Heartbreaker 1,085 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I recently purchased a trigger pull gauge (this one, https://www.amazon.com/G-P-S-Aluminum-Firearm-Trigger-Scale/dp/B00D79V6UY for a $20 gauge it works great) and got to work measuring all my triggers. Here's the average pull (rounded to quarter pounds), and some notes. Ruger SR9 6.5# (with Ghost bar and spring kit. Long pull, kinda draggy) GP100 SA 1.75# DA 7.75# (lightest Wolff springs. Crisp break) Mini 14 4.5# (stock. I was surprised how light this pulled, it has a ton of slightly gritty creep and a mushy break) 10/22 5# (stock. Some creep, not great) Scout 18" SS 1.5# (Spec-Tech. Excellent trigger) Mossberg 590 7# (stock. Not great, but eh. It's a shotgun) Henry H001 3.25# (stock. Very nice trigger) S&R K31 3.75# (stock. Lots of take-up by design, crisp break) Izhmash Saiga 12 3.5# (Tapco G2 with a trigger job. Very nice trigger) AR15 4.5# (Geissele SSA. Excellent trigger) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sim_Player 1,939 Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 I never considered any heavy trigger pull to be a good thing. I like revolvers but, the trigger weight always seems too heavy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,931 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 I think he is referring to double action on his Nagant Gas Seal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
