I can't think of anything 9mm that small that's a DA/SA. Most near-pocket pistols are DAO design.

CZ RAMI is bigger and heavier da/sa.

Taurus 709 slim may be da/sa, I forget what trigger they apply to that model. They also have the PT111 which is bigger, probably has their "strike two" sort-of da/sa trigger. Not really recommending Taurus.

SIG P 239 a true da/sa, with an excellent rep, but bigger still. Would work as a concealment gun, but is not pocket-size like your Kahr.

If DA/SA is such a big deal for you, consider the BERSA Thunder 380, a reliable traditional DA/SA which is just a little too big for pocket use.

Wonder why da/sa so important to you. The Kahr's trigger is long and heavy enough for safety, but still very smooth and shootable. I flirted with da/sa guns a couple of years ago, but have concluded that one trigger pull is much easier than two to deal with, and shoot accurately.

Bersa makes a 9mm that is close in dimensions etc to the CM9. Possible exception being the length. http://www.bersa.com/bersa-firearms/thunder-uc-pro-series.html I don't know if it would interest you or not, it is DA/SA, and Bersa is a very reliable hand gun. It may be a little big if you plan to pocket carry.

The S&W CS9 is close to this size, but it has been discontinued for some years now and is somewhat difficult to find because it wasn't a hot seller.

The Bersa THunder .380 is also a hammer fired gun, if that makes a difference to you.

Though not made anymore, I think that the old Star BM is about the same size. Or as close as I've seen. For a while they were going through the surplus houses for about 200-250. Supposedly one of the better examples of a Star from what I have read.

Most of the DA/SA designs are geared towards a double stack for 9mm, with very few exceptions (most of which are no longer made). That would probably end up being your limiting factor when considering size. Also, many of those guns that fit the criteria do not have a polymer frame like the Kahrs do.
