As I posted earlier this week, I lost the trigger bar spring on my CM9 while trying to do a trigger job.
I ordered the new spring on Wednesday night, Kahr shipped Thursday morning,and it arrived at my PO Box this morning at 7AM. I picked it up as soon as they opened, and completed the trigger job.
I sanded the trigger bar with 600-1000-2500 grit sandpaper, sanded the contact point of the spring with the same paper, and polished all of it with Flitz. Then, using a tip from The Yankee Marshal, I reassembled inside a two gallon Ziploc bag. Took me a couple of tries to get the spring in(and the bag saved my bacon),and now the trigger is MUCH better. It is not as glassy smooth as my K9, but it's close. I guess Kahr cuts a few corners to sell them so cheaply.
My pistol's frame was also not very well finished.The slide rails were filled with flash and little polymer hairs were fraying in a few spots, especially at the rear of the frame where it locks up with the slide plate. Putting some Flitz on the rails and hand cycling the pistol several hundred times made a huge difference.
Next weekend I go to the range and try it out. I've also added some rubberized Talon grips. If I like them, I think I will get some for my CW380 and my P9.
Thanks to the forum members who helped me earlier.
