Am I ok or does this look wrong to you?

[chmodx]

EDIT** This is a CW45

I noticed my trigger became stiff all of a sudden, I did a complete tear-down of the ploymer frame without any noticeable improvement. I also pulled the striker and found a TON of gold(brass) flakes all over it, clearly making it gritty to move.

Not sure why my trigger feels stiffer all of a sudden.

I did notice something odd in the grip frame, the ejector has 2 problems:
1. The front tip of it has a semi-circle inward on the left/outside of it.
2. Notice the back end of it-is there supposed to be a space between it and the frame?

Looks about the same as my PM40 viewed from the same angle.

Any idea as to why my trigger feels so stiff suddenly?

[Bawanna]

Define complete tear down of the polymer frame. Did you take the trigger and related components out?

[chmodx]

Complete meaning everything removed including trigger

[CJB]

Never done that, but... is it possible the trigger spring is not in correctly?

[chmodx]

Trigger was stiff before which was why I took it apart.

Trigger rotated very easily on the bar, not sure if I just have a bad spring

[CJB]

Hows the trigger without the slide on the pistol?

[chmodx]

Tri gger its roughly the same. If I lock the slide back, the trigger literally feels like its crunching/spongy.

Your striker spring may also be gritty from the sounds of your last post.

Striker was ok when I took it apart, gave that area a cleaning as well when I had it apart.

I believe I have found the culprit--the trigger bar and trigger bar spring.

I took the side panel off and notice that as the trigger moved, the spring itself also slid back and forth. When I held it towards the front of the grip frame it went back to smooth without the crunching noise and grittiness.

I also noticed the bar had some uneven rubbing marks on it from the spring's hook, I used a qtip and some mothers to give it a little polishing, then I bent the bottom/back end of the trigger bar spring down a little and now it stays forward with a smoother pull.

I may call Kahr and see if they'll send me a new spring just in case, but for now I'm a little happier.
