Sorry, I meant shorter in height, not length, thanks for pointing that out.

Both guns have a width of 0.9in, sig tells you that the slide release protudes another 0.2in, but I can't find that data for the PM9 (only gives slide width). The sig is also shorter, and has the option for a bigger magazine (6-8) verses the kahr (6-7). Also, I'd probably prefer a heavier pistol of that size chambered in 9mm.

I'd have to shoot both to say which I liked better (the Kahr is shorter with a longer (0.1in) barrel) but I wouldn't write off the 290.
