I did some routine (i.e. once every five years) internal clean and lube work on my 25-5 yesterday... Rob's FB post spurred me on.
Question: I hear a slight metallic "ping" at the end of the hammer fall. Subtle, but noticeable, and definitely did NOT make this noise prior to cleaning. In dry fire, it passes all function tests and the trigger pull feels smoother and slightly lighter.
The proof will be in live fire, but does this sound familiar? I wonder if it's the hammer block ringing against the newly cleaned channel in the side plate.

- All forged; no MIM. '86 or '87 gun, I think. -
