I just purchased a CM 45 and I was wondering what the differences are between the CM 45 and CW 45.
I am new to the Kahr family and I have yet to perform its first cleaning. I was skeptical but a $385 price tag out the door for this Little 45 seemed like a good deal. I was not able to find many reviews on the CM45 only the CW45 model. I have seen a few horror stories about failure to feeds and failure to ejects. Even after the 200 round break-in. I would like to hear any feedback on that as well as I have chosen this pistol as a EDC piece. Also would like recommendations on CC holsters.

I was wondering the same thing between CM40 and CW40. All I can see is capacity, the CW40 holds one more round, but also makes it bigger and heavier. I like my CM40, I pocket carry. I've only been to the range a couple time, but it's been flawless. It shoots a little low, but I've learned how to compensate.

I have the cm45 and the cw45. The cw45 holds one more round. Both are very good shooters and get really smooth after a few hundred rounds. My cw45 must have close to 1000 rounds through it and its smooth as butter. The Cm45 has maybe 400+ rounds through it and has smoothed out nicely also.

You will like the cm45.

Thanks for the quick responses I hope this little 45 does run good. Only range time will tell. Thanks guys

CM is shorter both ways by about 1/4 inch or so. The CM is newer to the lineup so it may have some teething issues.All Kahrs require a break in period but all my Kahrs have been outstanding shooters. I've used a Galco King TUC made for a S&WM&P and find it fits fantastic with good retention, presentation, and conceal ability. Also use a Mitch Rosen own leather holster for a Glock 26 which works as well. I have to choose now which to carry, my PM9 or my CM45. Not a bad outcome either way
