Hi everyone,

I just got a new bodyguard 2.0 nts, and I noticed the trigger blade safety catches on the frame a little when pulled. If I pull towards the bottom of the trigger, it is smooth and doesn’t catch at all. But, if I pull towards the top of the trigger, it catches quite a bit. I naturally pull towards the middle of the trigger, and it has a slight catch. Is this normal?

Thanks.
 
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 least 50 rounds, and get a feel for the trigger.

If you decide to work on it, 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.

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.

Sounds reasonable. Thank you for the advice.

For a carry gun, 4 lbs is about as light as I would want it. My competition guns vary from 2-3 lbs.
 
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... :D

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.
