I really like my Kahr. They make a CW40. I would hate to have to shoot that one though. The CW9 has a harsh enough recoil with +P 9mm rounds, I would think a .40 would be a lot to handle.
I have shot both the PM9 (my main carry) and PM40. The .40 is definitely a lot more to manage. These are slightly smaller than the CW series, but I would think they would be very similar in reaction. I have yet to shoot the PM45, but plan to rent one if possible the next time I am at the range. It is just barely larger than the PM9 and I think the difference in the ballistics on the .45 over the .40 should make it easier to handle.
