measuring on a hammer fired pistol (vektor cp1 turd), with hammer and sear removed including their springs.
it has a trigger safety button on the trigger connected to a cross pin in the trigger that hits the frame so the trigger itself can't move back more than 1mm.
when i pull on the trigger as normal, the safety button travels in 2mm which requires 600 grams in total while it retracts the cross pin.
at 730 grams i can then pull the trigger back further , 4.6mm which requires an additional 1400 grams to the 600 grams of the safety button.
if i want to put in a lighter trigger return spring, would i also have to put in a lighter safety button spring? to make sure the trigger safety fully disengages the cross pin before the whole trigger moves back? i'm afraid otherwise the trigger would move back first 1mm till the crosspin is pressed against the frame, and that would make retracting the crosspin heavy and would leave scratches on the frame.
i want to lighten the trigger pull a bit as it is crazy heavy.
but for obvious safety reasons i don't want to touch the sear & hammer.
the hammer has a crazy heavy torsion spring for which unfortunately there is no lighter replacement. it puts extreme force on the sear
so i thought maybe reducing the 2000 grams required to move the trigger itself back would help?
or should i just get a lighter hammer torsion spring made?
it's not a carry gun, just a range plinker which can't hit any target because of the crazy trigger pull.
edit: some additional measuring:
triggerpull on assembled gun with no trigger return spring installed = 2190 gram
triggerpull on assembled gun with trigger return spring = 3500 gram
triggerpull to disengage sear, no hammer spring installed = 2210 gram
