I've been trying to find a resource that lists the different dimensions for the kahr grips. Basically, I need to know the width and trigger reach. I want to compare the different size calibers to the pm9. I Love my pm9. Which fits my small hand perfectly! But, I would also like to get something in .40 or .45 caliber.....I think they call this the "potato chip syndrome";)

PM40 seems to match the PM9 in that area. The slide is slightly 1/10" wider, but it is not noticeable in the grip area.
Hopefully, there is a well stocked gun shop somewhere nearby. Measurements are not very useful unless they are grossly different. You really need to hold them to appreciate any differences.

unfortunately, the local gunshops don't carry them. But, will gladly order it for me.

Personally I'd go PM45 myself without question.
Larger than the PM9 but a great carry gun in a perfect caliber.

If the grips size and trigger reach is the same or real close, I would like the .45. But, I need to get a hold of one first. I saw a chart with the dimensions for the glocks and was hoping there was one out there for the Kahrs.

From the face of my trigger right at midpoint to the back of the frame at the radius where the web of your hand rest, basically parallel to the slide my PM45 is 2 5/8".
It's right at 1" thick side to side.

Check out this link...it was very informative when I was originally looking. I happily selected the PM9 and the CM9 and never looked back...they are now clearly my favorites! Every thing else takes a back seat when I get to the range.

Thanks Bawanna....now I'm on a mission to find the tape measure....it's probably somewhere with all the missings socks and pens.

For those same dimensions, my PM40 is 2 1/2" and 15/16". That does not seem like much of a difference.

That chart is exactly what I was loooking for. Thanks Skeletonslinky. Wish it listed all the Kahrs. By looking at that, I think the pm45 may be to long of a trigger reach. Because of how short mine is, a little difference matters. As it is, the pad of my finger just reaches on the pm9. It looks like the pm40 is the same though.

Yep! And, from shooting the PM9 that another shooter brought to the range along side of my PM40, other than the recoil and the size of the holes in the targets we were using, I could not tell them apart while shooting.
