*10mm* Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0

Me too. One of just a very few I have seen posted that would make me interested in picking up a 1911.

It’s an even better looking gun in person. 88 has a tendency to do things better than right.

Don’t tell him I said that though. Wouldn’t want it to go to his head.

What all did you polish? Just the plunger and the trigger bar where it interfaces with the plunger?

The bottom of the plunger (rounded & polished)
The hump on the trigger bar that pushes the plunger up (polished)
The straight bit of the end of the trigger bar where it pushes sideways against the fire control housing (polished)

From the factory it's just stamped sheet metal and it's rough AF.

I'll take another stab. I polished the crap out of that plunger and dry fired about 1000 times. Its better but still gritty. What did you polish with? I was being pretty gentle.

Didn't see that coming

Same.

When I polished mine, I focused on the plunger in the slide. Both the plunger itself and the hole that it fits into. That seems to be the source of a big part of the grit. I think that I used either 600 or 1000 grit sandpaper wrapped around a wooden dowel to remove any production burrs in the bore.

I dunno. I am a 1911 fan. Not exclusively of course. I likes my plastic-tacticools too. But that is sweet. Makes my blood sugar go up just looking at a photo.

So my 3000 and 5000 grit is probably way to fine?
When I'm done it is really smooth though. Probably takes a lot more time no doubt.

Knife polishing kit. started 500grit but only briefly. 1k then whatever the saphhire stone is.

On mine the plunger gave it a lot of unevenness and caught but the straight leg at the end was the part that was gritty AF throughout. A spring pulls it sideways running the stamped edge against the FCG body.

I fondled one last week and must say I REALLY liked it!!!! The trigger was a little so-so but I know that can be remedied

Sure would liked to see that with the metal frame.
