Is the Kahr arms cm45 rated for +p rounds?

Branden, yes Sir. Details under FAQ ammunition here : -- https://www.kahr.com/faq/

What would be an accurate size comparison to this weapon, and what magazines are compatible with this weapon aside from the obvious kahr mags?

the closest in size is the S&W shield 45 https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/19663/smith+%26+wesson+m%26p+shield+45+acp+33+w%2f+thumb+safety+7rd+6rd and only mags made for the Kahr will fit and work

Adam, This would compare to most sub-compact 45 ACP handguns. The S&W Shield 45 ACP is a good example. The Kahr factory magazines are your only choice.

Adam, this is close in size/weight to the Springfield XDS - video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0isnXou67kA) -- Magazines are here ; https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/46032/kahr+arms+45+acp+6+round+magazine+w%2fextension+for+pm45

Im a Federal lawenforcment officer and California is making this tough. Can I buy this gun and have it shipped to california legally?

Yes as long as you meet this standard "Certain entities (departments or city/county offices) and sworn officers (individuals) are eligible to purchase “off-roster” handguns. These entities/officers must have satisfactorily completed the firearms portion of a training course prescribed by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training pursuant to CA Section 832. That expanded list of entities/officers can be found here." https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/california_restrictions.pdf and http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billCompareClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB2165

Should not be a problem Brett. The restrictions are: "State of California ACTIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT officersand peace officers with proper credentials on file MAY purchase off-roster handguns. This exemption includes FEDERAL law enforcement officers residing or working in California." Just contact Buds and get your credentials sent in and you'll be good to go. Either call, or use the "Chat Now" feature to establish initial contact. I sent mine in electronically.

Yes you can Sir. You will need to contact Buds directly to get your LE Credentials to set up the transfer to CA at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon - Sat and 9am to 7pm Sunday.

Don't you hate when they don't state how many mags?!

Kahr Arms CM4543TU3 CM45 Double 45 ACP 3.24" 5+1 Black Polymer Grip Tungsten Cerakote
	
The CM45 is chambered in a 45 ACP, has a 3.24" barrel and an overall length
of 5.79, with a height of 4.49". The pistol weighs in at 17.3 ounces plus 2
ounces for the 5 rd stainless steel magazine. Its black polymer frame
features a incomparable cocking cam trigger system that employs a patented
cam to both unlock the firing pin block (passive safety) and complete
cocking and releasing of the firing pin. The system provides a "safe-cam
action" and unbelievably smooth double action only trigger stroke, fast to
fire in critical defensive situations. The CM45 slide is only 1.01 inch
wide and has a Tungsten Cerakote finish.

My first purchase with Buds. Lowest prices around and very smoothe transaction. I have to say that I'm in love with this CM45. Very attractive and concealable pistol. Went to the range and put about 150 rounds thru it so far. Remington and Federal white boxes. No hiccups, no FTF or FTE. And to be honest, I was expecting to have some issues. I think the big things with these little car pistols is all in the prep. Cleaning, racking it, and leaving the slide open for a few days go a long way. Great pistol so far with no regrets!
