Kahr's do have nice triggers, but the economy CW9 only comes with one mag, while the Shield comes with 2. The Shield has a thumb safety (which I prfer). S&W has much better service than Kahr does, and the "200 round break in" policy of Kahr's always annoyed me. The gun should be reliable right from the box, not after spending $60 in practice ammo.

And I don't get the "Sheild trigger needs $92 in parts to make a great trigger" thing. First of all, the Shield is a personal protection piece, not a target gun. You think you're gonna notice any difference if you ever have to use the gun? I think the Shield has a sweet trigger. at 15 yards, I put all the rounds into a group the size of my palm.
