Try Dawson Precision
Dawson doesn't list it on their site. Only list fiber optic.

Kahr lists a night sight for the cw or cmn series, but I thijnk u gotta buy front and back, but nothig says u have to install the back. I think they offer the trijicon night sight package.
I have a freind (strange ain't it) tha thas a cm9 and put the dawson fiber optic on his cm9 and says it is better than any sight he ever had.
I havenoticed on my 5 yearsold PM9 that my xs big dot night sight is now very very dim in evening, basically not much left to call it a night sight. I ai't gonna loose anysleep over it either

I bought just the front night sight for my CW9 from the Kahr shop. Haven't looked to see if they are still available though.
EDITED TO ADD: Just went to the Kahr shop and do not see the front sight only. You might want to try Dawson or others again and use the CM9 or any CW series for your search as they all use the same front sight.

I'd call them and see if they will sell you just the front night sight. It's a great addition.

FYI Here is the Dawson front N.S.

I don't think you can get the front only Trijicon anymore from Kahr, but like Les said a call wouldn't hurt to confirm, when they did sell them they were $30 vs the $50 for the Dawson. I bought 2 front Trijicon's from Kahr but it was a few months ago.

I don't know why anyone doesn't consider some of these stick on ones for a few dollars. One pack is enough to do 4 applications on a Kahr, so when they start getting dim, replace them 3 times. All for just $12 and maybe some shipping. If you are worried about them falling off, super glue them.

A few seconds with a good tactical light will do it. Or sit your gun under your desk lamp.
I can't balance and walk in total darkness, so I have night lights all around my house and flashlights strategically located. Complete darkness is just not a situation I am likely to ever be in, so I think night sights would be a waste for me. I would probably get the Daysiters in bright colors - yellow or orange. WTH, at $12 you can afford to experiment, right?

I think the Nitesiter product can be a viable option for folks looking at night sights, but one reason I replaced the OEM sights on my "C" series Kahrs is that the front sight is plastic. Now granted, we don't see a lot of posts about them failing, but it doesn't take much lateral force to snap one off. The metal replacement sight from Kahr or Dawson just gives me more confidence that it will still be there when I need it.

I emailed trijicon about night sights and here is their response....
"Good Morning
Thank you for your interest in Trijicon products. We do not offer sights for KAHR pistols. KAHR is a customer of ours and like many other manufacturers, provides sight assemblies ready for us to install our tritium lamps and return for firearm installation or distribution. You may also want to contact our recommended specialty shop for advisement www.tooltechgunsight.com/"
