CGW 3 Spring Kit!  (Hammer Spring, Firing Pin Spring and Firing Pin Block Spring).  Get the hardened firing pin retaining pin while you are at it.  Keep the recoil spring stock unless brass is trickling out or flying out to the next county.

I've used their 3 spring kit on my PCR and one for a Full Size with the stock firing pin and shot a variety of ammo all of which goes bang and dents the primer nicely.  Some will recommend going with extended firing pin for 'guaranteed' primer ignition.  Shoot it until you are confident everything is working fine.

Just installed the 3 spring kit on my PCR but haven?t managed to go shoot it yet.... however I can say the DA trigger pull has definitely been reduced
No time like the present...

What's the part # for the firing pin retaining pin? I'm about to order what you suggested. Thanks!

Just to trow this out, the SRS-1 pack comes w/ everything mentioned plus the short reset lifter. I installed it plus the floating trigger pin and reduced power trigger spring in my cold war 75B w/ great results (wanted to keep the spur hammer and trigger shoe.)

Edit: Note that installing the floating pin/trigger spring/lifter requires separating the sear cage from the frame -- moderate task in a 75B, PITA in a 75BD (like the PCR.)
