I have the .45 model. I have been looking for a trigger return spring for some time. I will try the sites you kindly offered here. Thanks for making this video!
Very useful video. It should be noted that original production large frame backups used a larger .088 firing pin tip. Subsequent large frame backups with a firing pin safety block used a smaller .060 tip firing pin.
I have the .45 version, and it didn’t take me very long to figure out that the parts for these bad boys are EXTREMELY SCARCE 😭 I can imagine that stuff for the 9mm is even harder to find
Wish I could answer that. I don’t think there’s much you can do, except for maybe polishing the contact points in the trigger mechanism, which would most likely only make a minimal change. No one makes trigger springs kits (that I know of). Any parts for this firearm are scarce, especially the 9 mm. If your pistol functions, I’d just focus on not dry firing it, so you have the best chance not to need replacement parts in the future.
Dry firing is dropping the hammer on a empty chamber. I believe this was the issue that caused my firing pin to break. Since this pistol doesn’t have a last round hold open for the slide, it’s very easy to keep pulling the trigger after your magazine is empty. Try not to do that.
I personally use CLP, but there are many good cleaning/lubricant products. You can find many videos on UA-cam about firearm related cleaning/lubricant products, watch a few, different people have different opinions.

Nice video. Very helpful. I just picked up a DA 9mm. Looks like it hasn't been touched in years.
You’re a good man
I was just given one in 9mm inoperable. Thanks for the info.
Glad the video helped.

thank you for the information.
The trigger pull is so damn heavy! What do I do?

@@ajcj1970 What is dry firing?

@@ajcj1970 Anything you recommend I oil my gun with? I've shot almost 50 rounds in it so far
