My first 1911 had a trigger pull that felt like dragging a knife blade over rough concrete. The 1911 sear is case hardened maybe 1/1000 inch thick is hard. But examination under magnification showed manufacturing burrs, removing them (fine Arkansas stone) made a nice trigger.

I would limit any trigger work to similar smoothing. Changing angles is extremely risky, and best done with easily replaceable parts (Oops, start again), not Luger fitted and numbered parts.
