A little trigger pull gauge fun Lyman gauge vs some of the pistols in my safe
Yesterday I picked up a digital lyman gauge, And I decided to try it out on a few of my pistols. There were a couple of surprises.
Tests 10 pull average, measuring from the center of the trigger. 1- 1960's Colt Detective (round count unknown) SA 4 lbs 13 oz average DA 9 lb 4 oz average 2- Kahr PM9 (200 rounds or so) DAO 6lbs 2oz average 3- Glock 29 (about 300 rounds on a 3.5 lb connector) Safe action 6 lbs 5oz This was a surprise Guessing glock measures from the tip rather than the actual middle. 4- Kimber compact stainless (Several thousand rounds) SAO 4 lbs 11oz 5- Para p18 (750 rounds, trigger job by Pa Patriot) SAO 4 lbs 7oz Right where I wanted it! thanks Rich! 6- H&K p7m8 (round count unknown) SAO(5lbs 03oz) 7- Taurus pt1911 stainless(About 500 rds) SAO 6lbs 01oz 8 Seecamp lws25 (round count unknown) DAO 9lbs 05oz 9 Magnum research Micro eagle 380 (100 rounds) DAO 8lbs 15oz 10 S&W M29 bounty hunter. SA 4lbs 09oz post trigger job 03 lb 06 oz DA Unknown.(All exceeded the 12lb max on gauge) Post trigger job 08 lbs 04oz 11 Baby Browning SAO 4lbs 03 oz 12 Beretta 21 Bobcat 22lr Round count unknown DA 7lbs 9oz SA 3lbs 2.9oz 13 S&W 25-2 45acp Custom (possible Jovino) DA 10lbs 2oz SA 4lbs 3oz 14 Sig p229 40/357 DA 8 lbs 14 oz SA 4 lbs 01 oz 15 Kimber Ultra CDP II SA 4lbs 08 oz 16 Sig P229 DAK SAS 40 s&W DA 7 lbs 14 oz More tests when I have time. Totally unscientific, but a lot of fun.

I found both triggers to be terrible to me so the triggers are on a scale to me.. The Glock was a crisper suck and the XD was a more mushy suck. They are in the same family, SR9 (heavy suck), Glock (crisp heavy suck), XD( lighter mushy suck), M&P(heavy mushy suck). Last edited by thelemite; 2 Weeks Ago at 01:12 AM.

I'm looking at that Micro Eagle closely. Why do you like it better then your Seecamp .32?
