How and what tools you guys used to bend the trigger bar??
After reading that PDF file, I tried to bend it with 2 wrenches and trigger bar was super hard.
I thought it was impossible without risk breaking the frame so I gave up.

My PPQ is the Navy version.
I am not sure if it has a different trigger bar or I was not doing it right.

Hi I have never owned a firearm and researched alot and decided on getting a PPQ M2 5". But now I am bugged about the trigger. There are a couple of threads about the "gritty" trigger. I thought the trigger was the best part and now I am going to buy a brand new gun and start bending parts to make it work right? Sorry if I sound negative but this bugs me.

Thankfully for you this isn't Glocktalk, haha. Legitimate question, most Walther fans are pretty realistic here and relatively secure with our Walthers to handle questioning.

Some people have reported a "gritty trigger", little oil and shooting typically solves the issue, some polish, others bend, the last two? I wouldn't recommend.

Keep in mind, those that have complained, said even with the grit the pull is still superior to other combat pistols.

I'm confident your 5" M2 will be a winner

I used an adjustable wrench with small pieces of wood to hold everything in place and a needle nosed pliers to do the bending. The most important tool is STEADY HANDS. Bend it in very small adjustments at a time.

Just to throw a quick tip out there

You can use a permanent marker and color the FPB contact surface.
Dry fire 20 times you will see exactly where your trigger bar is gliding on the FPB.
No more peeping through the mag well with a flash light.
I did this and figured out my trigger bar rides right in the middle so there's no point for me to bend it.

So use pliers that are made in America.....or Germany.

Just curious, but is your trigger gritty?

My original NIB trigger was OK. However, I still polished the FPB and it did get a little better. After polishing I got a chance to go to the range and fired 275 rounds. The trigger improved a tiny bit more.

Right now
Under normal firing speed and pull, I wouldn't say its gritty, not at all.
But if I try to pull the trigger super light and slow then I can still feel the stickiness.

Another interesting tip I found.
If you want to lube the FPB, use grease or thin oil.
From my person experience, grease > thin oil > no oil > thick oil.
Thick oil makes it even worse.
