I polished anything that wipes, swipes, rotates, slides, releases, and probably some more. I even polished the slot in the slide that the striker sear rides in and the sides of the striker that would slide against the groove.
All contact surfaces were polished to a bright, mirror finish with 1500 grip emory cloth. Didn't remove or shape metal; just polished.
When I put it back together, and pulled the trigger for the first time, my first thought was, "Wow, that's worse that before I did anything." The trigger probably was a little smoother; I guess I may have expected too much.
I had the thought to polish the striker since it moves rearward when the trigger is pulled and if the striker drags against the striker spring, it would cause resistance.
I wasn't looking to lighten the trigger - just make it good and smooth. I feels like all I accomplished was to make it good and the same.
Your thoughts?
