I got me a new Shield 9 and when I was shooting it yesterday, the trigger felt very stiff at the break compared to my used 9c. Probably got about 50 rounds through it.

Brought it home and put it on my Lyman scale and the trigger broke at just over 9 lbs. WOW!!!!!

A NY1 in a Glock feels better than that.

I took my slide apart as the striker block feels very crunchy or gritty.

I took the rear sight off and polished the block however the spring does not feel smooth when the spring is compressed into the block.

It appears to me that the spring hole on the striker block is too sloppy and I feel every coil rubbing as the block moves up.

I "cleaned up" the striker block spring hole hoping there was some slag or a burr but my needed.

I may also have a rough edge inside the slide striker block hole.

While I like the carry width in a IWB holster, this trigger press is not RIGHT for me.

ADDED:

I found a rough edge on the top edge of the striker block hole. I could run a edge along this rim and feel the roughness. I smoothed this edge, polished my striker block, put a little polish on the sear and my trigger now breaks at just under 8 lbs.

Still no where near what my 9c feels like.
