I'm not all that familiar with semi automatics. Regardless of caliber, if you bought a used "race gun", what are the essentials to know before you just blindly have a heavier pull installed. What really needs to be done?

Thanks!
 
No 1911 platform. A .38 Super that had the trigger lightened for competition and all I want to do is take it to the range and have to put a little more effort into the SA mode. Is it a new sear I need?
 
Most race guns are built to be light & fast in the trigger area. The design is 1911 style, but they are built by STI, SVI, & MANY others. I would think you'll need a new hammer & sear mated together to give you what you wish. Try talking to Bob Londrigan at Brazos Custom Gunworks. [email protected]

Tanfoglio Witness. The gun I have up in the classifieds. 17+1. You can see the trigger job easily in the pictures.

Your pics are gone so I can't see what your talking about in the trigger job. But most trigger jobs are done the same way and I have worked on my own Witness Matches.
I'm sure you've had a reduced power hammer spring installed in the course of doing that "trigger job". All you should probably need to do is install either a stock or extra power hammer spring and you'll probably be happy. You should then end up with a nice crisp let off only at a little higher pull weight. Wolff has a variety of springs available to tune to your desires.

Any time you purchase a firearm that has been modified, especially for competitive uses, your responsibility is to get it checked out immediately. Most of the time nobody knows who did the work or whether the work was done correctly. Assume that you have an "unsafe" firearm, until proven otherwise. Almost always, light trigger pulls involve the removal of metal in the trigger engagement area. That means new parts are needed for a fresh start. Its not only you that may be endangered, but remember me - the guy standing next to you at the range!
