Wow, that's very good. In the "old days" I could get 2.3-2.5# out of any MK I/II/III pistol with just a $25 sear (and $10 bushing change if MK III). Even after the full boat $120 Volquartsen kit, both my mark IV's are currently stalled at about 3.2#. I suspect tolerance issues in these early production MK IV's is the cause. In any case,
Volquartzen is a great operation to deal with!

p.s. These was likely something up with that gun if it had a 7# factory trigger. I handle new ones in the shop every week. Most run around 4.5-5# ( with some moderate creep) out of the box.
