    Yep. Lots of info online.. Remove pigtail spring, swap outer striker spring for lighter pen spring or remove outer spring completely, reassemble.. :)

    It's super simple and makes a HUGE difference.

    how long have you had the gun? i found that the trigger on my 9VE did smooth out a bit after I broke it in. The trigger was still heavy, but it was a lot smoother...

    While you have it all apart, you might want to take an emery board and polish the machining marks on the sear, on the face where it contacts the plastic sear block (marked with a red arrow). The lines should be horizontal across the face, which cause the trigger to feel gritty. You don't need to remove too much, just enough to smooth the surface.

    Also, the red circle is around the larger trigger reset spring (removed), and the green circle is around the pigtail spring (also removed).
