Kahr Polymer Frame Disassembly (Tutorial)

mine

I have an older P45 that is this same way.

is the same just lately they have went to a torx screw. I personally like the pin better. I can't say enough to not take that side plate off, especially to think your gonna polish the trigger bar and make it better. Rounds will do the same thing, you can oil or grease where that spring rides on the trigger bar from above even. Not saying someone didn't get a gritty trigger bar, indeed they might have but 99% are smooth as glass and the other 1% will smooth itself out with rounds down range. That side plate has to be tight against the frame of the gun. Many guns are out of time due to a bad trigger bar or a defective side plate that is loose. If at all possable leave it alone. It's your gun, so do as you please. I am merely trying to advise.

If u just gotta take that plate off, a very small punch the size of that pin on the left side of the gun and a slight tap and the pin will back out. It is reueable..

Plus 1 for AEnemaBay. Come back to the forum. Please! If someone didn't re-invent the wheel, we would still be travelling in ox carts, with wooden wheels.

Sorry for resurrecting this very old thread, but I'm stumped and need someones help.
I've got to step #7, but cannot get the trigger, spacer, trigger spring, nor the trigger bar out of the frame.. They loosened up pretty good when I took the trigger pin out, just cannot separate them.
I got a gritty trigger bar in my pm9 that hasn't changed in over 1000 rounds, and I can't stand it now that I've felt how smooth they are on other kahrs. Call me picky, but I NEED to polish her up. Any tips? This is the only how to video that I cannot find on youtube, haha.

Edit: well I did finally get the trigger group out and the trigger bar had some rough looking machining marks where the trigger bar spring rides.. I took some really fine sand paper to it and then some flitz, now the spring rides super smoothly on that trigger bar. I think it will be as smooth as my T9, IF I can get it back together..

I'm not sorry for resurrecting this very old thread..

I'd also like to thank AEnemaBay for posting this thread.

I recently bought a CM9 and sent the slide, slide back plate, slide stop, and trigger to Springer Precision to have them refinished in Ionbond.
I wanted the pistol black.

This thread helped me remove the trigger so I could just mail in the parts rather than having to pay shipping for the entire pistol.

And this link, provided by gb6491, helped me put it back together

I've seen this before but can't remember where. In the future I know I would like to have access to it again as I consider the break down information would be VERY helpful. I've searched in the Sticky area and didn't see it. Would I be out of line to suggest it be worthwhile to make a sticky out of the lower disassemby/assembly?
Sorry if I overlooked the Sticky search.

Thanks PM9OWNER for bringing this thread back up. I needed it too to help a friend with a gritty trigger. And thanks AEnemaBay for such nice photos and notes. That took some work.

This is a great thread not sure why someone would bash a person for putting out information that could help someone I thought that is the reason this forum is here. Anyway thanks AEnemabay for this great thread. My trigger bar was terribly gritty and the trigger felt like a ratchet and its now silky smooth!!!!!
