Staccato P Trigger Improvment

What are my options for for getting a P trigger pull below 4 pounds?
Options from cheapest to more expensive (buying and installing different parts).

I'm semi-decent at gun smithing however have never worked on a 1911/2011.

I got my P below 4 lbs by bending the left sear spring leaf. It's now at 3 5/8 lbs. I also lightened the take up by bending the center leaf.

Here’s a video from Atlas about sear spring tuning.

That's an interesting video. I don't own one but I like what he's saying about the adjustment.
Great video, looks straight forward.

There’s more going on in a trigger job than just bending a sear spring. You can definitely get your trigger break down by bending the spring but if the FCG components are not cut, polished and fitted right, you still will not have a good trigger.

You can have a gunsmith polish and recut your FCG or buy a “drop in” kit.

I’d say Staccato/STI has always had good triggers. The few times I’ve wanted to upgrade one I’ve issued Harrison designs products. HD-134 "CC" Concealed Carry ignition set

Keep in mind “drop in parts” aren’t really a thing with 1911/2011’s. Some parts do and work perfectly but always expect to do some minor fitting.
