Can you lighten a 1.5lb - 6lb trigger to a 1lb or less?

You can clip a coil off the adjustable spring, but you might get bolt resetting problems, requiring you to lift the bolt to reset. Taking Glock thing out of your trigger group, will lighten the pull a few ozs, but you will render the weapon "super deadly dangerous" if you do ;D

I just checked mine, and it breaks at 22ozs, with no issues.

The best way is to send it to Sharp Shooter to get their new target trigger installed.

Galveston22,
I have tweaked a few of my 1 1/2 lb Accu-Triggers down to 14 - 15 ounces. I took the lightweight Accu-Trigger spring off and cut just over one wind off of the end with the alingment pin. If you do cut your spring, do it in a plastic baggie so that you do not lose the part you cut off. Then take the shortened spring and reform the top portion to match up to the angle and contour of the original spring top. Doing this requires two good needle nose pliers and some patience on your part. When you get it reformed, just shorten the top alignment pin to match up with the original pin height. Test it several time with a trigger pull gauge and for function before you use it with loaded ammo.

Yikes that sounds tricky. I don't want to mess it up.

Yes you can, and there is another way that doesn't require cutting the factory accu-trigger spring.
