Aaah, so the K40 ships with a 3/8in trigger? THAT would explain why I thought my K9 longer when I was handling a K40.

Although my reply is many months after the original post I'm still gonna give you my .02 worth for any new readers to this matter. I have an original K9 (1995) and even though I had always liked the gun I was never really in love with it. Three reasons: I couldn't stand the trigger, its finish was horrible and the slide was terribly stiff. After many years of it being an also ran in my collection I finally decided to do something about it. I did a little research and here is what I found. Kahr changed to a 20 lb. recoil spring so I ordered one up from Wolff along with the 5 lb. striker spring. Nice improvement to racking the slide but the trigger still wasn't there yet. Sent the gun to Robar and had them put in an elite trigger and do a trigger job, refinished the gun with Rogard on the frame, everything else in NP3. They also bullnosed the front of the slide, dehorned, polished the chamber & feed ramp, throated the barrel, rounded the trigger face a bit, beveled the mag opening. Now the difference is WOW. Night and day. This gun went from ok to about as good as a Kahr can get. Everyone that has seen it and shot it just absolutely drools over it. Me included. Money well spent. When we started the project I told them do the trigger work 1st & if it didn't turn out really sweet to cancel the rest of the mods. I can assure you the trigger is the most awesome part of everything they did. So does that 1/8" less pull make a difference? To me, along with a good smithing, YES. I cannot say enough about the professionalism of the people @ Robar Guns. Robbie Barrkman and his crew are really top notch in the industry. I could not be happier ...
