Why would you want to defeat the only safety feature that the firearm has? I have mine down to 4 1/2 lbs which is the least that I feel comfortable with, it being my CCW. The length of the pull is similar to other DAO pistols, if you're not comfortable with it why not sell it or trade it in on a SA/DA pistol?
One problem that you might run into would be light primer strikes. Since the length of pull determines how far the striker comes back against the spring, a shorter pull would equal less pressure unless you went to a heavier spring, which would give you a shorter pull but heavier...

How did you get it down to 4.5 lbs? I did the trigger job with the pig tail spring and polished the heck out of the trigger components and i'm at 8-9lbs. I have heard some not so great things about the Wolff spring. Its great for the first 1,000 or so round and then there are alot of FTF's. I have about 18,000 rounds thru mine already with out any problems at all and am fine with the trigger as far as putting a bullet where i want it to go. I am just a tinkerer and like to mess with stuff.
I really like my sigma out of all the pistols i have, it gets the most attn.

I've taken mine down and ultra polished all the moving parts. The trigger pull is as smooth as glass now (instead of the clicking it used to have). I really don't recommend your proposed modification. There just isn't a reason once you get the trigger smoothed out.
