Default SD9VE Gritty Trigger Noise

I just picked up a new SD9VE and think I will like it. I already have the older SW9VE and love it. The newer SD9VE makes a gritty/grinding/squeaking noise when I pull the trigger back only 1/4"-1/2". It appears to be metal scratching on metal or is it possible that a spring is compressing in this short distance. If you were standing a couple feet away you probably could hear it squeaking clearly. I don't have this noise on my older Sigma and was wondering if it is something that will work itself out after putting some rounds thru it. Or should I be oiling something within the trigger assembly. Guess I will know after a couple hundred of rounds but I am sure you guys already know the answer to this.
-thanks

Probably needs a little break-in, but the first thing I would do is to clean & lube it according to the manual. I use a little dab of grease on the striker/sear interface.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks for your input.

I have the original SD9 and it was very similar. I put an Apex spring kit in there and it did wonders.
