Four pounds of pull is about as light as you should go on most 1911's. To go lighter could invite the hammer to follow the slide when the slide slams forward and possibly go full auto. If you must have that three pound pull, take it to a gunsmith. Just my two cents and seeing a lot of home brewed gunsmithing accidents.
