  • Curious about the trigger?? I own both a p238, p938, shield 9mm, and glock 42. I bought a S&W bodyguard 380 and was very displeased with the trigger promptly sold it. Haven’t found a Kahr at any local range to try and was wondering how the trigger compares to a Ruger 380 LCP 2, p238, shield, and glock 42. I’m looking for a true pocket 9mm to match with my P365 but I’m nervous about he reviews describing a “long trigger”.

  • Michael, Very long and heavy trigger pull. Pull goes all the way to the frame. My gauge won't pull it. Got to be over 10lb pull. All the firearms you mentioned have better triggers.

  • Anytime you have a situation where the energy required to perform a function .. i.e. to move a firing pin at a sufficient velocity to set off a primer ... that is forced to take place in a smaller more confined space than is usual (i.e. a normal size pistol) the dynamics are such that more force will be required to be introduced into the mechanism to generate the energy necessary to perform the function, due to the amount of leverage that can be applied in the shorter space. There now .. understand? Me either, but it is just a fact of life that all these small pocket-rocket pistols are going to have .. not-so-smooth triggers. The bigger the pistols get, the smoother the trigger action can be. Plus .. you get what you pay for. All the pistols you named cost more than the Ruger, or the S&W bodyguard. The Shield is larger. And the Glock trigger is not all-too-great either. I have no experience with the Kahr, but I can believe it has a long, somewhat gritty, uneven trigger .. just due to the size. We aren't doing a lot of bullseye competitions with any of these guns. They're designed to be life savers. I'm thinking I can tolerate some trigger 'issues' as long as the pistol goes bang every time I pull the trigger. I'll get a full size 1911 if I want a 'crisp, glass break trigger' for range duty. Meanwhile I'll fire a few from my 'pocket rocket' every so often on the range to make sure it remains in reliable working order ... and not worry about the trigger.
