Smallest 40 cal?

[hittman]

What's the smallest size 40 cal semi-auto on the market?

Anything to compare with the LC9?

Kahr PM40----Ruger LC9

BBL 3.1"------BBL 3.12"
5+1 or 6+1---7+1
OAL 5.47"----OAL 6"
H 4"-----------H 4.5"
W .94---------W .90
WT 17.7------WT 17.1

That would be a handful...

Hum I'm sure I can't name them all. Just a couple off the top of my head I consider very small for caliber.

M&P Shield in .40

I heard Beretta is going to make the Nano BU9 in .40, and had planned to do so all along but for some reason hasn't shown up yet. If they do this, finding a smaller .40 semi auto then that will be very difficult I think.

The PM40 isn't too bad. My blowback NAA .380 was worse.

The Kahr CW40 is very light and very thin. You wouldn't want to shoot it all day, but it's not bad.

Interesting. That Kahr CW40 looks about the same size as my Kahr P9 in 9mm, and I would not want to shoot it all day either.

The Shield is very close to the LC9 in size. I will also say, even in the .40, the Shield is extremely easy to shoot.

Here's some size comparisons between the LC9 and Shield...

Taurus makes a small .40, the PT740, which is about the same size as the LC9. I don't usually recommend Taurus products, but they do make one.

I wonder why Ruger hasn't made a LC40?
