Sear spring is NOT the only thing that affects pull weight. Sear engagement depth and sear and hammer notch polish, trigger polish (sides where they ride in the frame and the back where it contacts the sear), also the hammer spring weight.
Just lightening the sear spring can cause you gun to go full auto.
There was mo mention indicating the sear was the only thing affecting pull weight and quality. We could also discuss hook face angle and how it is located relative to the hammer pin bore center, sear primary and secondary angle/depth and so on. The mainspring only contributes about 1 1/4 pounds of pull, give or take an ounce or two, on a properly done 1911 trigger. The rest of the tension is set using the left two leaves of the sear spring. theBIGone2087 stated he had the trigger work done. At this point we can assess as proper since he hasn't had any problems. Therefore he would set to desired pull weight using the sear spring original or replacement sear spring. After the pistol passes all the attendant safety checks it would be deemed safe to shoot once it safely operates after a couple one round mag tests.
theBIGone2087, you can get a sear spring and set it up for the pull weight you want.
