OP read all the way through before starting on this.
If you have the competence to disassemble the gun correctly you can try this. Once you have the gun apart and understand what every part does you can put a light application of Clover Valve grinding compound (2000 or 3000 grit) on the moving parts and the surfaces they contact. Reassemble the gun and dry fire (with snap cap) +/-100 times. Cycle the slide with out any springs installed same amount. THOROUGHLY rinse the guns in acetone (don't get any acetone on plastic) to remove Clover compound, re-oil and reassemble. Test all functions for proper function and then go shoot the gun using only a few rounds at a time.
While this is in no way a substitute for a proper "trigger job", very often it will remove any minor burrs and roughness that may be causing the grittiness you are experiencing. This along with a few hundred rounds fired through the gun often will "clean it up" pretty well.
And realistically I would do the live fire first after applying a little gunslick graphite grease to the moving parts as mentioned above. As always, when using ANY abrasives with firearms, GO SLOWLY AND REPEAT IF NEEDED, as opposed to going hog wild and overdoing it..IM me if you have any questions.
