After a pretty thorough search & eval I purchased a Kahr CM9 for concealed carry. So far I've made one trip to the range. All went well, but I realized I'm probably not shooting it right.
I'm pretty much a collector. Handgun-wise the only non-1911 type or non-Colt DA revolver I own is a Beretta 92FS. I typically only shoot the revolvers single action. Prior to having kids I spent several years (I'm a pretty old Dad) reloading & shooting. In that context, I got to the point of being able to shoot pretty well.
I've occasionally shot friends striker-fired & DAO pistols, but certainly not routinely. The Kahr is striker-fired, but the trigger is more light DAO. I was staging the trigger (to the extent you can) and while i was accurate enough, I don't think that's the right way to do it. I keep a later Police Positive for HD and (some time ago) shot DA enough to gain a bit of proficiency.
I (think) I've read/ heard you're just supposed to "pull through" the trigger stroke in one, consistent motion. This seems to make more sense & is likely closer to how the weapon would be fired in self-defense. Much the same reason I practiced DA with the PP, and why I've advocated the same to the wife.
I guess I'd like some feedback that this is correct or guidance on the "correct" approach.
Thanks...Funnel
