The .40 versions are going cheaper because many have moved down to 9mm. I was able to pick up my Kahr k40 for 400.00 used because it sat on the for sale list for so long.

That said, I did a comparison a couple of weeks ago with my K40 and my brothers .40 shield. THe Kahr had more muzzle flip to control, but the shield had sharper recoil coming straight back into the hand. I preferred the Kahr to the shield as I was considering moving over to the Shield because I already had a 9mm version. I decided to stick with the Kahr.

I was also shooting my Kahr PM9 and comparing the PM9 to my 9mm Shield, I'm moving over the the PM9 for my carry.
