Back in the spring I picked up a 6" Gp-100.
After a 1500 rounds or so and alot of dry fire time the trigger really smoothed out.
Being a 1911 guy though, the trigger in DA was still too heavy.
I picked up a reduced power spring kit from Brownells.
I installed the strongest main spring and didn't notice that much difference in the trigger.
Installing the medium spring made the trigger a little nicer.
I was a little apprehensive when it came to messing with the reset spring but I finally got the courage to change it out.
It was easy, no problem.
Then I got cocky and pulled the trigger assembly apart to clean and polish.
Boinggg!! sent a tiny spring across the room!
Found it, polished up all the pieces and put it all together.
All I can say is wow, the spring kit is well worth the 16 bucks!
Super smooth but not silly light. It still gets slightly heavier at the end of the pull but overall is lighter.
Next it is off to the range to function check with different ammo's (the fun part!).
I cannot say enough good things about this gun, even before my tinkering the trigger had smoothed out real nice.
BTW, the dissasembly where I almost lost a tiny spring wasn't a necessary part of installing reduced power springs.
