I didn't think of my first Kahr as anything but a DAO carry gun with a great history of reliability. This CW40 goes everywhere in a "Bellyband" holster and conceals well. I have once dissassembled the slide and polished whatever, but never tinkered with the lower.
THEN, just because I can't pass up a great deal on a new gun, I bought the CT45 a month ago from Robertson Trading Post.

KAHR sells parts;
reasonably priced parts.
I can screw-up a part, and buy a new one...Hmmmmmm how bout a light trigger-pull, Hmmmmmmm

So, I tore the new gun down, polished the crap out of every mating surface, and got me a smooth 4 pound trigger DAO. Yep! 4 pounds consistently. I love this gun.
BTW The CT45 can take an 8 round mag MEC-GAR $19 (also sold by Robertson) with a very minor modification to the base pad.

Better way to do it than with light springs.

I don't know if I'd carry a gun with a 4 pound trigger, but that's cool.

This CT45 is a plinker and range blaster. My carry gun, the CW40 has a stock lower and even so, a smooth 5 pound trigger. The KAHR safety factor is the DAO/length of pull. With a half inch travel, a 4 pound trigger won't get you in trouble.

BTW, My USPSA competition guns are all set below 3# pull.

Sounds like you have a keeper. I just got the CT45 and really like it. Great for the range and good for carry in cooler weather. So far I have been satisfied with Kahr firearms.

Oh, okay. Maybe 1 pound would be fine, too.

Well done. I polished everything upper and lower on my cw45, cm9, and ct9. You're right they are super smooth and light when polished up.
