Kahr Arms KP4544N P *CA Compliant 45 ACP Caliber with 3.40" Barrel, 6+1 or 7+1 Capacity, Black Finish Frame, Serrated Matte Black Stainless Steel Slide, Textured Polymer Grip & TruGlo Night Sights

The Kahr Arms KP4544N P California Compliant 45 ACP Caliber pistol is a compact, single-action-only design engineered for operators and law enforcement professionals who demand reliable performance in a carry-ready platform. This 45 ACP features a 3.40-inch barrel, black stainless steel slide with serrated finish, and a textured polymer grip paired with TruGlo night sights for low-light target acquisition. The CA-compliant configuration meets state regulatory requirements while maintaining the mechanical integrity that defines Kahr's reputation for precision manufacturing.

Built on a lock-breech platform with Browning-type recoil lug geometry, the KP4544N delivers controlled recoil impulse standard to 45 ACP ballistics. The polygonal-rifled barrel maximizes chamber pressure efficiency and extends barrel life through reduced friction. Capacity configuration offers 6+1 or 7+1 rounds depending on magazine selection, trading magazine depth for shootable payload in a firearm scaled for concealment. The trigger-cocking, double-action-only mechanism incorporates a passive striker block and no magazine disconnect, simplifying manual of arms and eliminating failure modes common to more complex safety systems. Black frame material contrasts the matte black stainless slide, providing visual differentiation for tactical environments.

This configuration serves plainclothes law enforcement, investigators, and private security personnel where concealability and 45 ACP stopping power align with California legal restrictions. The compact 3.4-inch barrel maintains adequate sight radius for accurate defensive shooting while keeping overall length compatible with inside-waistband and pocket carry holsters. TruGlo night sights enable target identification and precision shot placement in vehicle interiors, building entries, and low-light patrol scenarios where secondary illumination may not be practical. Textured polymer grip surface ensures retention under stress and in wet conditions.

The KP4544N P represents the convergence of single-action-only ergonomics with modern striker-block safety architecture. Unlike traditional 1911-pattern safeties requiring manual manipulation, the DAO trigger cocking eliminates user-error safety fumbles during deployment. California's firearm regulations constrain magazine capacity and certain mechanical features; this variant navigates those restrictions without sacrificing the mechanical platform Kahr firearms are recognized for in the civilian and professional sectors.
