I'm thinking of trading my CW40 for an M&P Shield 40

I find dry fire practice and even range shooting with a laser sight helps tremendously with mastering trigger control, the laser really lets you know how you are moving the gun throughout your trigger pull, you just concentrate on keeping the the dot motionless and the anticipation of the recoil fades away.
you would be very surprised how much the gun shakes around when firing. this also makes it much easier to identify at exactly what point during your pull you veer off target.
its not a cheap investment since the kahrs don't have a rail system, but keeping that easy to see dot as still as possible helps with developing muscle memory a great deal.
you also save ammo by mastering the trigger at home on a white wall. even practice hip firing with it, the added safety of being in your home and no risk of injury helps.
I even did dry fire practice after falling, (on the bed of course, my back isn't what it used to be ahahah)
and after you can keep that dot still got to the range and turn it off and you will be amazed how much your accuracy has improved.

Well, folks, I shot the CW40 better today. Still not great, but well enough to think that I may eventually conquer the trigger. I will keep trying. I also shot a Ruger 1911 and a Glock 30. First time shooting a 1911 of any brand, and holy moly! I shot fist sized groups at 15 feet, which is great for me. Anyway, I will keep trying with the CW40, and shoot some more 45s.

Yeah, my best sight shooting has been done with full sized 1911's. Combination of the trigger, sight radius and weight of the gun I suspect. However I've yet to own one.

"with the exception being a model 41 rimfire."

Finest 22 auto ever made in my book. Wouldn't part with mine for anything.

I have wanted a model 41 since I was a kid.

The simple answer (as indicated in other responses) is not to get a .40 Shield. Get a 9mm in the Kahr or the Shield. Why anyone would want a .40 in such a small pistol is beyond me. See this recent thread: http://www.kahrtalk.com/showthread.php?25859-Why-40

after 600 rounds I'd probably dump it as well.... then again many years ago when I bought my first Glock I had that very problem, low left anticipation and jerking the trigger... I had mostly shot SA triggers, sig etc.... the Glock was a whole new animal to me, there is a chart/target somewhere on the net that explains what you should work on when you hit the outer area of the bullseye... I'm sure you could google it if interested in downloading it... It helped me a little I think and it also took my around 300 rounds and a lot of dryfiring to get used to the trigger..... because I shoot Glocks more than any other gun I own I naturally shoot them the best and its because of the same trigger, all the time from gun to gun.....

good luck.....
