I do the .25 polish on all my glocks and noticed a slight improvement. will polishing the sear and striker engagement surfaces do any good?

Yes but not near as much improvement as you see on Glocks which are very rough to begin with and the Glock "sear" is considerably different. Polishing and adding the Canyon Creek spring kit will drop your trigger pull about a pound. As with every thing go easy with the Dremel.

YES, but the sear face not only needs to be polished but also have the face angle tailored a bit. The Springer polished sear (cost $60) is a bargain because they have done a good job on it. Drop that in and polish the striker foot shiny (don't change the angle) and your trigger will be much improved.

Certainly does. I just did my 9 and 40 and they are silky smooth.

The 9 already had the SP sear and trigger bar, I just cleaned those up and they are money now.

unless you're gonna use the gun for competition and making the trigger as light as possible, its ok to polish but if its for self defense, a 5 lbs trigger is just what the manufacturer ordered and the judge for that matter, less a liability in court for accidental misfire
