The proper method is to adjust the main spring tension by filing down the end of the strain screw, then re tighten it fully down.
Adjust the poundage to at least the minimum setting. Remember, the strain screw is always fully tightened, and the side plate is on when doing this work.
Gun empty, muzzle pointed upwards.
Dry fire gun and hold trigger fully to the rear.
Cock hammer with your thumb, then hook a 3 1/2 pound minimum weight around the end of the hammer.
The hammer must not move rearward when the gun is lifted.
