These are the conditions:

Empty chamber, hammer down and after several hours of rest in that position.
Rack the slide, pull the trigger, a slight amount of creep is felt. Rack the slide for a second time, the creep is minimal and for the third and following clycles the trigger shows no creep whatsoever, pefect.
Sear, disconector, bow???? I am clueless!
Your help is sincerely appreciated!

If the creep goes away after racking the slide a third time, why look any further? Just rack the slide and dry fire three times. You can spend a lot of time and money trying to diagnose and fix this problem. Why bother if the problem goes away so easy?

Very true! But, I've been doing all the work myself (the piece is a Kimber Gold Combat SS)so I take it as a chalenge... So close to perfect... Argggg!

My humble opinion is that there is a slight amount of oxidation forming where the sear and hammer notch meet. Since this is a friction area, it's most likely that the finish has worn off. What can you do about it? Nothing really, unless you want to replace parts.

Really interesting....Don't ya think??

I tend to agree with Newton. Is your sear lubricated with some light grease?

Also, you may want to put a quality sear spring in your gun. Factory pieces are notorious for inconsistent spring pressure on the sear and disconnector. A good aftermarket spring will allow the same tension pull after pull.

All three of my Kimbers needed to have their disconnector notches deepened a smidge. The disconnector rubbing the front of the notch produced an inconsistent amount of creep.
