How much/what improvements will come from decreasing the lock time of the fire control components by getting a lightened hammer? What exactly does the lock time effect and what's it doing?

Lock time is the time between when the hammer is released to when the primer is ignited. Although it an almost imperceptible amount of time, the position of the gun can change slightly, and at long distances this can cause the group size to increase.

There are also lighter firing pins available.
