This may sound strange . . .

Most folks asking about trigger pull are looking to decrease its weight in order to improve accuracy. I, on the other hand, would like to increase the trigger pull weight on my CW9 from 5 lbs to about 7 lbs. I don't wish to spend a lot of money to accomplish this so I am wondering if a change in striker springs might do the trick. And does anyone know where I might purchase one?

You do know that they come from the factory with a trigger pull weight of about 6 to 7 pounds?

Not sure but I believe that Wolff (gunsprings.com) might have a heavier than standard striker spring available.

My CM9's trigger pull, with the stock striker spring, measured 7.1# on my gauge. When I changed to the reduced power spring, the pull leveled out at 5.4#-5.6#.

Call or email Kahr. Explain what you want to accomplish. They may have some parts left over from the NYC police trigger program that might fit. If not, ask for a new stock striker spring. Yours might just be "tired".

Markis82 - Thanks for the input. I was not sure if they had a heavier spring and did not want to go to the Wolff site when I posted.

BTW - I have the reduced power spring in my CW9 also and really like the difference in the pull weight.

Not trying to thread jack here, but is that reduced striker spring one of those things the DA can have a field day with cause you "made it easier" to shoot the gun?

is pure lawyer talk, never been a cvase where that has happened. If in doubt don't do it but I sure love my 5# striker spring and I don't worry about that spring sh!t anymore than if I had HP rounds in my gun either..

Well, I e-mailed Kahr customer service and received this reply: "Good afternoon. Unfortunately we do not have any striker springs to change the trigger pull in any way." :(

[TucsonMTB]

Interesting. Did you tell them you just wanted a heavier trigger? Or did you prevent them from making other suggestions by saying you wanted a heavier striker spring?

[jocko]

ur right Tucosn, kahr only makes one striker spring. none heavier on the NYPD model either. I think soe think the trigger pull and trigger ooundage are the same on a kahr, They are not. Trigger pull is the length of the pull which on all kahrs today is 3/8" except the new enhanced trigger which is 1/2". Trigger poundage is the same on every model kahr made today, which does vary from 6 to 7+ #'s. If one wants a lower trigger poundage, then wolffs provided a 5# striker spring but the trigger pull is still what u kahr originally came with..

I'm sure your busy packaging some equestrian parts but your numbers are switched around here son. The enhanced should be better than standard not worse. I thought standard was 3/8" and 1/2" is bigger if my Stanley 25 ft tape measure isn't lying to me. Take another stab at this, I don't know what I'm talking about.

[jocko]

sorry about that but my point was the trigger pull in the enhanced is shorter, I guess I did get that reversed kbut actually I knew that but I also knew you were monitorinbg my posts and I was just testing you to see if u were gonna pick up that reversal, as I hear there is now on kahr forum a title of super duper moderator, and u pass that test. although u have a long way togo before u ge that title, one has to start somewhere and as u stated in anothe rpost, u want to start at the top and work down but that ain't gonna happen with the super duper moderator title. One has to start at the bottom and prove himself worthy of the title. No horse head packaging required, u passed the ol jocko test, there will be more tests coming forth, u just gotta keep a keen eye for them. Miss one test post and u hav eto start back at the bottom again.

U done well great one.

enhanced trigger pull/distance is now 1/4" over what all kahrs today are 3/8" trigger pull/distance.

O great and glorious jocko..Do you know exactly how they got the trigger pull to 1/4"?

Different cams, different trigger bar or what?

This is not a trick question. I really would like to know.

but I would imagine it is the same acenario as the NYPD trigger system only in reverse (shorter). If I had to guess I am gonna say it is trigger bar and trigger the two major parts that can be altered with no frame changes.

I haVE BEEN TOLD AND i JUST CANNOT BELIEVE IT EITHER BUT i AM TOLD THE LOWER FRAME ON THE gun with the external safety and the enhanced trigger are different internally as the standard polymer kahr frames.,so theref ore it willnot work in the standard polymer frames. I do not know that for a fact.

Personaly I think this could be kahrs way of saying we are not gonna sell the enhanced triger parts for any standard kahr without the external safety. A 1/4" triger pull IMO might be alittle hairy on ones pocket. Kinda to me getting into the glock territory, so I would suspect even if the enhanced trigger would fit in our polymer kahrs that we own now, that kahr will not do the change over or even sell the necessary parts to anyone. My guess only.

I see on the wolff site, that they offer a multi pack of striker springs? Is this just for if you have several kahrs? (why would you need more than one? much less ten?) Does this just give the trigger a lighter pull? Would it work on the p380? Sorry for all the questions.



Maybe I should have just pm'd ol jocko :D

[MW surveyor]

tinman - had to look at that photo for a few seconds to "get it". LOL

jocko - Really would like to do this to my CW9 but looks like that's not gonna happen.

PYRO - Well, if you got the 10 pack it's one for you + a spare and the rest for your next closest friends. I believe that the striker springs are the same for every gun made by Khar. Yes, they really do lighten the trigger up.

not on the 380 but on all other kahrs. 10 pak seems alittle like alot. I bought a 3 pak and still have oneleft. trigger just gets alighter pull. It is a very nice mod that requires nothing other than taking the original spring out and putting this spring it.:third:
