Luger 1906/29

The Luger trigger is working against three springs and the sear/firing pin engagement surfaces.

The springs are the trigger return spring, the sear bar (flat) spring and the firing pin spring.

You MIGHT reduce the pull weight by clipping half a coil from the trigger return spring.

You MIGHT reduce the pull weight by slightly bending the sear bar spring to reduce it's tension.

NEITHER is a good idea IMO.

I wouldn't touch the firing pin spring.

IF the let off is smooth and without creep or gritty, then the sear/firing pin surfaces are likely as good as they'll get. IF you decide to polish the sear & firing pin engagement surfaces, use a very hard stone, a good oil and - as mentioned - DO NOT change the angles.

Personally, a 3 pound pull is fine and I wouldn't touch a thing. Lugers in general have a long but smooth pull and, once you're used to it, you should be fine.
