How to lube Pardini SP trigger?

[Test Name]

I have a Pardini SP and the trigger pull is not smooth. I'd like to correct it. The problem is not with the sear or second stage, it's in the take-up of the first stage. I get creepy tactile feedback while taking up the first stage. When lubed, taking up the first stage is very smooth. I have been spraying into the trigger assembly with a dry moly lube. This works for a couple of range sessions, but does not work for long.

Have you experienced this sort of thing? Can you give me some idea of how to correct it? Should I spray some wet lubricant into it instead of dry lube? Or is there an easy way to expose the trigger mechanism internals for lubrication with moly grease? I've got the exploded view of the gun but I don't want to tackle the job of disassembly and reassembly because the diagram isn't very clear.

Thanks.

Thank you. I've done that for the sear engagement and it works. However, my problem is with the first stage. Are you suggesting that I put moly grease on the other moving parts that I can see from that port?

I guess you can have your trigger set up differently, but as set up from the factory, as you take up the first stage the sear moves close to release, then the trigger "bridge" (for lack of a better word) hits the second stage ball detent screw.

It´s a system that allows for a crisp release point with plenty of sear engagement, the downside is that you have to move your finger all the way forward for the trigger to reset.

On the pardinis I´ve seen rough first stage travel comes from rough sear/hammer engagement surfaces, and from what I´ve heard it doesn´t wear in, its necessary to hone the surfaces.
I´ve done that to one pistol and it really made a difference, but it obviously requires disassembly of the gun.

The other parts of the trigger system should only require light lubrication.
