Best Trigger Pull Scale

dakota1911 · Dec 4, 2018

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 calibrated mine against my highly trained and very sensitive trigger finger.

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.
