Being a new Kahr owner, I watched this video when I bumped into it, while searching for information on Kahr products. I watched it three times, because it talked about the long pull on Kahr triggers, and the long reset. I wasn't particularly impressed with what was being said, because I don't advocate light triggers for duty, or for self-defense weapons in any environment. Stock triggers can be modified, but light triggers don't belong in high adrenaline scenarios, IMHO.
What caught my attention and held it, was the so-called "instructor" was discussing a scenario where you have a perp in front of you, holding some sort of deadly weapon, and how you should prefer the Glock trigger because you can ".....take up the slack until you feel the break point" and hold your perp at bay in that trigger condition. That you can pull back to the break point and feel it is true. But would you do that and stand there with your gun pointed at a perp until you pulled it off without intending to do so?
I've been retired for seven, almost eight years. I've owned and carried Glocks since 1991, and trained other personnel in the use of Glocks. I've been through transition training and have successfully qualified with Glocks for years. That would include Tuller drills for exactly the scenario being discussed. A LOT of Tuller drills.
I have NEVER heard an informed Glock instructor advise a class to "...take up the slack" on a Glock trigger, when you have someone at the business end of the barrel. Unless you are going to take them out for sure.
Instead, I've listened to warning after warning about the effects that adrenaline can play in an unexpected discharge situation. In fact, I have a wounded dining room table because I didn't keep my danged finger out of the trigger guard. My son will never sneak up behind to surprise me again, as long as he lives. And my wife will never quit telling my screw up to the world. She liked that table.
So, have I been out of the loop too long? Is what this guy is selling the currently accepted technique for holding someone at gunpoint? If so, please let me know. I would hate to think that I'm politically incorrect.
By the way, the CW45 is terrific. Not broke in all the way, but so far, so good.
