P90 Trigger Bar assembly issue

[Donaldjr1969]

Yesterday while doing a routine fieldstrip of my P90, I managed to pop that wire spring loose from the grip frame that is part of the trigger bar assembly. How I did it, I have no idea...

Now the spring did not come out of the trigger bar itself. But after looking at the pistol and into the grip frame, I think I put it in the right place.

So for my fellow P90 owners, did I put the spring in the right place?

From what I can see, mine appears to be positioned the same way as yours.

Yes you did...on the front part, and the back end of the spring should be on the trigger bar.

Thanks, everybody. I thought I did it right but wanted to make sure. Luckily the other end never came off the trigger bar.

Hi Donald,

Glad you solved the problem. I may have an answer for you as to how you popped out that spring. Last time out at the range my 92FS would not work. I had no idea what the problem was and luckily there was a smith working. I pulled the same part out of my Beretta as you did your Ruger.

I stood there thinking how the heck it could of happened. Then it dawned on me. When I clean my pistols I usually pull a rag through the bottom of the grip assembly and out the top. The rag certainly pulled my spring loose and is now somewhere in the thick carpet downstairs.

Does that give you a hint as to how it may have happened to you?

That sounds very possible. I clean the magazine well of my P90 in much the similar manner. I may have pulled it partially loose prior to the other day and then it just rode on top of where it should be. Hence, the slightest pressure dislodged the spring.
