Para Ordance trigger pull

The trigger pull seems too hard on my Para Ordance Warthog 45acp, can it be adjusted, without taking to a gunsmith? Thanks

    can a regular 1911 not have a good trigger pull? I though shooters used them for target practce.

    Most plain stock 1911,s have a heavy trigger.
    A good target 1911 will have the trigger worked on by the factory or a good gunsmith.
    It takes polishing the hammer and sear and tweaking the springs to do it.

    the warthog is one of the smaller framed 1911s no? made for carry/defensive use? Wouldn't it be a bad idea to have to light of a trigger pull on a pistol your going to be carrying all the time?

    just checked the trigger pull on my Warthog and its 5.5 lbs. would like it about 3-4 lbs. I thank. My Ruger 45 lc revolver is 4.5 and my Colt saa 45 lc is 2 lbs.

    It is possible for an individual to improve the trigger pull on a 1911 style pistol. (1) you must understand the interaction of the parts. (2) you must understand what can safely be changed. (3) you must have directions / pictures. (4) you must have the few files and stones required. (5) you must be somewhat skilled in using the tools. There are and have been many articles showing how this is done. There are also tool / jig kits available to do the job from Brownells, etc., at about $60 to $80 (I think). It's an interesting project and if you ruin the parts, you can just buy new parts. You haven't ruined the pistol.
