Dry firing is going to give you the trigger feel. If it dry fires badly, it not going to get any better on the range. Sure if it is burr problem, eventually it will wear away, if you want to wait that long.

First you should try to diagnose the cause:

You said it pulls smooth to the I am guessing the pick up of the sear, about the last 3/16 inch of trigger pull.

1. Remove the slide and test the trigger pull, should be OK.

2. Put the slide back on, cycle the slide to cock the striker. Put a small object (precision screwdriver, long small diameter pointer, etc.) in through the rear slide cover, the small opening on lower right side. You have to go in about 1 inch and you can lift up on the striker blocker ( I use a fulcrum by pushing down on the top of the frame to cause the item to lift the blocker, see photo). Hold the blocker up and pull the trigger. We are trying to eliminate the blocker in the trigger pull. If when you pull the trigger you feel the trigger bar hitting on the item you are using to hold the blocker up, move that item over or use something smaller, as the trigger bar should not touch that item.

Once you can pull the trigger, with the striker cocked, and the blocker pushed up out of the way you can diagnose the problem. If the trigger pulls smoothly to break, the blocker is the problem. If you still have the trigger pull problem, then it is sear related.

post your results and hopefully we can get it fixed.
