Grips: I'll figure it out myself, but are Talons necessary from those who have/don't have them?
MAGAZINES: I read that most 1911 mags will fit the CW45. True? I've got a bunch. Also that both CW45 and P45 mags fit. I'll assume the best advice is to buy the less expensive of the two. And somewhere I read that ProMags work fine. Normally I'd stay away from them, but is this the exception? Going rate for CW45 mag (at least from one online store I googled is $48ish, is that right? (Clearly I'll shop around.)
Springs: I'll replace the recoil spring just because. Any others that ought to replaced on a used Kahr? And is there a "secret" striker spring replacement trick that will lessen the trigger pull, like using a Glock 6 lb. striker spring on a Walther or SW 99 to decrease the DA pull. (Not that I'll do that without running a bunch of bullets through the gun first.)
Guide Rod: Anyone use/prefer stainless steel guide rod offered on Kahr site instead of the original?
What am I missing?
