Tried to loosen my trigger and it ended up way too light. If you just thought about it, it would fire. Realized after some pre-mature shots the thing wasn't safe. Gunsmith reset it from 1.5 lbs. to 2.3 lbs. Much better now.

Classic example of why you shouldn't do these things yourself. Professional gunsmiths use a special fixture to adjust the relationship between the trigger and sear. In addition parts that have been case hardened will have to be rehardened as the surface metal will have been removed.
