My full size 9mm doesn't have the nice reset of the trigger anymore. Any suggestions on how to get it back?

Are you saying it won't reset at all or it no longer "clicks" when you reset the trigger.

If it doesn't reset at all, take the slide off, if you have a mag disconnect insert a mag and pull the trigger. Then push the trigger bar loop over to the right (out from under the sear) and watch the trigger bar loop as you release the trigger. Is it sliding back under the sear? If not, the loop may need to be adjusted. If it simply doesn't click, that's OK.

Do you have the newer slide stop with the ridge on the inside of the right edge of the stop? That's supposed to enhance the "click" of the reset. If not, no big deal but don't expect click. You could bend the trigger bar to put more tension on the loop to the right, but I would strongly recommend against it because unless you really know what you're doing, you could mess up the trigger bar and render your gun unshootable.
 
Something like that is almost impossible to diagnose without having the firearm in your hand to examine.
 
OP:
response? response? ;)

Sorry for not responding earlier. Been busy.

I did not notice a bump on the slide stop. After removing the slide I pulled the trigger and noticed that the trigger bar starts in the center of the sear and then moves to the right hugging the right side of the frame. My 9c doesn't do it quite like my full size does.
 
You said "anymore". Does that mean it used to have a tactile reset or the full size doesn't feel like your 9c? If it used to have a tactile reset and lost it, did you take the trigger bar out of the gun and maybe bent it?

Hate to play 20 questions, but there's a lot of missing holes in what you are trying to get across.
