Just be a careful when bending the sear spring. Don't bend it too much or you'll have problems with the hammer following through (not locking back). It will usually happen when you soft rack the slide. As mentioned earlier, unless you're gonna get new internals (sear, disco, hammer) I wouldn't recommend going lower than 4lb or 3.5lb trigger pull.

Yes, OK and thank you Pewpew and Billy, so it seems 3.5 is the magic number I suppose.
I have owned 1911's for decades, yet only in recent years have I ventured into this realm. I have watched a few you tube videos on all this stuff, yet it has been a while, and the very specifics of match type tuning are few and far between. My prior guns were defense pistols and had heavier triggers, although still good and well polished.
If I understand as much as I think I do, the required trigger force on these will come from a combination of the trigger return and the sear spring force, and as stated and confirmed here by others, I was afraid to go too light on the sear, and not unlike a CZ, in this SA pistol the hammer spring would likely have minimal effect on total pull weight.
I doubt I can reduce the trigger return tension much, so the rest would indeed have to come from the sear spring, and I will likely just have to carefully find the sweet spot I guess, although I would feel better if I had more experience here on sort of pushing the edge, or practical limits. I really needed that target range~!
As far as the sear creep goes, I do not plan on changing much here either. Although as I stated I have not yet taken it apart for inspection, I suspect that just a few swipes with my fine diamond hone to relieve the back angle on the sear will be all it needs. This once again is just a picky preference, primarily because I like shooting long distance from a rest, but in any practical shooting one would normally pull right through this without notice. Minor refinement. My buddy who is a speedshooting champion thinks I am getting carried away, he said leave it alone and shoot it more. It is a race horse, not a safe queen!
I will say this, although I have only ran 50 rds WWB through this gun, it does remind me that it is throwing out a lot of lead! I must be getting old and soft shooting too much 9mm target loads.
