New MC9LS trigger feels very bad

i have a new mc9ls with around 300-400 rounds through it now. ive stripped it down and cleaned it fully. the trigger really just feels awful. you can pull the trigger to the wall, and then there is a lot more pull through some mush required until the firing pin drops. on reset it is the same thing, it will reset and then you have to pull the trigger through some mush before the pin drops. it is no where near the crisp clean break you expect

this video very closely mimics what is happening to me. the only difference is i dont get that initial click they have in the video. but the amount of pull needed *after* hitting the trigger wall is a lot just like in this clip. bassically, ignore the first click in this video after the trigger hits the wall, and that is the amount of pull needed until it fires. my tp9SF Elite is far more sensitive.

- ive stripped and cleaned the gun

- the firing pin safety block moves freely and smoothly (this was a possible solution in the link above)

- ive gone through all the mating surfaces with the sear and firing pin to make sure there are no burrs causing issues. everything looks and feels fine

- i have a TP9SF Elite that is a year old at this point with probably a few thousand rounds through it. that trigger is worlds better than my MC9LS. this is the last thing i expected as everything i've read and heard says the MC9 triggers are an improvement (i wasnt expecting it to be some insane improvement over the TP9 but it expected it to be *at least* as good

- it is a cali-compliant MC9, though i removed the magazine disconnect. i dont think this has any effect on trigger pull but i dont know if the entire ejector assembly is slightly different / less sensitive for Cali compliant guns ?

- this definitely doesnt seem like a trigger-shoe issue. it seems like its in the sear itself

im out of ideas and its really hurting my groupings, and im already not a great shot with a micro-compact. are there any ideas other than keep putting rounds through it hoping it improves ? part of me wants to just try a new ejector assembly

Ejector assembly replacement to remove magazine safety?

I got a cali compliant mc9ls because I'm in a 10rd limit state. But I do not need the magazine safety lock in my state. It looks like it's built into the ejector assembly. Can I replace the assembly with an OEM one from Canik to "fix" this?

EDIT: Nevermind. its even easier than that. i found another user who simply removed the mag disconnect

Cheap 365nm LED strips !

about a year ago i posted this:

https://old.reddit.com/r/uraniumglass/comments/1eob18s/cheap_365nm_uv_light_strips/

then tariffs hit and prices on LED strips like this skyrocketed. well it appears prices have settled down again and the seller i used before is back to their old pricing:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?sid=hello_led&_pgn=1&isRefine=true&_trksid=p4429486.m2548.l49496

there are various kits they sell, 365 or 395, differing lengths, some with or without power supplies, some waterproof.

if you just search on Ebay as well youll find TONS of listings even in the US. i had great success with the Chinese LED strips i got on ebay and it saved me hundreds of dollars compared to some name-brand UV LED makers.

Real world differences between TP9 SF Elite and Mete SF?

as far as i can tell...these guns are nearly identical.

  • SF comes with a magwell
  • SF comes with optic cut
  • SF has different iron sights

is there any other difference? the widths and weights are nearly identical. barrel lenghts are the same (in fact, they share the same barrel part #)

seems like the TP9 series is being phased out and i suspect the Mete SF is essentially the replacement for the SF Elite
