Sorry to be blunt, but that is ugly as it can be. Plus it eliminates one of the safety features I like my Kahr for...the long revolver like trigger pull.

I agree that the trigger is ugly, and will not sell unless they make it more attractive and fitting for the Kahr design. The shortened trigger pull, however, will sell. There are many companies who already offer similar triggers for M&Ps, Glocks, etc. I'm interested as well. I believe these will sell well if the final product is both attractive and dependable. Everything isn't for everybody...

Being it's a prototype they may not have the outward asthetics addressed as yet.

The first 1911 prototypes by John Moses Browning (God rest his soul) were ugly as could be, very crude but worked.
Once they hit the market place they were the most beautiful weapons the world has ever seen and remain so to this day.

I myself will not opt for the shortened trigger, for my purposes the Kahr is fine out of the box, but I hope this flies well for those who desire it and also for Galloway.

I agree completely, for what it's worth :yo:

If installation is easy I will definitely try one.

[Mike_usn_ret]

Nope, count me out on this one. I bought a Kahr for what it IS.

I’m definitely interested in knowing more and reserving judgement until we see the final product. Another supplier of aftermarket accessories for concealed carry handguns including Kahr, recently told me it can’t be done on the CM9.

I think it'll be a big hit IMHO. It'll probably will convert some people who never considered a Kahr before as well.

IIRC, when Kahr’s line of DA-only easily concealed handguns was introduced it was light years ahead of the competition.
Fast forward to 2019 and other options are available, especially with aftermarket mods that make them very competitive with Kahr. When I purchased my CM9, it was the obvious choice for me.. no question. Today, that choice is not nearly as clear. Some aftermarket improvement options will help.

Next video I'm do it on our CW9, all Kahr pistols share the same parts internally with the exception of the ones equipped with a safety, and the striker guide of the .380 pistols.

Thanks for the update :)

What I would like to see is a flat front face trigger.
Watching others shoot our Kahrs they seem to push the muzzle to the left.
IMHO the long trigger pull and the radiused face causes the finger to rotate from center to the side of the trigger at let off. Thus pushing it away from the hand
Wife and I place our finger pad on the opposite side of the trigger and pull (not push) the trigger back at an angle toward the hand. So at let off the pad is centered on the trigger
I'm just saying :behindsofa:

Got the stainless steel in for the trigger and we'll start milling them out shortly.

[guido4198]

Very anxious to see this ....and I don't care how "ugly" it is.
Concealed carry ain't a fashion show. If someone is looking at a firearm I have been carrying concealed...it's GOING OFF...and they have a lot more to be concerned about than how "ugly" the trigger is.

Great. Thanks for keeping us posted.

As I have said in other forums:

I wouldn't be caught dead defending myself with an ugly gun.

[Bawanna]

Me too, looking cool is job #1 and not that difficult to accomplish.

Being cool is to the eye of the beholder, pretty much anything goes.

Back when police were making the transition from revolvers the understanding was that you need a manual safety for a single-action gun, but a double-action trigger makes that unnecessary.
But the double-action pull on most double-action auto-pistols (as contrasted with revolvers) was horrendous.

It seems to me that the purpose of Glock's "Safe-Action" was to reduce the length and weight of the auto-pistol's "double-action only" trigger to something manageable by using a partially preset striker. (Think of it as a 1-and-a-half-action trigger.) Kahr perfected this idea with a trigger that resembled that of a competition-only double-action revolver so heavily tuned that it could bust only soft primers -- but shorter and completely reliable.

What disturbs me is that the market today seems to be moving towards striker-fired pistols whose triggers are essentially stiff single-action triggers with a long take-up -- but no manual safety.

How did it become OK to carry a single-action gun with no manual safety? With the increased use of kydex, it seems that people want to use the holster as the manual safety.
