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.

DAO 6lbs 2oz average
3- Glock 29 (about 300 rounds on a 3.5 lb connector)

Totally unscientific, but a lot of fun.Last edited by thelemite; July 13th, 2013 at 11:57 PM.
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).

Better than my Seecamp 32. Its a tank, but it goes bang reliably so far.
Its a proven design called the KEVIN. Magnum Research licensed it at made em here.

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