Worsened the trigger in P238

I think My upgraded trigger must have been overbored where the trigger spring goes, it seems to have slightly increased the amount of slop and creep, giving the P238 slightly more spongy feeling, and not as crisp as the stock plastic trigger. I can hear the spring grating on the inside of the trigger as well, none of this happened with the stock plastic piece. I'm leaving it in for now, to see how this performs at the range. On a positive side note, trigger breaks at slightly lower weight now, but I didnt put up the trigger gauge pre or post. Edit: removed the trigger, lubed up the spring and cleaned out the trigger spring area, seems to have improved the trigger and decreased sponginess, still not as crisp as stock though. My Colt Mustang pocketlite serial no PL1147XX comes with anodized aluminum trigger and did not need to be replaced
