CAM2,
The Kahrs have a nice trigger pull, very similar to the Glock. I don't own one, but I've shot them at the range.

The only drawback I'm aware of is inherent to any ultra-compact. You have to practice to shoot well with it.

The P40 you asked about is the polymer version of their .40 cal. It's a bit lighter than the K40, but just a little larger. The polymer P40 may exhibit slightly more muzzle flip when fired, but if you practice with it, that shoudln't be a problem.

Since Florida allows Concealed Carry, I'm assuming you want a very small gun to hide. These single stacks are nice and compact.
Personally, I like capacity. If you have a simlilar view, I would suggest the Glock 27. Also a .40, it holds 10 rounds, where the Kahr holds 6 or 7? (I forget) Get the magazine extention to keep your little finger on the pistol for more control.
One advantage of the G27 is that for spare ammo, you can carry the higher capacity full size mags from the full size guns (G22 and G23). You can even get a 29 round mag like I have.

The .40 is an excellent caliber and the slim Kahrs feel good to me. If you want light weight, go with the P40, If you want the smallest package, go with the K40.



Keep 'em all in the Bull.
