Black polymer frame, matte stainless slide with external safety & Loaded Chamber Indicator (LCI)
Loaded Chamber Indicator
This model is designed to provide
physical indication if there is a bullet loaded in the chamber. The
product is designed with a lever mounted on the top of the slide. The
lever is marked as Indicator in red lettering. When a bullet is
chambered it pushes the lever upward and out of position. The operator
will visually see the lever as it is raised up. Also the operator will
be able to feel the indicator as being out of its normal resting
position as it will not be flush with the top of the slide, thus warning
the operator that the firearm is loaded.
Enhanced Trigger
Kahr’s new enhanced trigger will be
featured on Kahr models with external safeties and loaded chamber
indicators. The enhanced trigger has a shorter length of pull compared
to the Kahr standard trigger. The new enhanced trigger has a 1/4” length
of pull with an approximate 7.5 lb. trigger pull weight compared to a
3/8” length of pull for the standard trigger. The trigger pull weight
for the enhanced trigger is the same as the standard trigger,
approximately 7.5 lb.
External Safety
This model has, in addition to the
internal safety, an external safety that will prevent the firearm from
firing when the safety is in the safe position. The product has an
external lever with two settings. When the lever is pushed completely up
and the red dot is fully visible, the firearm is in the armed position
and ready to fire with the pull of the trigger. When the lever is pushed
down, and the red dot is hidden the firearm is in the safe position and
will not function with the pull of the trigger. The safety works in the
following manner. When the lever is in the down (Safe) position the
connecting cam on the lever pushes the trigger bar out of position,
disconnecting it from the cocking cam. If the trigger is pulled in the
safe mode, the cocking cam will not release the striker and the firearm
will not fire. When the lever is pushed up (Fire/Armed position) the cam
moves out of place and the trigger bar moves up, again connecting with
the cocking cam. The firearm is then ready to fire with the pull of the
trigger.
