    Default 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)

    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

    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

    17 Glock 23 40 S&W ghost rocket, and lightning strike trigger.

    18 Keltec pf9 9mm
    6lbs 04 oz

    19 XD45 Tactical
    5lbs 07 oz

    20 S&W model 10-7
    DA 9lbs 02 oz
    SA 2lbs 09 oz

    21 Kel-Tec p-11
    DAO 9lbs 10 oz

    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).

    oh i definitely will. i read all about the KEVIN design the first time i saw the micro. the only complaint i could find online about it was the price.

    i have been looking at them off and on since they came out.

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