Yes, they have nice smooth triggers. I currently own and carry Glocks. I sold all the Kahrs, and like I said, still own two 1911s. Yeah, the Glock stock triggers are neither as crisp as the 1911's, nor as smooth as the Kahr's........neither of which keep me from shooting the Glock's just fine — in fact, pretty much about as well as I shot 1911s or Kahrs. I wouldn't feel a pea under my mattress either, ladies. My Glocks are not target guns, they are fighting handguns, capable of acceptable combat accuracy if I do my part. I have no particular difficulty doing my part.....within the limits of my visual acuity. Certainly, it is OK to love and carry 1911s. Certainly it is OK to love and carry Kahrs. And I am not trying to promote Glocks over the other two platforms. But good shooting comes from repetition and practice with whatever platform you're carrying, and choosing a given platform over the others isn't in and of itself going to make you a better shooter. Practice and repetition does that.
I have seen people with the most expensive guns, with tons of customization, designed to make the trigger/action/recoil/reliability, top notch, not be able to hit the broad side of a barn, and still blame the gun. I have seen some of the cheapest, poorly made guns with terrible triggers, finishes, and sights, shoot single holes in paper, because the operators practiced enough to know all of the issues, and worked to overcome them.
