Tighten the strain screw in the grip frame (it presses against the mainspring) half a turn. If you still get light strikes, tighten it another half turn. Easy.

The strain screw is NOT an adjustment screw ,,,,though many improperly use it for that.
It needs to be bottomed out and snug. Leaving it loose can lead to backing out and light hammer strikes.
Shorten the screw or weaken the spring if you must but these are both shortcuts that can end in intermittency . Too short or a weak spring in the rebound slide will cause the trigger reset to be sluggish or incomplete. Internal polish is the proper way to get results.

Thank you giys for the input! I had read in a few places to tighten down that screw and in both tge installation of the wilson combat and tbe return of the original I tightened tgat srew down as tight as it would go.

I am fine with the reduced trigger return and the factory hammer spring. I think the clean and lubricate did more for the smoothness than anything else but I have it now where the front sight doesn't move even one handed so I'm happy

Alex, If you're worried about loose or over tightening the screws, consider Vibra-Tite.
Degrease the threads well and apply, letting it dry hard overnight. It shrinks when dry and sucks up into the threads.
It's a coating that stays on the threads and can be reused. Tighten normally and it gives it just enough drag as to not allow to vibrate out.
