Frequently Asked Questions

How do you field strip a Kahr CM45?

To field strip a Kahr CM45, first ensure it's unloaded. Move the slide back until a cut aligns with a tab behind the slide release. Tap the pin on the back of the slide release with a non-marring hammer. Let the slide ease forward, pull the trigger, and the slide will come off. Then remove the recoil assembly and barrel.

What are the key features of the Kahr CM45?

The Kahr CM45 features a tungsten Cerakote finish, a slim trigger guard designed for comfort and profile, three-dot sights, and a consistent, smooth double-action trigger pull. It also has a polished feed ramp and excellent chamber support for .45 ACP ammunition.

What is the trigger pull like on the Kahr CM45?

The Kahr CM45 has a long double-action style trigger pull that is very consistent and smooth, making it difficult to predict the break. While the reset is noted as being quite long, the subsequent pull remains smooth.

Does the Kahr CM45 use MIM parts?

Yes, the Kahr CM45, being part of Kahr's economy line, utilizes MIM (Metal Injection Molding) parts where it doesn't significantly impact performance, such as on the slide release. This helps to keep the firearm's cost down and make it more affordable.
