Trigger Polish

[JAT3]

So I decided to attempt to disassemble my M&P9 FS and polish some of the trigger components. All went very well the results are amazing and it was pretty simple. I didn't grind or file I didn't want to remove any more material than necessary. Just a cloth polisher on my cordless drill with some polish. I only wish I had done it sooner much smoother and just a tadlighter. With no previous experience with this I am very happy and satisfied. I would recommend this project to anyone.

Could you explain further what components and maybe some pics? What do you mean disassemble? Field strip or further?

Thanks

Its back together and unfortunately I was so nervous I didn't think about pics. Its a little further than feild stripping. If you Google trigger polish m&P there is all kinds of different sites and pics and even downloads of pdf files. My only suggestion is to go slow and don't take much material. Like I said I polished. Some people out there grind cut and modify. If I was going to chop it all up I think I would've just went with an after market kit. But basically polish the trigger bar, sear, and other contact points of the trigger and firing mechanism.

YouTube also has some videos. I read a lot and watched several videos to get familiar with what was in there before being surprised. Did the AR also both were really simple just watch some videos and read up so your not surprised by and springs or detents and take your time and be patient. Its worth it. And if your mechanically inclined don't psych yourself out like I did.

I am very mechanical, but very apprehensive about taking my gun apart. I did just remove the TS, detent and spring from both my .40's so I feel a little more comfortable as I had to remove the sear block. Job was a success. Installed frame plugs in its place.

Maybe this will be next job.

It really is easy, and once you get into it the first time, you will realize its nothing t all, i had the same feelings, but after building a few AR's and got tired of the crappy trigger so installed the Dcaek kit in my 4 and did the "burwell" DIY trigger job on the 9mm and also the aek trigger, and in all honesty my trigger job feels better then the apex kit, but both have not been shot yet, just played with them after installs.

You would be amazed how much better the pull is with a touch of anti-seize grease added to the mating surfaces of the sear and striker faces. Works even better after the surface polishing. I use Permatex brand, that can be purchased at any auto parts. One small tube will last forever. Just a light coating on the surfaces. Anti-seize is a friction reducer between parts. It is basically what some gun parts distributors sell as sear lube, at high prices.

Sear lube? Never heard of it. I would think any lubricant on the sear is not a good thing. I know of no manufacturer that recommends lubricating the actual sear.
