Slightly gritty trigger

[ffemt]

I recently took apart my used MK9 (slide, frame, not the trigger assembly though) after shooting it twice to give it a good cleaning. Dumb me somehow nicked the Trigger Bar (012M9E) and now the Trigger Bar Spring (013M9E) very slightly catches on the nick. I tried using my dremel and it got a little smoother but can't get the right angle. Is it possible to take apart the trigger assembly and get that trigger bar out at home? For now I did a temporary fix which included spray painting a light coat on the spring to help it ride over the grooves.

Thanks

It's possible, but I advise against it (the trigger pivot pin can be a challenge). Where did you nick the bar that you can't get to it with the grips off (I'm thinking with a small file or stone here)? Photos would help with suggesting a course of action.

Hi Greg,

I'll take some pics when I get home. The bar was nicked right before (towards the hammer side) the U-shape of the spring fits around the bar. So when the trigger is pulled and the bar travels to the rear the U-shape part catches the nicks on the side and edges of the bar. I believe the nick extends from the bottom of the bar and then up the side facing you. I can only dremel one edge of the bar but can't reach the other side that faces inward. Hope that makes sense...pics will be up this afternoon.

just take some 600+ grip paper and smooth out that very area. It will take 5 minutes to do and then put a dab of grease right there also and then continue to shgoot it some more. that should take care of it.

GB 6491 is right. leave the trigger assembly alone.

You may have to use your imagination and try to find something that you can wrap a bit of grit paper around, and get behind where you want to be. Messing with assemblies can be very bad, if your not familiar with gunsmithing, or don't have the proper tools.:p

Here's a few pics, sorry but it's the best my phone can do and it had a hard time focusing on the right piece :-)

Knocking out the trigger pin is tricky with a punch. I bet the guys at kahr have a mechanical press similar to a chain tool to drive that pin. If you go for it you may mar the finish around the pin head and or frame, be warned.
