Kahr Mods and Accessories. Post your modifications.

I put the Wolff 5-lb striker springs in all of my Kahrs, and a 1.75" bike tube grip cover on all of my polymer Kahrs. I have night sights on all of my Kahrs and put metal base plates... the black ones where available... on those that I could... 9mm and .40. I wish I could do that for my PM45.

I also made sure that the "stripper" part of the slide was beveled... very important on the .45's, and that the front receptacle on the slide for the recoil assembly had a "notch" if needed. The .380 doesn't seem to need the nothch, but I added one to my K9 because there was evidence of the recoil spring battering the un-notched area. This can affect timing and cause malfunctions as the barrel tilts during recoil.

The P40 I bought off the Marketplace was Mag-na-ported and I added the 4" ported barrel to my P9 because those were on sale at the time and I was trying to set the P9 up for my wife. She couldn't rack it, though.

P9 & PM9:



O-ring added to prevent bites on P40(especially) and the P9, because of the gap between the base and the grip.

Other than that, mine are pretty "stock".

just got my cw45 a week ago, it came with trijicon night sights. I'm adding a model 18000 hogue grip this weekend. I do like the polished barrel on the other pics. hmmm.

After by breakin of my CW45 I did a full breakdown of the slide and polished the inside of the slide guide rails, breach face, extractor, striker, striker channel, barrel, and guide rod. It's so smooth now you can ride the slide forward and load a round. Did polish the sides of the slide a bit for cosmetic purposes too.

I added Big Dot night sights to my Mag-na-ported P40 and couldn't stand the Low Vee rear NS, so I got a set of Trijicon NS on our Marketplace and put the 2-Dot rear on the P40 and the newer FS on the P9.

It took quite a few trips to the range, but I can work with the P40's combo NS now. I was trying to replicate the Trijicon HD NS. The sights aren't a good match and for aiming I nestle the Big Dot in the rear notch with the outer edge just kissing the inside upper of the rear notches... then cover the target. This works for me out to 10 yards and I can't shoot well beyond that with great sights and a rest, anyhow... "old eyes" and poor trigger control.





This has become my favorite carry. The sight combo isn't perfect, but it approximates the Trijicon HD NS that I would prefer to have. I have those on several other pistols... Orange FS on my G23C, for one, and Yellow FS on my G21 SF.
