Granted I bought my P45 over 15 years ago and it's had a lot more rounds through it than my brand new P9, but in shooting them back to back this morning I was surprised and curious about how much longer the trigger pull is on the P9 over the P45.

I like the P45 shorter draw length much better.

Anybody have any input? I'd appreciate the collective knowledge of this forum.

Nobody else shooting both guns who can offer any input as to their perception of trigger difference?

I have only 9mm, but you piqued my curiosity, so I checked:
both steel-framed have shorter pulls than the poly. MK is shortest, K very similar, but feels a hair longer.
PM definitely longer than the steels, but slightly shorter than P9.
CW9 longest; almost feels like it's going to bottom out against frame, but releases just before.
I like 'em all, though, and lack the ambition to root cause it all. Oddly, MK9 and CW9 are my favorite shooters of the bunch - weird.

Thank you very much for the response & input. I guess I'll call Kahr next year and ask.

My brand new P9 feels like it has about a 1/8" to 3/16" longer pull before release than the P45 I've had since 2006.
