I picked up a nice used *&* M19 this past weekend at a gun show . I'm mostly interested in using it for IDPA. The double action pull is as smooth as butter, just perfect for me really - somebody had obviously played with it. The downside is that the single action trigger pull is almost hazardously light, probably in the neighborhood of >2 lbs.
My question is what can I do to make the SA pull heavier?
I realize that if someone took a dremel tool to the internals, they probably took too much metal off , and as we all know, it's easier to take metal off than it is to put it back on. If that's the case, and parts replacement is the only way to fix too light of a trigger pull, I may look into to turning the gun into a double-action-only piece by using the K-frame kit from Brownells. But, from what I gather, the kit includes a flat serrated trigger and a big fat target style hammer! What good are those features on a DAO gun?
Which brings me to my next question: How hard is it to bob the hammer and polish the trigger face? I am not a gunsmith and certainly I'm no Jack Weigand, but I have slapped together a few AR's and recently modified the frame on my 1911 for a beavertail grip safety. If anyone has done this type of modification on a *&* before I would surely appreciate any advice in regards to tools and procedures, etc. (i.e.: Can it be done with a small vise and some files?) Thanks in advance!
