I've shot both, own the Kahr CW45.

Per your request:
Trigger- different from each other, but both OK for what they are. If you're used to shooting an auto, the Springfield will feel best. If you've been shooting revolvers, the Kahr.

Accuracy-Both good. Better than 99% of us can actually shoot, I'm betting.

Feel- Completely subjective. I own the Kahr because it "felt" best to me. If a gun feels right, you can work around everything else.

Comfort- Compared to a warm bowl of soup on a cold day, no, neither. Touching off a round from a polymer framed .45 is not what I call "comfortable". Fun, maybe, but not comfortable.

Reliability- Again, a draw. But in this modern age of computerized design and manufacturing, find a real lemon of any brand is getting more and more rare.

So, what it boils down to is........you. And you know deep down which one you want, so go get it already.
