S&W M52 trigger weight

The trigger is lighter than I like, is it adjusted like the 1911? It seems similar, except the sear spring is a single blade. I'm looking to get 6 to 8oz more.

You can bend the sear spring toward the sear slightly, which may produce the effect you're looking for.  Often the engagement surfaces need refinished.
The 52s I have worked on disappointed me, when veiwing the quality of the sear/hammer work from the factory..  The hammer hooks are shorter than the typical 1911, although,  it is a better system than the 1911, in that it pulls the sear out of position, rather than push....

Thanks Jerry, I'll try bending it first.

I couldn't figure out how to get the sear spring out. I got to it, and tried to bend it in place, didn't work. I tried prying it out with a dental pic, something is holding it in place. Can someone give me some direction? There are no youtubes for it, and did lots of googleing with no success.
Thanks, Ken

Look at part # 65 and # 66

I saw that, I had 67 out, which let the hammer and mag release come out, but the sear and spring didn't come out. Think I'll forget it, it was a pain getting the hammer aligned and back in.

The spring is very secure and cannot be pried out.There is a shallow milled recess in the frame that the sear spring rests in and prevents side to side movement.. There is also a lip on the bottom of the sear spring that fits into a slot..this lip locks the spring into place, preventing any movement length wise.. The spring is held in place with a pin that extends from one side of the frame to the other. This pin must be removed to remove the spring.

Thank you very much Jerry! I'm glad I didn't try and force anything.
