[QUOTE="APDDSN0864, post: 3070055, member: 58226"] Dave, don’t be afraid to tinker with the new sear spring. You can gently bend it by hand to tune the weight without hurting anything. Just make sure you have a smooth arc shape with no sharp bends. As you have probably already discovered, it doesn’t take much to make a significant change in the pull weight. Also, take a look at the very tips of the spring leaves, checking for burrs on their contact surfaces. Even the best quality ones will sometimes have sharp points which can drag and cause additional friction. Another thing to look at is the edges of the trigger bow, both inside and outside as well as the shape of the bow. The sides should be parallel with no twist and have no burrs that could cause friction, changing your pull weight and affecting the smoothness of the pull. While I don’t hunt coyotes with my 1911’s, they have dispatched more than one. 😁 Ed [/QUOTE]
