Dang, that's not good. How did you go about removing the burrs?
I worry that I wasn't specific enough about that. Here's hoping you only took material from the side of the disconnector.

Well, I thought about that more and figure if you removed material from the top that would be more likely to make the trigger not disconnect.
Still, I did look at your photos again and noticed that your disconnector doesn't seem to come up as far as it does on my poly Kahrs.
Putting damage/excessive wear to the trigger bar aside for the moment, possible causes for this could be debris/dirt/etc under the side plate, bowed side plate, dislodged trigger bar spring, broken/weak trigger bar spring. Let me hunt down my T5 driver and I'll pull a side plate to illustrate.
While I'm at that, as you mention pressing down the slide helps, here's a shot of the striker lobe on my CM9 that you might compare to your gun:

I used a small Dremel (very lightly.) Tried to not take much material off more or less just tried to get rid of the bur that was there. I removed the side panel and thoroughly cleaned out around the trigger bar and around the cam. So I’m thinking there’s probably an under lying problem with the trigger assembly.
One question for you though, the steel rail on the left side of the striker lobe is that fixed to the polymer? I noticed while cleaning after the range that the front of that doesn’t seem to be connected to the polymer if that makes sense. Takes little to no pressure to move that rail not sure if it’s normal or not. This is my first Kahr.
Looks to me like your pointing to the ejector, that's not a rail. And a little movement is ok.

Thanks for the detailed reply. As you had the side plate off, did the trigger bar look like it was engaging the cam properly? Did the trigger bar spring have adequate tension? Check the spring's clearance in regards to the magazine. Try the action to see if the spring is hanging up anywhere on the trigger bar.
The part in your photo that your tool is touching is the ejector. It's a separate piece that sits in the frame. It is held in place cocking cam and the cocking cam pivot pin. It will have some movement.

Oops, I see Bawanna has given you good info as I was typing and eating, eating and typing.
I’m not an expert by any means but to me it all seems to be moving properly and smoothly. Which I know makes no sense. So here’s some pictures just to compare to yours Greg. Seems to all match up but maybe I’ve missed something.
I just can not get the cocking cam to pickup the firing pin unless pressing down on the slide. If I release the trigger and rack it, it’s fine. But under a normal firing order with the trigger pulled it just doesn’t grab the firing pin.
Thanks Bawanna. Had a total brain fart. I should’ve known what that was. LOL
I think we both were posting at the same time.
It appears to me that your trigger bar is slightly lower than mine. How does it's interface with the cam compare to that in my photos?
