I have always been curious as to the accuracy of the Wheeler Trigger Pull Scale. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004E4CZE2/?tag=1911fans-20)
I took an empty milk carton, filled it approx half way to get 4# total weight as per my digital postal scale (assuming this scale is reasonably accurate, of course). Attaching a string to the milk carton handle, I gently lifted it off the counter with the wheeler. The wheeler gave me a reading of 4# 3oz. Did it again at approx 3# 8oz of water and wheeler came in at approx. 3# 10oz.
So, the wheeler is measuring approx 2-3 ounces more than my actual trigger pull weight on my pistols. I guess this makes for an instant trigger job !!!!
Has anyone else double checked their Wheeler Trigger Pull Scale ?
