You know how I said the trigger seemed worse? It might not just be me getting more sensitive. It may be getting worse on it's own. A .22 conversion may be as bad for munging up the sear as dropping the slide on an empty chamber. It bangs around the whole thing clankity clankity.
I must get in the guts and see...

Y'know, if you want a perfect trigger/sear then you should get another gun and never shoot the one with perfect engagement.
A car is't perfect unless it stays a show car. Daily drivers get dinged. Same with firearms.
How much is "munged" by shooting it?
Not much at all is munged by shooting it. It gets munged by abuse. This is abuse damage from the .22 conversion kit.
How? I am curious....If you can explain it without too much trouble....
I had in previous posts about 1911 gunsmithing. When I warned "never let your slide drop on an empty chamber." The same sort of thing happens with a .22 conversion kit as happens then.
NEVER LET YOUR SLIDE DROP ON AN EMPTY CHAMBER
The gun clangs into battery. This causes nasty bouncing in the lockwork inside the gun. If you had a tiny high speed camera in there we could film it, but that would be very difficult.
This clanging causes the sear to to bounce on the hammer spurs, and this action is kinda rough on them, rounding things over or peening it. Even chipping a bit off the sear (it's the harder bit).
If the slide was stripping a round off the magazine and pushing it into battery as the gun intended, this slow down this action considerably and there is no jarring stops. So less wear and tear on the internals.
I will try to come up with some links later. From this list: http://jovianthunderbolt.blogspot.com/search/label/gunsmithing
Maybe some macro photos of the sear in question if I don't fail at the photography. I need to clean this gun anyway, might as well detail strip it to inspect stuff, too.
