Bodyguard 2.0 trigger blade safety catching issue?

GnarlsR2 said:

If my trigger finger pad is not completely covering the trigger safety, I can feel a slight click where the safety hits the frame.

I would guess that the tolerance on the safety tab that slides into the frame is slightly off and protrudes too much.

That should be an easy careful DIY fix.

The trigger safety is a poor design, it should not be wider than the trigger.

Thanks for checking on yours. Do you think sanding down the part of the trigger blade safety that catches would cause any issues?

I would want to "break it in" with at 50 rounds, and get a feel for the trigger.

If you decide to work on, I would just be very careful how many thousandths or 10s of thousands of an inch I would remove with a finger nail board, exactly where the safety tab touches and slips into the frame.

Yes... if it's causing an noticeable "catch" when pulling the trigger normally, after 50 rounds I would fix it.

Sounds reasonable. Thank you for the advice.

EDIT: The "experts" say that trigger control is the number one action that will effect accuracy (POA/POI). Having a nice smoother trigger and a well-practiced trigger pull is critical. I prefer a lighter trigger. At 4 lbs. 2.4 ozs, my BG2 is the heaviest trigger I have on any firearm.

might want to think about smoothing down the trigger frame where the safety it touching it rather than altering the actual safety stem.......just thinking out loud

Negative ghost rider...

THAT would NOT be easily done.

Removing .0005" or more off the little edge of the tab on the safety should work to clear it as it goes into the tight slit in the frame.

I have to say we should not be having to do this...are you listening S&W? Yes I just took a thin little detail file and took as little off as necessary on the stem not the frame. Take a little and test over and over until It clears and it's perfectly smooth now and still does its job. It was a very small amount I removed.

I have would like to add one more small annoyance. After I shoot for while I noticed the bottom edge of the trigger likes to pinch the bottom side of my finger during reset and gets all red. The trigger guard needs to be a little lower so there is more space and it doesn't pinch. Hopefully someone will make a flat face or something different.
