Had my 5" back out today for another 60 rounds. The trigger felt gritty in SA and DA when I first shot it a couple days back. (I had given it a 'pretty good' cleaning).
I blew the bejesus out of it before I went out today with gunscrubber, and air-blasted the residue out. Then I oiled it up a bit, paying particular attention to any surfaces that move against each other or contact any other surface.
Then I sat at the bench for about an hour, with the thing field stripped, and snapped the hammer into my weak-hand thumb
about a hundred times, both SA and DA. (The trick is to not let the hammer fall all the way to the stop).
Repeated the gunscrubber/air blast/lube deal. I dont know if I just got all the garbage out, or operating the trigger a bunch did it, but the trigger DID feel a bunch better.
I personally think it was just not clean, as I don't think I did the trigger thing enough to change things that much yet. So, yeah, I'd try gunscubber or something similar, as the manual recommends AGAINST stripping beyond the recommended level. (Prolly because it would be tricky to get back together absent some cool tools, and heavy handed tool use could screw up the polymer/fit) :barf:
I don't know any other way to get the crap out of the guts of the trigger mech without stripping it further than Walther recs. I'm open to suggestions, though.
BTW. I agree that the DA resistance build up pretty fast in the last 25% or so of pull. I'm hoping this lightens up a bit over a few hundred rounds. Single action was better than acceptable today.
