    that 5#striker will reduce in power just like thge factory spring did. Mine is around 4.5#. don't get greedy, too little could be to much sometimes.

    thats what my first girl friend told me anyhow.. In my teen days that would be called a 5" striker..

    I'm with you, not on the 5" striker thing but on the greedy...

    Anyway, I need to get a trigger scale and see if mine is that low. Doesn't feel like it is, but that might just be my little girl hands.
    This place isn't safe.

    Bringing this post back to the top...

    With the holiday season coming, this is THE GIFT you should get for yourself and your Kahr!

    I've easily put another couple of hundred rounds through my P9 Covert since I changed my spring, and it still works great! So I just did the same to a used CW9 that I picked up for a backup stashed piece here in the house.

    You HAVE to do this if you want to hit what you're aiming at!

    Jocko, I missed the question about the P380, but all Kahr striker springs are the same size. I put the 5-lb springs in two P380s.

    Not meaning to necro post but bumping this thread for the benefit of anyone else who needs to read it. Wolf springs website has a warning that the spring change is not for duty use so I'm glad to read real world experience that there are no problems with the modification. I need an improvement on the 2003 PM9 trigger in a lightly used piece I just bought a few days ago.

    Striker Springs - Reduced Power - W. C. Wolff Company offers reduced power striker springs (firing pin springs) for Kahr pistols rated at 5 pounds. The factory striker spring is 6 pounds. This spring will help improve the trigger pull.
    Warning: This spring is for competition use only - not for duty use.

    That's just lawyer talk. I have em in my PM45 and my K40, no problems. I used a decent pull gauge and both mine were originally on the low end closer to 5# than 6. It still improved slightly especially after a little time and rounds fired but nothing drastic.

    It's like don't pour the hot McDonalds coffee in your lap it might burn you. Duh? Ya know one of those things.

    That's Wolff CYA should something go wrong, go wrong, go wrong, go wrong. This has been a recorded message.
