Darn, I'm hoping so as I'm getting more confused as this goes along.
I was of the opinion that there are three Kahr triggers:
* please note that the following measurements are from the web, I didn't do any measuring myself
1.
Enhanced: 1/4" length of pull with 7.5lb. pull weight

2.
Standard: 3/8" length of pull with 7.5lb. pull weight.
3.
NYPD: 1/2" length of pull with 7.5lb. pull weight (see note below in regards to length of pull)

*Note: I've not seen this on a document from Kahr, but it seems universally accepted on the web and seems reasonable considering the following:
http://www.kahr.com//upgrades-and-service/kahr-k9-trigger-upgrade-cs-item.asp
"K9 Trigger Upgrade (CS ITEM)
The trigger upgrade for the K9 (NYPD) pistol includes the installation of a standard trigger system performed by a factory technician. The standard trigger shortens trigger pull. Firearm will be tested for functionality. All parts are included in price. This is for the K9 (NYPD) Series Only. Please ship the firearm overnight to the factory and include a copy of your order."
As to the
Elite trigger: I've been under the impression that this was just an interchangeable term for the "Standard" trigger, maybe even a marketing ploy (I've no evidence of that).
However, after reading jg rider's posts, I wonder if there might actually be an "Elite" trigger.
I used to just brush over this, assuming it was just the NYPD trigger upgrade:
http://www.kahr.com/custom-shop.asp
"K9 Elite Trigger Upgrade
The Elite trigger upgrade for the K9 pistol includes the installation of an Elite trigger system performed by a factory technician. The Elite trigger shortens trigger pull. The Elite trigger system includes a highly polished trigger. Firearm will be tested for functionality. All parts are included in price. Not available in some states and cities.
$125.00 (includes cost of parts) + S&H ($25.00)"
Perhaps, it is something entirely different.
As to differences in feel of triggers of the same type:
There have been changes to certain components over the years that might account for this.

BTW, jg rider thanks for taking all those measurements......and the headache
