You need a trigger scale, WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY YOU SHOULD ATTEMPT THIS.

Remove your grip safety, reinstall the mainspring housing W/ sear spring in place.

With a paperclip twisted to your trigger scale, put a small L at the end of the clip. Use this to hook under the individual leafs of the sear spring.

Hook the left spring leaf, measure its weight, just where you can move it off the sear. Slowly bend it away from the sear and retest till it is 1 Lb. NO LESS!!!!!

Do the same to the center leaf.

When you are done, reassemble the gun and "boost" the hammer. This is done by pushing the hammer front from the cocked position by prying against the grip safety and pulling the trigger. This mates the sear and hammer.

This is tried and true, there are other things that can be done, but this is as light as you should try to get it.

TEST FIRING

ONLY LOAD TWO ROUNDS, fire. Repeat. If it does'nt double, you did it right.

If it does double, recheck your spring weights, if they are @ 1lb, add 1/2lb to the center leaf.]

Thanks for your helpful advices! I will in a most careful way try this. (I certainly donīt want any doubles).
