CW9 trigger guard fix?

[chieffels]

I posted this in the wrong section first time. I pinch my trigger finger on the bottom of the CW9
trigger guard. Can the guard be heated to take out the hump?

I don't know, but that little hump is pretty annoying in my CW45. Looks kinda odd too.

It's plastic, so I imagine with enough heat it can be reshaped. Structural strength afterwards, who knows?

If I may suggest something else:
My trigger finger would be slightly irritated after shooting my CW9. Instead of this being a result of pinch, I found that my finger rubbing on the seam line inside the trigger guard to be the main culprit. I also think the sharp leading edge of the Kahr trigger might have been a contributing factor.
My solution was to eliminate the seam line where my finger rubbed on it and to break that front edge of the trigger.
Here's the trigger guard post op:

Here's the edge I rounded on the trigger:

Perhaps doing one of these (or both) operations might give your trigger finger some relief.

BTW, welcome to the forums

Still, I wonder why Kahr puts that little bump there. Must be a reason..

Greg, I did the same thing to my CW380 at the inner surface of the plastic trigger guard. Sanded the whole thing smooth. I may do the trigger edge-- though on the 380, it is actually the top edge of the trigger that gets me.

I had to do that with my Glock 19, for the seam inside the triggerguard was abrading my finger. Thank goodness plastic is so easy to sand/shape and doesn't require any refinishing afterwards.

[chieffels]

Thanks for all the replies. I'll try some heat and do the sanding idea.

I suggest you try the sanding and polishing approach first. If heat damaged the serialized frame, which defines this as a firearm, it would be, at least, very expensive to replace it. If you check the Kahr website, you will not see frames for sale. Good luck.
