Smith or Kahr in Micro-40?

I have been mulling over a compact pistol, about the size of a Walther PPK, in S&W .40. I have found two candidates. The Smith Chief's Special, (CS40) and the Kahr MK40. Both would run me around $500 with taxes and so forth. The purpose of the pistol would be for carry on park trails in the summer where hot soupy Missouri heat necessitates light clothing (shorts T-shirt). Both guns are available in 9mm but I thought the .40 might be worth the extra recoil and so forth. Anyone have any observations on which of these two would be the better buy?

I have not done testing because the city is a difficult place to set up for that. Just from shooting the pistols, I get the impression that the 40 is quite a bit more powerful, but not much more difficult to shoot.
Thanks
