    This is a great point, and something I've been contemplating lately as a I've been shooting a variety pistols.

    My MK9 reminded me what I liked about smooth, long trigger pulls (what too many shooters refer to as "mushy"). Maybe because I learned to shoot with revolvers, and later carried DAO Sigs and Beretta for years, I learned to focus on that front sight and just pull through the trigger stroke. To me, that "breaking glass" striker wall is counterintuitive, and makes me tend to anticipate my shots.

    My MK9 lead me to try the H&K LEM trigger, which quickly became my favorite "bigger gun" trigger system (I now own both a P200sk and P30 in that set-up). And, of course, I have the P380 for light clothing days. The added benefit, of course, is that these somewhat longer triggers afford an additional layer of safety.

    p.s. Good shooting!!!

    I shoot the Kahr trigger for accuracy better than any other, except for my 686. I like the staginess of the trigger----smooth uptake to the wall, then I exhale half my breath, steady, then a crisp break. I also shoot Glocks and they're great for shooting rapidly but the triggers on mine aren't great in any way. Mushy crunchy pull, crisp break, but an excellent reset. It sucks that I will have to spend even more money to improve the trigger when my MK9 is perfect out of the box.

    p.s. Thanks. Sometimes the rounds go where I want them to.
