The small subcompact pistol PM45 from Kahr Arms’ Premium series comes in the powerful .45 ACP caliber. The barrel length is only 8.2 cm (3.24 inches). The slide has a matte stainless steel finish, but the receiver of the subcompact pistol is made of black polymer.
On the inside of the pistol is a Browning system with a tilting barrel and a DAO trigger. The drifting rear sight has a white line to facilitate aiming, and the front sight has a white dot.
The Kahr PM45 comes in a transport box and with 3 magazines, each with a capacity of 5 rounds. One of the magazines is equipped with an extension (enlarged floor plate). This allows even shooters with large hands to securely grab onto the frame of the compact pistol.

Kahr Arms K9 Stainless pistol in 9mm Luger
Unlike the PM45, the K9 comes in 9mm Luger. The frame is not made of polymer, but of stainless steel with a matte finish. This also makes the pistol heavier than the PM45 model. Only the Hogue grip panels are made of soft black rubber. The barrel on the K9 is slightly longer: 8.9 cm (3.5 inches). In the USA, both pistols are designed specifically for concealed carry and self-defense or as back-up weapons.
The stainless steel K9 has a DAO trigger and a modified Browning system. Here too, the drifting rear sight has a contrasting white line and the drifting front sight a white dot.
