I am a former machinist and I have a few other viewpoints you may be interested in...... 1) You CAN polish the sear without removing the hardened surface. Do just what you planned, Polish. Give it that chromed look, nothing more. Do NOT grind on it - ever. Btw, if you do happen to have access to a nice polishing wheel, use fine grit polish, if none of that is available then work it on a 'dry' wheel. 2) The other suggestion in this thread is a great option for shortening the trigger pull. 3) You can lighten the trigger by a) polishing the sides of all moving trigger frame components b) changing the trigger return spring - bear in mind that if you install a lighter trigger spring, it will take slightly longer for the trigger to return to the 'fire' position. 4) Polish that Hammer! There is nothing heavier in your Spyder than the valve hammer. The hammer creates more drag than any other component! Bear in mind here that removing the dark ano from the hammer may invite rust, so upkeep on your 'gun has just increased. Keep it oiled and clean and you'll be fine. Good Luck!
