Just for fun, I looked up a few of the Kahr patents as listed in their operating manual for the PM9. If you're interested in technical detail, these are a hoot. And the drawings are nicely reproduced.
You can see these with the least amount of adjustment to your computer by going through Google Patents:

The link for the "inertia striker assembly including a striker and a U-shaped spacer straddling the striker" (Pat. 5412894) is:

Keep in mind that the drawings and descriptions do NOT describe CURRENT production details. They are descriptions of concepts, and you can get some idea of the purpose behind the design details.
Enjoy!
