    Thank you!

    Trigger Update:
    The trigger seems to be different than my P380 and my CT9. The difference vs the CT9 is not apparent while dry-firing. But it is while shooting. The trigger is smoother, which didn’t surprise me based on other comments I’ve read, but it breaks earlier than the others. Definitely earlier than I expected. It seems to fire a full 1/16” earlier, and doesn’t travel as close to the frame at the rear of its travel as my other Kahrs. It also seems lighter. Again, it’s not really noticeable during dry-firing, but it becomes noticeable while firing live ammo. My estimate is about 15% lighter. I don’t have a trigger pull gauge, so I may ask a gunsmith to compare to my other Kahrs this weekend, when I have night sights installed on my wife’s newest acquisition (an M&P Bodyguard 380).

    After visiting the Wolff website, I now wonder if the previous owner installed the lighter Wolff striker spring. Does anyone have experience with the lighter Wolff striker springs, and the effects that they cause?

    Regardless, the bottom line is that I agree ... the gun is a keeper!

    I put the Wolff 5lb striker spring in my PM45. The stock spring was just a bit over 5 so it didn't make a tremendous difference.
    I always meant to measure it again after shooting it some to see if it reduced a bit after being worked a bit but never got around tuit.

    Could have just got a decent spring to begin with or as you say maybe the previous owner put one in?

    Thanks, Bawanna!

    Either way, it is very decent!

    Default New grips & screws make a huge difference!

    It’s time for an update...

    I bought a set of black & gray G10 grips at Lakeline LLC, and then found a set of grip screws that I thought complemented the grips well.

    I have attached “before” and “after” pics.

    I love the grips, but the stock screws did not “blow my skirt up”, as Bawanna would say.

    I installed the new grip screws and grip screw o-rings, and, well, my skirt blew right up.

    Depending on the light, the grips can look more gray or more black. The new screws are not shiny at all, so any silver you see on them is just the reflection of camera flash.

    Nice, perfect match for those grips, blend nicely. Consider my skirt blowed up!
    Only thing is, always keep a bit handy that fits those screws.

    As Bawanna says, those screws are a "perfect match for those grips".
    Well done and a nice looking gun
