SCHEMATICS - TUNING- ACCURIZING

 

Just a bit of good old cleaning, lubrication, and check for burrs on the moving trigger mechanism. Add some basic rotary tool polishing on the bright metal and moving parts areas. POLISH is the key. 400 / 600 grit paper. 

 

Every time I arrive at the indoor range, I have to show my handguns. They always comment how clean mine are. I asked aren't all the handguns that you see clean? You would be surprised that most are dirty. So be kind to your firearm, cleaning and lubrication is a must. Not handy then take it to a gunsmith. Your life may depend on it.
