Oil..............

 

Remove all the mice from the gun.

 

It worked!!! Took the mice out and no squeaks!
Anyone else have mice and squeaks from the plastic in their trigger. (yes I tried oil, OF)

 

Sorry, dude. I was just exercising my sense of humor.



Seriously ........... I have never experienced a squeaky trigger. Never even heard of it till now.

 

Trigger still has great feel (not the grit some have pointed out) but just the plastic on plastic squeak prior to actual trigger travel. I will try a different brand of lube (using hoppes). Recommendations?

 

Use Weapon Shield. It stays where you put it and it's super slippery too.

 

The squeaky trigger gets the grease. I think that's how the saying goes.

Just NOT(!!!!) WD-40 or similar penetrating oil unless it was made for guns.

 

I had the same issue and the fix was to get as much oil OUT of the trigger area and trigger safety as possible. Some dry lube may work like graphite but once I was able to get the oil out of there, the squeaking stopped.

Now I am very stingy when oiling my firearm and very careful to keep oil away from plastic parts when possible.

 

OK. Thanks for the replies. I will clean it out and see if that helps.

 

FWIW I put a small dab of FrogLube on polymer parts including the trigger before wiping everything down and have never had a problem with a squeaky trigger.

 

Issues, thanks.
Cleaned it out. It's dry. No squeak. It worked. A little counterintuitive to me...I thought oil would solve the issue. But, the dry trigger safety solved the problem. Good advice.

 

What issues said.

 

This thread should be a sticky with the title changed to: WARNING!!! DO NOT OIL PPQ TRIGGER SAFETY under any circumstances!

If you do, you will find the most annoying sound in the world emanating from your PPQ:

How do I clean it out to get rid of the squeak? Non-chlorinated brake cleaner? Dishwashing soap? Isopropyl Alcohol?

Agreed. Had the same problem, and same solution last summer. Sprayed the trigger safety liberally with gun cleaner and got all of the oil out of there. Totally silent now.

 

Ended up using a can of compressed air to blow the Breakfree out and wiping with isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab. A squeak was still there afterwards but was gone within a few days. I am never lubing my trigger safety again!

 

I got gun oil on my trigger safety and it started squeaking like mad.

I wiped it off, blew compressed air from a can, wiped it off again and then cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol on a Q tip. After wiping that off I kept pressing the trigger safety for about 1-2 minutes and the squeaking disappeared completely.

Rule #1: Do not use any oil on the trigger safety.
Rule #2: Use isopropyl alcohol to eliminate squeaky trigger safety.

 

and the international cricket call champion is !


how about some door lock graphite ...

 

With my luck, that'll leave graphite on my trigger finger, then my nose and face and everywhere else I touch!

 

Nice.. I now have coffee all over the keyboard and one monitor. Thanks

 

Just a squirt of simple ole Remington Gun Cleaner works great. Stops the squeak instantly.

 

I'm a bit late to this thread and had oiled my trigger to stop the squeak, which it did. Why is using oil on this a bad thing, other than it getting on your trigger finger?

 

I got some light weight oil on my trigger mechanism when I lubed the top part of the trigger area thinking that the springs in there needed some oil. Now I'm reading this thread. Luckily my trigger does not squeak. But I did noticed some scratches on the side of the trigger where it goes back into the plastic housing. Evidently something inside the trigger housing is rubbing on the side of the trigger and making those scratch marks on the side of the trigger. It's only on one side and it's at the very top part of my trigger. Top part of the visible part of the trigger. When I pull the trigger the scratched area goes up inside the trigger housing area and the scratched area of the trigger is hidden inside the trigger housing. I noticed that I can physically move the trigger to the other side by pushing it with my fingers. There is some play in the trigger that allows it to move side to side about a millimeter or so. Not sure if it's been like that all along or something changed and shifted the trigger to one side making it get scratches when the trigger is pulled. I'm sure that it adds some friction to the trigger pull. But it's very minimal. Since the plastic is black in color it's easy to not see the scratches unless you look at the gun at a certain angle under certain lighting conditions.

 

I got some oil into the trigger safety area, squeaked. Cleaned it out with rubbing alcohol and blew out with canned air. No squeak.

 

Wondering if you guys disassembled the trigger when you cleaned the trigger/safety with the isopropyl and compressed air. Or did you just leave the trigger assembly alone. I'm still hearing the squeaky sound. Unless i just have to wait a couple days to go away.
I just took a cotton swab and dipped it into the isopropyl and swabbed the trigger safety and used compressed air afterwards.

 

My trigger was sprayed down with CLP, I think. No squeak yet. Reason was that I went to the bathroom and the friend thought he was doing me a favor by hitting the spot I missed.

 

Just a minute.....your friend pees CLP....or, maybe it wasn't CLP? I think I'd be looking for a new friend.

Personally, I've never tried to clean OR oil that little booger. I've also NEVER heard it squeak (but, maybe that cuz I have CHS).

I don't know what he pees. I never checked

I told him NEVER to spray stuff into my gun again unless he wants to have the apple on his head as a target.

 

Mine also has squeeky safety lever

 

I bought a PPQ and picked it up yesterday from the FFL. Dry firing it at home, I noticed that the trigger safety was a little squeaky. Thinking that oil would be the solution to any kinds of squeaks, I put a couple drops of oil on it toward the axle, but that just made it louder - and worse, the trigger now got oil on my finger.

A google search brought me to this thread, which indicates I should counter-intuitively de-lube the trigger to solve the problem, so I sprayed a little Milcomm MC-25 degreaser (like Simple Green for guns) on it, followed it with rubbing alcohol to aid in drying, and voila! the squeaking is now gone. So, many thanks to the people posting advice to degrease the trigger. That solved the problem.
