How long does it take to remove the firing pin and trigger assembly from an Encore for a thorough cleaning? How many tools does it require?
Well I can drop my assembly out in about 30 seconds with one little tool. Completely disassemble the trigger assembly in about 1 and a half minutes with a small punch tool, clean it all up and put it back together in about the same amount of time. And that's with overly large sausage fingers! But most people don't break down their trigger assemblies. They spray a cleaner in and blow the assembly out then add a drop or 2 of oil. If for some reason you have found the encore trigger assembly difficult to break down, Mike has a wonderful guide up (with pictures) for doing just that
