P9 Trigger Staging Question

[Phantom]

My son and I were recently shooting my K9 and P9 pistols. He is trying some of mine to determine what he wants as a ccw pistol when he turns 21.

Anyway, we both typically stage the trigger by taking up the free play then break the shot. On the P9 we both noticed that the "stop" where the free play is taken up was different than we remember it being and much less of a stop than on the K9.

We both actually had unintentional double taps because the trigger is so much lighter. We did not have any of this with the K9.

We are both used to light triggers with our 1911's and have both been shooters of Kahr pistols for many years.

My question is what is going on with the P9? What should I look at inside the pistol for wear or changes?

is ur trigger the nypd trigger by any chance. It will stage differently. U are also talking two different guns here to. so it doesn't mean they exactly hav eto operate the same exace way. No doubt the P9 has the elite trigger in it. One might also be smoother than the utter for its own reason. guns break in different. 4 K9's might feel different . 4 P9 might feel different. they might allbe close to each other.
IMO nuttin wrong with either gun,just two different guns doing their own thing

I don't get why the break is different. The internal geometries are all the same. Steve

Understand I have owned both pistols for several years. This is an unexplained change in the p9

Of the three PM's I've got, the black PM45 is the smoothest and lightest. I wouldn't say double taps, but it also resets quicker than the trigger on my blunt nose PM9, and the much earlier PM45 (silver, now black K-Kote)

It really doesn't get me upset... I can shoot a man size target at 7 yards... quite easily. Further than that, I probably wont need to shoot.

There is really no designed in stage with the Kahr trigger. IMO, don't practice trying to stage that trigger. Just a good way to get an AD. Practice a smooth, confident full pull of the trigger with no disturbance of your aim. That long stroke is the designed in safety that you defeat when you try to stage.
