Update on "CW45 Trigger Issue"

[chuck pullen]

Yesterday I posted about a trigger issue on my new to me CW45. In a nutshell, it had a noticeable delay at the end of the trigger stroke before the striker released.

Well, I followed advice on here and other boards and lubed it really good and put 50 rounds of hardball through it. (That stuff's expensive at $25). Well, it made a big difference. The trigger is crisper and the striker releases sooner and without any perceptible delay.

Also, all 50 rounds fed flawlessly.

I can't explain the improvement-too technical for me. I am happy about it and appreciate the good advice. I suspect after the remaining 150 rounds of the break-in period I'll have nothing but praise for this pistol.

Thanks again.

I had a CW9 that did the same thing. On mine the trigger was bottoming out. Kahr fixed it. I never trusted it after that and sold it.

I have a CW45 and a CW9. They have very nice dao triggers. I also had a CM9 that had the same trigger. There are very specific directions on the Kahrtalk forum about cleaning and lubing new Kahr pistols. One of the suggestions is to clean the striker channel. Very easily done by spraying cleaner into the little hole on top of the striker assembly. I can't remember if these directions are in the manual or not.
