Re: Spring replaced - DA pull still bad

OK, without doing anything I actually shot the gun. I can actually pull it through DA and get hits - but with the light trigger pull I end up double tapping without trying to actually do so. Bottom line is that I have to do something about the SA trigger pull. I think I will start by swapping in a h...
