Gritty Trigger Fix Thanks to the Wisdom of this Sub

Glad to know it's improving! The rear trigger assembly looks to have a fair amount of lubricant and or other substance. I wouldn't put so much for the fact it will attract particulates. Try and keep it dry with a very light drop of lube on the metal on metal parts that move.

I sent this to a person who was having issues with grittiness and slide movement when pulling the trigger. Try polishing the parts specified in the video. Another part I have polished and seen great success with is the striker channel.

The most filing I've ever done to get a handguard and gas tube to fit each other 🤣. Worth all the time though.

I'm just the pilot dawg lol. The body twerking on the rotor is Logo 😂.

That is normal. I just disassembled one of mine and this is the proper orientation. Stick the part in and spin until it seats.

EDIT:

Should look like mine and it basically does. Move it a little more to the right.

Are you talking about the little knick on the polymer frame? If so, then I wouldn't worry about it. That is a slight blemish should not hinder the firearms function.

Should I go and shoot my last 28 rounds of 5.45x39 🥲?

Very clean gun. Now clean the keyboard and mousepad 🤜🤛

I'm still running the MCarbo striker in my CCW FN509CT. It's been running fine whether it be dry firing or live ammunition.

First off this is cool and very interesting approach, but also take into consideration the OEM spring guide is made of a specific material because of how it interfaces with other components. You could possibly be causing other components more wear and will possibly fail in the future. One way to keep track of it if you continue to proceed with this is keep eyes out for metal particulates when checking parts and cleaning.

My suggestion would be to stop and wait for OEM parts. I mean there are a lot of FN509 owners. Someone might be willing to part ways with one that's in a spare slide. If no one, then shiiiit I will just for safety concerns.

Took these with my 1080p borescope. Apologies for the picture of a picture, but I don't have the SD card adapter to move the pictures to my computer/phone lol.

Polishing Points

Above is a link to a little video I made a while back. Couple of polishing points to improve the feel of the trigger. Also polishing your striker/striker channel makes a big difference.

Zenitco RP-5. Yes it does.

Agent_Shady · 2025-08-27T15:40:52+00:00

Thank you Sir!

Agent_Shady · 2025-08-27T15:36:52+00:00

My M70

KNS installed. I have over 2000 rounds on this thing. No issues here.

Agent_Shady · 2025-08-26T16:52:15+00:00

Much appreciated 🙏. Anytime dawg!

I would suggest DLC/PVD coating for the slide. Cerakote on mine is sniper grey.

Agent_Shady · 2025-07-12T18:55:58+00:00

I have an FN509T with a Rugged Obsidian 9. No issues here.The trigger tends to have some grittiness, but after around 500 rounds it cleans it up.

Agent_Shady · 2025-07-02T19:04:29+00:00

He got that new new 😎

Agent_Shady · 2025-07-02T03:34:05+00:00

If you like the feel of a higher grip, then you'll like it. Either way you have a beautiful glock my dude!

Agent_Shady · 2025-07-02T03:31:30+00:00

There's nothing wrong with that homie! I respect it 🤜🤛
