1915 doubles!!

I had a pistol that doubled. I checked out the trigger spring and someone had replaced the lost original with a ball point pen spring. Resulted in a VERY light and smooth trigger pull but doubles and triples.

I had two(2) Lugers that would double, and BOTH had very light trigger return springs/trigger pulls!!! I replaced the springs, and no more doubling!! It is impressive when a Luger doubles.......that action is fast!!!

If a Luger doubles it sometimes comes from a weak trigger bar spring. If this little flat spring is too weak the trigger bar cannot catch the firing pin quickly enough while the toggle moves back into the ready to fire position. You can remove the spring and bend it a little to put more force on the trigger bar. But then the trigger becomes harder to be pulled.
