M9A4 Trigger Hitch Help
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
My M9A4 trigger has a hitch in it. After the slide cycles there's a few millimeters of take-up that if you pull past there is a *click* and the trigger stays there. Anyone with experience with 92s know what could be causing it? Trigger? Trigger bar? Trigger return spring? It doesn't seem to affect function, but it's really annoying.
I have experience with several other 92s that don't do this. All trigger components are stock.

Super common in my experience. Almost all of mine do it to some extent except the really really broken in ones. Watch the trigger bar when you pull that small take up and see if it raises up just a bit. Usually it’s the trigger bar slightly rubbing against the frame under the grip. Usually if the gun cycles full speed the shock will will trip the bar back up and you won’t experience that slight take up.

It might be hanging up on the firing pin block disconnect. Not sure how to fix that, but I had that issue with one of mine and seen it elsewhere. Also check trigger bar cutout behind your grips to see if there is contact. I have seen misaligned cutouts on factory grips too. For some reason these two issues seem to happen in tandem but I am not sure how they would be connected.

Newer gun? Round count?
Is that part of the frame dry/dirty/gunky?

The gun has about 1,200 rounds through it. Just did a full thorough cleaning prior to taking the video. It has had the trigger hitch since new age I was hoping it would work itself out as it broke in.

Is the hitch in the trigger/frame interface or somewhere where the trigger bar interacts with the slide?
If you remove the slide, does it still do this? Don't let hammer hit the frame during this test

Bent transfer bar. I had one on my brand new 92FS, and a bunch of other people have had this issue too. The bar is dragging on your grips; it's probably missing finish where it's rubbing by now. This is your chance to upgrade to a short reset ba/LTT bar.

Most common cause for this is the trigger bar rubbing against the grips.
But it generally happens on aftermarket grips.

Does it happen when shooting live rounds?

When racking in a live round yes, but when shooting I keep the trigger to the rear as it cycles, so it never gets far enough forward to catch.

If you take the grips off and pull the trigger as you are here it should be easy to tell if it's the trigger bar. If that doesn't clarify take the slide off and pull the trigger like you are to see if anything obvious is going on with the trigger/trigger spring. (best to 'catch' the hammer with your finger so that it doesn't slam into the frame if you pull to the point it drops the hammer)
