So far I fired 100 rounds through it and dry fired about 50 times. The trigger is hard to pull and Im not used to it, its not like my semi-auto P95 which has an easier trigger pull. Is there something I can do to break this gun in faster? Is there some type of lubricant or oil that can make the trigger easier to pull. On the bright side I shot very well with it today. Again this is a double action only SP101 with laser. Thanks for any suggestions.

Wolff gun springs.
 
50 times of dry fire is nothing. Try thousands of times. Just sit there and pull while watching tv.
 
I second WWB. Get Wolff's replacement springs. I installed a lower force Wolff spring in my DOA SP101 and it made a big difference. Trigger pull is much lighter and its much easier to keep a good sight picture. If you do replace the spring, make sure the new one has enough power to set off whatever brand primers you're using. I've never had a failure to fire but it could happen with hard primers I guess.

I agree a lot. Part of the problem is new and needs a workout, another part of the problem is hand strength. To begin dry fire 20 or 30 times, then rest your hand for a few minutes; then do it again. Be sure to change hands. Before you know it you'll be able to dry fire 50 or 60 times without a rest, and before you know it you'll be dry firing 200 - 300 times in the evening. Before long you will have a smoother trigger and it won't seem to be so difficult.

I don't believe I'd do any thing with the springs at this early date.

For sure it is more difficult than your semi-auto. :wink:
 
Hugh, I went with your advice and it is much appreciated. I did start another thread to see how may others practice dry firing to increase trigger pull strength.
