Shannan,

Luger trigger pull is normally what I would call moderate and should not be THAT light. There is normally an initial light pull before the trigger engages the sear bar, then more force is required to fire the gun. Check for a weak/broken/missing trigger return spring or perhaps a worn/mis-fitted sear bar/striker, or perhaps dirt in sear bar.

Step one: completely disassemble and clean the gun. Examine the parts. Is the return spring present and intact? Is there any evidence of alterations to the sear bar or striker (file marks, peening)?

Added note: A trigger return spring is not visible in your photos and the striker is not matched to the gun.
