trigger mod on cw9

[kittkatt23]

newbie here. just joint the forum today. i went shooting yestarday with my cw9 and g19. my cw9 was shooting great and i was loving it, until my hand got sweaty and wet. then, my finger started to slip on trigger, from my first knocket all the way to second. that caused my shoot to go way off. my grip on the gun was also slippery. i felt like i had a hard time holding the gun. i don't have the problem with long trigger pull itself, but i don't like the smooth feel to trigger. my G19 trigger has groves it and that provents my finger from moving all over the place. any ideas as how i can change my cw9 trigger? i was thinking of putting dremal tool to it and making the cuts myself. :eek: aslo, any ideas on how to make grips less slippery? i have hogue drip on g19, but i'm not sure they make a small version that would fit cw9. i live in FL, which make things even worst. if i can't be accurate w/cw9 due to weather, then i can't carry the gun in the summer time, which the only reason i bought it in the first place. :mad::mad:

probab ly a hot day to and it just happens. In a SHTF sweety hands probably is not gonna be an issue. Personally I wouldn't do it but its ur gun. Glock triggers are plastic, this is stainless steel and ur gonna do the mod on the gun and not apart, as trust me, u don't want to take that trigger system apart. Shoot more, u just bought the gun, u will adjust to the trigger. Not sure I have ever read of any kahr owner stating ur issue. Some gun owners buy this skate baord tape and do wonderrs with it on guns, such as grip area. U might buy some of that and experiment with it on the trigger itself, no harm no foul that way and it might give u an idea of whether u indeed weant to fokk up a nice trigger. Just sayin

welcome aboard,u bought a super nice kahr.:behindsofa:

For some anything that plugs into electricity shouldn't be near a gun.

I wonder if a guy could mask everything off real good and bead blast a little grittiness to the surface.

I guess a guy could clean the trigger face really good and put a little piece of skateboard tape on it but I doubt it would hold up too good.

[jocko]

probably right,but worth a try. Some of these small ass files might also make the surface ruff, might not be putry but it might be functional for what heis after.

Personally I think the owner is way to critical of what he is wanting to achieve. WOW, I can't believe I just made that statemet. as I have no fokking clue what I just said.

[MW surveyor]

I was going to suggest putting (that doesn't look right!) some electrical shrink wrap on it. Did that to the POS P3AT that I had to smooth the trigger out. Did work pretty good and never came off.

That's a jolly splendid idea. I think that might work just fine and dandy. A person could even slice the front after it's installed and shrunk to add more texture.

Does have the word electrical but doubt it could cause any harm. Course the blow dryer/ heat gun, acetylene torch could be a problem in the wrong hands.

thanks for quick replies. i have had this gun for about 2yrs now, but this is the first time i put 50 + rnd in very hot weather. i'll got to wally world tonight and pick up some skate board tape. its easier then doing a hard mod on trigger. i can always get trigger be-blasted as option B.

[jocko]

that is good sh!t and I have no doubt it will shrink and stay to. nice idea surv. a shame the great one never thoufght of it but again it is a shame if he thinks of anything original. Just sayin.

A hogue Handall Jr. slip on grip should fit if you like a finger groove

[jocko]

most hardware stores carryt hat shrink wrap stuff to in all diameters. I would like to think if u clean that trigger area and maybe with some fine sand paper run it by that trigger a few times and then apply that skate tape, it might just stay for you. that stuff is good stuff if allis clean before applying. I gotta admit I like the shrink wrap idea of the twi deas presented. U proabably would have a hard time bead blasing that trigger where it is at to, I think that would be my last resort. MOre than one way to skin a horse. Just sayin

[MW surveyor]

cause he like u. He doesn't like me. Just sayin...

If you didn't keep sending him the horse heads, he might get to like you too.:behindsofa:

Imitation is the flattery of copycats, who needs to be original.

I've got that messed up somehow don't I?

If I do stuff that you do its cause I like ya and flatters ya.

I've been thinking of sending animal parts to folks but I'm not sure I like ya that much.

[MW surveyor]

No way! We have laws around here about keepin dead livestock! (Now there's a contradiction in terms :) )

Sorry for the thread jack and BTW - WELCOME TO THE FORUM

Bawanna, don't you dare send him my address!

about to order hogue grips from amazon.com i should have it by wed. my next shooting day will be aug 3. i'll put about 50-100 rnd through my cw9 at that time. i'll come back and update my findings. thanks again

[jocko]

Maybe wait until u get the hogue grips on the gun and maybeit will also sove the trigger thing to. Just sayin. Many here do the grip stuff and love it. Also a bike inner tube does the same thing.. I ahve been told if u cout the end off of a size large TROJAN it wirks great to. Just sayin. Most local gas stations and truck stops have alot around.. Remember, we are here to help:behindsofa::behindsofa:

fired my cw9 last Friday. we spend 5hrs at range. had a great time. but my kahr trigger is still an issue. i put hogue grips on it, but that didn't solve my trigger finger issue. i'm going to google on how to disassamble the gun to remove the trigger. then, i'm going to put dremel tool to the trigger and put horizontal groves very simalar to a lot of rifle tirggers. wish me luck.

i live in FL, which make things even worst

Conventional wisdom says that a smooth trigger is better for double action firing precisely because the finger can slip on it. This has been the wisdom for decades on revolvers, and on pistols. Smith & Wesson makes three different width triggers for their revolvers, each available in grooved or smooth.

If you want a texture on your trigger, and one that looks ok.... stipple it lightly. If you get the trigger out, its an easy home smithy project to do with a light hammer, punch and vice to hold the trigger in while doing the work.

That's odd, owning a Kahr prevented me from having sweaty palms. Hogue Handall grips will fit a Kahr compact and fill the hand nicely without a lot of added bulk. I have to admit that Kahr's smooth trigger makes my trigger finger a little itchy. Haven't found a cure for that. Hope I never do.

"Two words that should never be used together.........Dremel and gun! "

Get Real!

My joyful specimen of a CW9 would just be a paperweight without skilled Dremel tool use. Somebody had to finish making it.
