Are they out yet? What's the difference?

They should be out already. Kahr released them at SHOT show in January.

The main differences, which are also the same for the PM and CM series:

-Cast slide release instead of forged
-Roll markings on the slide instead of laser etching
-Pinned front sight instead of driftable
-Harder edges on the slide (less machining)
-Standard rifling instead of polygonal rifling (barrel still made by Walther and +p rated though)
-One magazine instead of 2

All these reasons help them to drop the price by about $200. Functionally they are identical.

The price is where the CW380 beats the crap out of the P380. If you don't mind those small sacrifices, it's about $320 versus around $550. It is well worth it in my opinion.

For the price of a Ruger LCP, you get a better gun. Period.
