Polished the internals on my 92fs

Recommended Posts

And the only thing accomplished is shiny internals.

 

I just spent 3 hours polishing the internals on my 92 in an effort to get a better double action. Used several progressively finer grits is abrasive, ending with polish.

 

All the right surfaces are shiny. I even polished some of the pins. The action is smoother, but no appreciable improvement in the pull and release.

 

I have the D spring. Ordered a bunch of stuff today, Wolff springs, and the like.

 

Let's see where we end up.

 

The goal is a nice soft and smooth DA first shot.

Good idea Anthony. I remember we were discussing the first DA shot at OB this past weekend. I may look into what I can do , if anything for the 226. Especially since I'm a DA/SA newb when it comes to gun games.

I did the polish on mine too. Worth the effort. Action is definitely smoother. Even though it wasn't bad to begin with, but now it's more refined. The D spring made a big difference too for me. Did you also smooth out the sear and hammer engagement area? Gives a bit of cleaner break. I haven't looked into replacing the trigger as I've heard that improves the action as well.

It is smoother, no doubt, but not the night and day difference I had read about. Might be because I have 6-7000 rounds through her already. Have to play with a new 92 to feel the difference.

 

Yes, did all surfaces, sear, hammer, trigger bar, etc.

Wow. Toothpaste. That's a first. I used sandpaper which goes all the way up to 8000grit then follow up with red rouge, then mag polish. With 6-7,000 rounds, likely a lot of the contact points have already weared to a smooth finish.

 

The only next stage I heard was replacing the trigger. Haven't thought of cutting off some coils from the hammer spring, but I rather have reliable strikes on the primer. The D spring lightened up my DA pull quite a bit so I was happy. I know one guy when I was at a match having tons of issues with WWB and the D spring. I run CCIs and Aguilas. Not one failure.

 

Last thing you can do is send it off to a reputable 92 specialist to fine tune it. Not sure what magic they do.

Toothpaste has been a minor fix for many things... Old school. Remove minor scratches, polishing, etc... Some more than others have a bit of fine grit...

Yep, ultra fine polish

The fact is the mechanism used by most DA semi-autos (designed by Walther in 1921) does not lend itself to smoothing too much. Yes you can smooth it to a degree but you will never achieve the smoothness of a quality action job on a S&W revolver.

 

Using toothpaste? I heard of that 40 years ago and the only result I know of is it made the gun parts sticky.

    • So, as I interpret things, you get a hit on #1. It says nothing about feeding from said magazine, just that the magazine attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip. And it is attached. Was this what was considered when it was written? 100% no. However, this is NJ and I don't think they would give you an inch when as written it covers it in plain english.  #2 would be a hard yes if you put a threaded barrel on your setup, so I'd not do that.  #3... well it's not a shroud, but it does allow you to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned. Shroud is ill defined, and it could be argued to partially enshroud the barrel from the bottom. I would bet cash money that the AG would gladly say that second part there is to clarify the intent of the law and that since you can do that, you violated the stated intent of the law. 
    • I don't know why we ( NJ gun organizations ) have not yet filed a lawsuit on "duty to inform"  A clear violation of the constitution 5th and probably 4th.  Maybe this guys lawyer will and get that charge dropped.  what other right do you need to inform a law enforcement officer of.    are you required to identify as a republican or democrat during an encounter, and by the way,  what constitutes an encounter.  voluntary? involuntary?   time to get this one knocked down. come on ANJRPC stop waiting for court decisions and go on the attack.
    • Right, each location will have a different set of Repeater frequencies you can use in your area.  You could also just have 2 sets of CHIRP files ready to go and make sure you have the ability to program them quickly in a SHTF situation.  Maybe dedicate at least one radio for each location with specific programming, and then when you get there you can re-program the radios you take with you with the programming specific to that location.   More expensive radios have the ability to program them via your phone app and BT connection.
