If this is not consistent with the General forum feel free to move it.
So I ordered a Lyman trigger gauge yesterday and it showed up today. I was like a kid in a candy shop. Only tried a couple of guns but am anxious to test everything I have.
My wife's new PPS M2 averaged 5.5lbs. My G17 gen 4 with a stock trigger save for the .25 job measured around 3.5lbs average. My $99 Savage B64 from Wally World with a Mcarbo trigger kit measured around 2.5lbs. My old used Marlin 81 which I knew had a extremely light trigger measured an average of 10 oz. I haven't done anything to it but it really is scary light.
All measurements were using a bench vise and middle to bottom of trigger, straight back.
So, what tips do you have using this gauge and what are some of your pulls your proud of?
I still have many guns I want to try out...
