The P40 Premium Series combines a compact footprint with practical defensive features. Its blackened stainless slide includes rear serrations for confident manipulation and a beveled muzzle to aid holstering. The black polymer frame uses molded stippling for a secure grasp, and the offset feed-ramp/trigger-bar layout helps maintain the pistol’s slim profile. The frame is marked Worcester, Massachusetts, USA.
The striker-fired DAO system uses Kahr’s smooth Safe-Cam trigger, set at approximately 7.0 pounds, with an internal striker block as a passive safety. There is no external manual safety or magazine disconnect, aligning with Kahr’s streamlined defensive design philosophy.
The 3.5-inch barrel features polygonal rifling with a 1:16 right-hand twist. The bore presents a clean, mirror finish. Sights are the bar-dot style: a white front dot and a vertical white bar rear, drift-adjustable for windage.
Capacity is 7+1 in .40 S&W. Included are one 7-round and one 6-round single-stack magazine. The pistol’s approximate overall length is 6.1 inches, slide width is about 0.94 inches, and unloaded weight is roughly 16.8 ounces, balancing concealability with shootability.
