Looks like it's been a while since the last post but I will put in my two cents anyway. I am very fond of my Kahr's (CT45, CW40, K40 and P380) and I carry the CW40 daily with the P380 as a backup. Also love my M&P40 and my M&P45c to a lesser degree. Did own a 9mm Shield for a short time. Traded it as I don't like thumb safeties. Today I stumbled onto a new Shield in 40 cal with no thumb safety priced at $399.99 at my local pawn shop. I'm considering it but even if I do purchase it none of my Kahr's will go. Not going to break up the family. Have the triggers improved? Seems like I read that somewhere.
