I'll offer up what I have done to my 92 to make it better, and I encourage anyone else with fun little tricks to do the same. 1. Strip the pistol down to the bare frame, leaving only the two arms at the top rear of the frame in front of the hammer 2. Take some 800-1000 grit sandpaper and begin polishing. start with the sear. polish the sides and edges of it. remove all the black, and polish until you see uniform, smooth, shiny metal. you should LITERALLY be able to see your reflection in it. 2. polish the pivot point on the hammer to the same mirror finish, then take a small piece of sandpaper, roll it up, and ream/polish the hole where the hammer pin goes through 3. speaking of the hammer pin, give that a good polishing 4. do the same thing to the trigger. polish the pivot points, and the holes 5. polish the trigger pin and trigger bar 6. polish the tracks on the slide.... do NOT sand anything on the frame. the frame is made of aluminum, and there is significant risk of causing damage by sanding there. the steel slide will be fine. 7. polish behind the bolt face, the raised part in the center that slides over the hammer 8. replace the mainspring with the mainspring from the 92D in addition to the 800-1000 grit sandpaper, you should also use a dremel with a felt tip on it to really shine up those parts. the smoother they are, the smoother the action of the pistol will be. just remember, your goal is to make it as smooth as possible with the minimal removal of material. taking off the finish is OK, just be careful not to remove actual metal with your efforts do it right, and you will think you have a whole new pistol |
