I have long owned - and absolutely loved - a Kahr K4044. This is an all stainless steel, DAO, sticker fired, 3.5 inch Walther-Lothar match-grade polygonal barrel, with a 6+1 .40 S&W capacity and 7 round magazines additionally available. It is a superb firearm, VERY concealable (one inch width), very durable, totally reliable, extremely accurate and with a longer (about 6 pound trigger) pull - BUT it is UNBELIEVABLY smooth due to Kahr’s patterned cam action striker system. I am NOT endorsing Kahr’s autoloaders across the board, but I am highly recommending their K series semiautomatics. These were the first firearms Kahr designed and marketed, and the are absolute jewels of engineering and quality. My K4044 is my daily IWB weapon . . . I very much like it’s incredibly solid and fine construction, it’s accuracy, its reduced muzzle flip, its easy concealment, its long but incredibly smooth trigger pull, the extra muzzle velocity and energy it obtains from ~0.5 inch longer barrel, and the .40 S&W round’s greater efficacy. My Kahr K4044 feels VRRY much like a finely tuned S&W K, L or N Frame revolver fired only in double action. There considerable trigger travel, BUT it is very smooth, with no staging or grittiness, with a pull weight of approximately six pounds, and a crisp break. All this results from Kahr’s unique and patterned cam/striker system

P9 & P380, they work !! Chris is correct about the trigger on the Kahr pistols, that they are most similar to that of a double action revolver. (A quality one none the less). When you pull the Kahr's trigger it has about the same draw resistance all the way through and including when the striker does it's release. The point of release is sort of blind in that you don't compress to a wall and the feel the point that it will break and fire, you just pull through and it goes. Indeed it is different, but is reasonably predictable when you have shot a couple boxes of practice ammo. Having done this, I find that I like it. It is easy to like the Kahr trigger's performance. Chris is also correct in his effort to find an acceptable manner to safely holster a carry gun. Kahr does offer pistol models that have manual safeties. Employing a safety when holstering is one method to keep from having an accidental discharge. Safeties must however be acceptable to the individual user, they all have different mounting positions which must be manipulated to disengage before firing and not all are easily reached by different sized hands or different gripping positions so it's kind of mandatory to figure that out before you buy a handgun, as true for all weapons that have manual safeties.

When a hammer, or pin, is cocked (entirely, mostly, or partially) and then released, it’s double action. Glocks and Khars are double action only, doesn’t matter what anyone says. You see the pins move backwards (cocking/action 1) prior to being released (action 2). There is no more to it than that.

I have two, a CW380 and a CM9, depends on what clothes Im wearing which I carry. They both work flawlessly when shooting but have a glitch that is very irritating. When dry fired, the firing pin sticks in the partially forward position most of the time. I check for this by peering down the grip with the mag out and if I see that the pin is forward I push it back with a pen. Other than that they are great but because I carry them with an empty chamber its mission critical to make sure that pin is in the right place, or else when trying to chamber a round it stops the round going up the feed ramp properly. I even disassembled the slide down to the pin and little spring and cleaned the heck out of it... made no difference.

The way I see it, it is relatively simple: - there are two main types of action: single and double. And some, like Glock, mix the two, creating a third one which is the mixed. So we have a) single; b) double; c) mixed - there are two types of percussion: 1) hammer; and 2) striker. - those two can be mixed in any way. So we have six possible configurations (a1, a2, b1, b2, c1, c2). Even if I don't know any (c2) gun, it is possible anyways. The Taurus G2c, for instance, uses a striker BUT is actually single action. With the differential that it can work in double action if the striker isn't "cocked". Walther had until recently a pistol which had a striker, but was DA/SA... It even had a decocker for the striker pin.

There are some auto pistols that barely function. In my opinion 1911s fall into this category, as do a lot of compact pistols. I’ve got a CW9 that functions no matter what you do to it. Dirty, cold-soaked, wet, dry, junk ammo, limpwristing, whatever. Kind of like a Makarov. That’s worth more to me than an unproven pistol with an extra 4 rounds in the mag. Maybe some day I’ll find a better carry pistol, but I’m pretty happy with it. One hassle with the Kahr is that if I pocket a magazine, it will unload itself over a few hours. I make a kydex pocket pouch that holds two mags, and solves this problem.

Pure semantics. Double-Action anything simply requires the pulling of the trigger to both "Cock" and "Fire" the gun again and again. As is the case with Double-Action Revolvers and Striker fired guns. A Double to Single action you are describing can be fired in either mode by pulling the trigger in double-action, or manually cocking the hammer to Single-Action in order to first round. All rounds there after will be Single-Action fired until the gun is De-cocked, or the hammer manually lowered to the safe position.
@845835

Always felt that single and double action have been used improperly. For me the fact that the hammer has to first be cocked and then the trigger pulled for a gun to fire is not by definition a single action. To simply pull a trigger without having to cock a weapon first is single.

I love the longish pull on my Kahr CW9. It’s not that long and not heavy at all. Just a short, smoother than a revolver, pull made better with a Wolff reduced power striker spring. Not a true DA but a safe gun for concealed IWB carry.

