Right you are. I rid myself of the tendency to hold the trigger back some years ago when I learned to stop "shooting to reset" with various pistols. I went back to getting my finger off the trigger so it could recover unimpeded by my finger.

I'm not surprised the stock spring is firm and fast enough to suit Jerry's trigger technique.
