Yes. IF the person that did the trigger job clipped the mainspring. It is easy to go overboard on the clipping.

I did a Taurus PT809 and I clipped 3 coils out of the mainspring in addition to stoning the engagements. which made for a freakin nice DA pull and a crisp 3 pound SA break but it wouldnt shoot WWB. Light strikes like crazy. SO I got a new mainspring and clipped only 2 coils, DA pull increased marginally and no more light strikes. Still has a sweet 3 pound SA break.