I've owned three Kahr pistols - two K9s and a T9 Elite. I sold one of the K9s to a son and still have the other two. They've been my daily carry pieces for almost 20 years now (the K9). The T9 Elite frequently goes with me when I don't need the smaller size of the K9, however, as the T9 is a little easier to shoot. They're both fantastic tools and don't preach to me about the weight. A good belt and holster and they're very comfy to carry. Both my Kahrs have amazing, smooth triggers. I can't recommend them highly enough.

watched a couple dozen vids on kahr especially the cw45 cause i'm gonna get one. here is my take on them! out of the box rack it and hold the action open with the slide release and leave it like this for 3 days. field strip it inspect ,clean and lube per specs. NEVER rack a round in the chamber you MUST use the slide release to do this. use only fmj ammo run 3-4 hundred rounds to break it in. nobody has said this but you must carry it with a round in the chamber! why! because you CAN'T rack one into the chamber!! like with most semi autos.

Also, If you can’t shoot a gun at the range in front of your buddies, what makes you think you could use it under real pressure?

I have a CM9, it IMO, is the easiest micro 9 to shoot I’ve ever tried out. The longer heavier pull is more comforting for IWB carry. smooth and light DA pull is where it’s at, for unusually small pistol. The pistol is so tiny and light weight, it’s easier to carry than a belt clip tape rule, it absolutely disappears inside the waist band. Put it on and forget about it. The very limited capacity is it’s only drawback, IMO.

Chris is one of my favorites. Like minds think alike. I am a big fan of Pocket Pistols and Micro 9mm's. Own many and shoot weekly. I own some striker fired Pistols, Sig 365, Hellcat etc. But my favorite is the DAO STRIKER FIRED Kahr and the Beretta Nano and APX CARRY. My gosh these are great triggers. I love revolvers, but as Chris said that is a topic for another discussion. The Kahr and Nano/Carry are great! Smooth, CONTROLLED, DELIBERATE all the way through. A great asset. The Nano is the mildest shooting of all. I will NOT carry the Sig 365 or other similar guns like the Ruger series now made. Chris is one of the most honest. The NEWBIE listens to all the muck about light triggers and short resets and believe the lightest and less travel is what a competition shooter uses so that want to be the Pro. EDC is not the same. Another great education by Chris. By the way. I love Pocket guns and he was right on the money about which guns should not be for a beginner. I have shot so many thousands of rounds out of a Pico, Kahr ETC, but would not recommend them for the typical Newbie or those that refuse to train often.

I think the biggest unique attribute of a double-action gun is the re-strike capability. A true double-action will enable dry firing repeatedly without racking the slide. The part that Kahr is missing to be a true double-action is re-strike capability without cycling the slide. That could be done on a striker-fired handgun, but I’m not aware of any.

My dad, a friend, and I all own P380s. We all bought them because we are limited to California approved guns, and these are our smallest option. They shoot very good and accurate when they actually work. All three of us have had problems with them, and all three of us had to send them back for work. They have jammed in every way you can think of, from failure to feed, failure to extract, stovepipes etc. Khar wouldn’t even except them back for warranty work until they were “ broken in” with at least 500rds. This was very difficult to achieve because they would jamb every 3-5rds, and this was Obama era when 380 ammo was over a buck a round. Total disappointment for a gun that was like $600 and this was not exceptable. They seem to work now, but we don’t carry them because there is no trust in them after such a horrible experience with them in the beginning.

Glock and (almost) all striker fired guns are single action, regardless of trigger weight. The action must be cycled in order for (almost) all striker fired guns to strike the firing pin again, therefore they are single action only. The two actions in double action trigger are: 1. Firing 2. Cocking All triggers fire, but only double action triggers recock. It is totally irrelevant how far back the striker is, how much further the trigger pulls it back, or how much the trigger weighs when talking about double vs single action. If the trigger cannot repeatedly recock without cycling then it is single action.
@bernardscheidle5679
3 жыл бұрын
Does this mean DA on a semi auto is when the trigger pull is the only thing cocking the hammer or cocking the striker? Does this mean all striker pistols are single action only? So as you said, all strikers have to be cycled to be re-cocked. So a striker pistol has have the slide pulled back to load the chamber, cock the striker, and carry it with a loaded chamber, a firing pin striker under some level of spring tension, and the only safety is some kind of striker blocking device, manual safety, and an extra bit of trigger pull?? Sounds like sitting in a nuclear missile silo with the missile cocked and ready to fire.

@@bernardscheidle5679 Yes to all three questions. There are a couple of rare examples of striker fired guns that can be recocked without cycling. The additional trigger weight and trigger pull length of striker fired guns are generally considered a safe-enough alternative to either a manual safety or a double action trigger. My personal opinion is that the correct holster is a key part to carrying a manual-safety-less striker fired safely. Adequate holster retention and coverage are just as important as the gun in this instance.

I was the yahoo that bring up Kahr on the other video. The reason I brought it up is that the question you were answering included a comment about how they loved DA revolvers. The Kahr is indeed technically a single action striker fired pistol (really more of a 1.5 action since racking the slide partially cocks the striker and the trigger pull finishes cocking it before firing). But the trigger on the Kahr is the most "DA revolver" like of any pistol out there and that's why I recommended it. Had the questioner said they were looking for a hammer fired DAO or DA/SA gun, I wouldn't have brought up the Kahr.

Yeah, there were well over 100 comments about the Kahr in the last video. The Kahr does feel kind of DA revolver-like when you shoot it. When measured with a trigger pull gauge, the weight is the same a Glock -- about 6 pounds. Most J-frames and LCRs come in around 10-12 pounds. The length of travel is about half to 2/3 of a DAO revolver. Whether that's sufficiently safe is up to you, but there is a significant difference between a Kahr and a DAO revolver trigger, despite how they may feel.
