An older Lyman digital is mainly what I use but also have a couple spring gauges. Years ago someone (Dlask?) used to make one that would interface with a computer and give one a graphical representation of the trigger pull experience. I think it was aimed at benchrest rifle shooters and was over $1K as I remember.

Probably should buy a new Lyman or whatever digital. My birthday money this year was spent on a Labradar to measure velocity which is another thread.

I'm pretty happy with my Lyman it varies from one gun to the next but is pretty consistent with the same gun. It may or may not be accurate but it gives me a good Idea of what is going on with each trigger

I've got a Lyman and it's pretty good at giving you a relatively accurate reading - especially if you clamp your pistol in a vise of some sort so that there's no gun movement while your measuring. IMHO, you really don't need much more accuracy unless you're checking in at a CMP or NRA match where they're checking trigger pulls with the precision weight system. I'm usually more interested in trigger "feel" characteristics.

I have the new model of the Lyman. It seems to work great. " Repeatable " I have nothing but the old spring gauge to compare it to. And it sucks.

I use this one. It has been very reliable and I have verified the readings with a local smith's Lyman digital.
