    Increase the # on a Colt series 80?

    Weird question for you guys, there is a customer who has a 80's series 1911 that has a very crisp 3# trigger pull, however the customer feels it is too light for him so he wants us to increase the poundage. Using the existing sear, trigger, and hammer how would we do such a thing?

    New sear spring and possibly rework the hammer sear engagement if necessary.

    Add some tension to the left and center sear spring legs.

    Tension to sear and trigger leg plus perhaps a new mainspring.

    Would be worth inspecting hammer notch and sear nose to make sure engagement and angles are good.
