Just picked up a SR 9 from a buddy new in box. He bought two then wife saw the SR 9c. So this gun never made it out of the box. So its been sitting in the safe for a little and as any new gun I stripped it to inspect it.. feed ramp had sharp edges and definitely needed a good polish. The trigger group was packed with gunk and fine particles. NOTE TO ANYONE who is going to remove the trigger from the frame..... There is a tiny little wittle wire that just sits on the side between the frame and trigger group. It just kind sits there. Easy to not see or have it disappear...
. So it got a good cleaning and treatment with seal1. The firing pin got taken out and mag safety put in the box. This is where I was shocked... the firing pin assembly and receiver was packed with gunk and flickered in the light with all the little flakes in it. Cleaned it out and treated with seal1. Put it back together and checked the trigger pull.... its a amazing 4lb-4.1lb pull!!!
No ghost trigger or anythig replaced yet. Just a deep clean and pulled the magazine safety. Questions as follows... it this normal for a D magazine release SR9, or just lucky? To clarify its a repeated clean pull and break at 4-4.1lbs. Next has anyone fine sanded or the striker rod? Did it make a difference?
Last questions.... any gunsmith have any experience with a gun coming out of the factory like this? Should I do the ghost? Not so much for the pull but for the reset? Or should I just be happy and dont screw with it?
Im kinda afraid while I may get a better reset, I screw up a great trigger. Honestly, I'm usually the guy going " lucky S.O.B..wish that was me". Its completely different on this side of a post.
