Salsantini Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) I polished the trigger bar and the trigger bar guide on my PPQ M2. Polished the side of the bar and the top edge. On the Trigger bar guide I polished the bottom. It is actually feels worse. I assembled the pistol correctly and is functions fine. Not quite understanding why the trigger feels more gritty. Any thoughts? Edited October 18, 2018 by Salsantini Grammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 If it feels rough when the slide is off then there might be some issue with the frame. If it feels rough when the slide is on then check the disconnector, the bar pushes it up as it runs over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I push the trigger bar down so it no longer touches the trigger bar guide It feels smooth. so I don't think it is the frame. The roughness seems to be when the two parts interact. Before polishing it was ok. After it is rough. I used a felt tip with my Dremel and Flitz to polish. I think I will order replacements. Install them and see if it goes back to the original condition.

johes Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Funny, I had the same result with my Q5. Felt worse after polishing. In the 5” standard I bought as backup to Q5, I just let shooting take care of it. Also Q5 okay after shooting a bunch. Both fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Weird. Polishing my Q5 took 1/4 pound off the pull but more importantly, made it slick and smooth. Haven’t heard of this one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did you polish the trigger bar and the trigger bar guide? I'm thinking it has something to do with the guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) I polished all of the metal on metal surfaces, both sides. Broke the gun down to each individual part and did the sear, the leg that activates it, and the sides of the housing too.

Salsantini Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 Ok. So I reworked the trigger bar guide. I took some 440 then 1500 then 2000 grit sand paper and redid the trigger bar guide. I finished off the polish with a Dremel using a felt tip and Flitz polishing compound. The trigger pull now feels smooth. I the first time around I did not pay much attention to the trigger bar guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
