Does, hammer spring pull, equate to trigger pull?

[platoonDaddy]

Wilson Combat Vertec/Centurion Tactical Pistol has a hammer spring pull of 13lb, how does that equate to trigger pull?

That's not really a 1911 question.

It makes a big difference on a double action pull. Doesn't do much on a single action.

In my experience it does. If I were using the pistol for self defence I'd leave the 23# mainspring in place. On a recreational pistol I've gone as low as 16# without any malfunctions. The difference takes about 2# off the trigger.

Going from a 23-19 usually nets about 4oz less.

Sear/hammer hook geometry and leaf/sear spring tension are primary determiners of pull weight.

Hammer spring is also called a main spring correct?

[gaijin]

Yes sir.
