The good news is I visited a gun shop today and found a set of 2 to 4 1/2 pound Pachmayer trigger pull weights at a great price, a little bit of surface rust in places, but for $10, I can't complain.
The bad news came when I got home to check all my pistols.
I have a Argentine M1927 (Colt clone) that I built up for CMP/EIC hardball matches. It has the original trigger group in it. All I did to the trigger group was stone the sides of the sear and hammer to smooth it out, installed a new 19 lb hammer spring and a new Wilson sear spring. I was hoping this would give me around a 4 lb pull.
Well I was wrong. It will lift 3.25 lbs, but breaks at 3.5 lbs. CMP rules require a 4 lb pull.
I reinstalled the hammer spring that came with the pistol as I bought it, I have no idea what the actual weight of the old spring is. Same results.
So, here is what I plan to do. Increase the hammer spring to 21 lb (new spring), and if that doesn't work, bend the middle leaf on the sear spring forward a tad. Am I on the right track here?
Any advice would be appreciated.
