    Thanks for the replies! From what I was reading and from what you guys have said it sounds like at most I will have to do a little dremel work on the back side of the grips. The only reason I was wondering was if it had to do with a thickness thing. Meaning if the metal frame was thicker then the wood grips would not reach all the way around the back.

    On the trigger, it sounds like it's much ado about nothing since, from what I understand, even if it wasn't an elite trigger I'd simply be looking at a longer pull with the same smoothness and weight. Which the long smooth DA style pull is the whole reason I like Kahr and have now bought 3 in 3 months for CCW. I feel safer when my wife carries a Kahr over either a SA striker with or without a safety to make things simple but safe during a high stress situation.

    It also doesn't hurt that I shoot them EXTREMELY well. LOL! More than likely there will be a T9 and a K9 in my future.

    Grips cut for the frame on the right will need to have material removed at the top screw hole for them to work on the older style frame. Some grips have enough thickness for this to be successfully done. Others will be too thin and there will not be enough material left to support the screw's function.
