Default Model 4046 Trigger Pull Question?

I recently purchased 2 model 4046's and really like the DAO trigger pull, however, the trigger pull on the newer pistol (has the MIM hammer, trigger, sear) without the mag inserted (Mag disconnect feature) is not as smooth when pulling to the rear as the older pistol. I feel a catch about half way through the pull. The older model has a smooth pull all the way back. Is this normal in the newer versions or is there a problem?

I have both the older and newer versions of the 5943, and both the trigger pulls are the same - no hitches or grittyness from either version. In fact, the MIM one might be just a smidge smoother.

Yours may have a burr or something somewhere in the mechanism causing the hitch.

EDIT: Sorry, should have read your post a little more closely. With the slide closed and no magazine in place, my MIM parts 5943 does have a noticeable catch in the trigger pull. It works fine otherwise, so I'm not too concerned about it.

Yeah, with the slide closed and a mag inserted it functions fine and the pull is smooth.
