Well, the CW is the less expensive version of the P series, and the PM is the more compact version of the P series. You didn't mention it, but the CM is the less expensive version of the PM series. There is not a lot of difference in the design or performance of any of them. The less expensive CW and CM guns have mainly cosmetic differences, but are not lesser in quality or performance. The P and CW series guns are perfect for concealed carry on the waist, and very comfortable and fun to shoot with the grip just big enough for a full hand grip. The PM and CM guns are perfect for pocket carry or easier concealment anywhere you put them. I find the two finger grip comfortable with my CM9. It might be less comfortable in 40 caliber.

More machining on the slide, match grade barrel + I more. Check kahr website I believe they list differences.
Just how many times do you guys think this same question has been asked and answered here over last three years? Think it warranted a new thread?

probably a 100 times but what the hell, we dulicate all the time here. sometimes it seems easier to ask than to try to do all the searchy stuff. Just sayin
The CW45 is the cost effective P45. Both are the same size.
The CW has a standard rifled barrel, and "less fancy" slide machining and engraving.
It also has a "metal injection molded" slide stop" - which has shown no ill effects from wear as compared to the fully machined (not forged) slide stop.
The PM45 is smaller than either, has the polygonal rifling, and the machined slide stop. Its smaller in both grip length and barrel length, specifics of which are on Kahrs ultra friendly website
