It may take some experimentation, but I am sure anyone could do the same with any modification to the original gun parts.

The trigger alone requires ounces of force to pull on mine so the coil spring under would have little affect on the overall pull.

I honed the sear surfaces on both the firing pin and sear with an Arkansas stone, The trigger pull is down to 7-1/2 lbs. Another trip to the range and the pistol functioned flawlessly, so I guess I am on the right track. Still would like to take a couple more pounds of pull off though.
