I have both a Kahr PM9 and a M&P 9C. The Kahr has a long and very smooth revolver feel to the trigger, approximately 7lbs. There is no trigger reset to speak of. Several magazines have called it the smoothest revolver type trigger in the business, if you want a safer revolver type trigger.
That being said, the M&P trigger when new has a gritty feel but does smooth out after 200-300 rounds. My stock M&P trigger had a much shorter pull than the PM9. The M&P tested out at 6.5 lbs after 1300 rounds. It had a so-so trigger reset. I had some trigger work done, and it now tests at 5 lbs, with a perfect reset, and much, much smoother pull. Accuracy with the new trigger went way up.
Accuracy, there is no comparison. The M&P, especially after trigger work, smokes the Kahr. My Kahr has 1000 rounds, and the M&P 1400 rounds, with absouloutely zero failures of either gun. Concealabilty, there is no comparison, the Kahr is much easier to conceal and is my primary carry gun, especially in the summer.
Two are always better than one, buy them both!
