I'm thinking about the P 11 in 9mm for a carry gun,I went shooting today and tried my friends,It was O.K. However the trigger is so long and hard I found myself jerking the thing to make it fire,It also tossed brass all over the place,not like my other Auto's that tend to pile it up in the same area. My jerking is the proable cause,Can the trigger pull be lightened and shortened? This would enhance the pistol and make it accurate beyond the end of your arm. :roll eyes:

Coolray, any trigger can be improved. But when it comes to shortening the pull on a DA that's a function of the design and usually very difficult to change. George

Don't abandon the idea just yet. Older KT's had heavier trigger pulls than newer versions. Of the two I own, one is recent and the other is from a few years ago. They are quite different in feel and weight. Check out www.ktog.org for more information.

When I first goy my P-11, I thought the trigger was long and heavy too. It still is, but I have put in many hours at the range and now I love it. I put the belt clip on it and it rides on my belt whenever I leave home. Very good gun for the money.
