Trigger Pull Improvement!!!
 

I recently ordered a new recoil spring from Wolff, which includes a new striker spring as well. Thor replaced the recoil spring for me, while I replaced the striker spring. Thor had commented on how strong the recoil spring is, even though it was suppose to be the standard spring. The striker spring is equally stronger than the one I removed!!! One side benefit of the striker spring, was a noticeable improvement in trigger pull!!! I had never read, or heard of that benefit before. Had I have known I would have done this years ago. The recoil spring definitely stiffened up the toggle cocking operation. Now to take it out to the range!!!

Watch that striker spring. In my 1920's 7.65, I had an interesting experience when I installed a stronger spring. The pistol would fire when the toggle was worked, sometimes.

Sounds like you had inadequate striker engagement Sieger...

An increase in the strength of the striker spring should not pose a safety hazard if the engagement between the striker and the sear are within original specifications. Perhaps some previous owner had stoned the sear to reduce engagement to improve the trigger pull before you installed the new spring...

Perhaps, as the sear engagement is not as "wide" as that on my military Lugers.

If it were stoned down, and not in original spec., the parts certainly "look" original.

I guess that would be an interesting question. Are the commercial triggers set up to the same specs. as the military ones?
