The question of trigger weights has
come up for double action revolvers.
Some argue it's not the weight but
how smooth and easy the trigger
pulls. Others seem to like a light
DA pull.
For me, the "ideal" DA weights can
be somewhere between 8 or 8.5 pounds
and about 11 pounds, even sometimes
12 pounds. This is for Ruger GP100s
and Smith 686s or a K-frame Model 19
or 15. Recently bought another GP100
and the DA pull was smooth and from
the factory 9.5 pounds.
Just watched a video in which a spring
manufacturer touted an action job on a
Ruger SP101 where the end result was
4.5 pounds in DA. I contend that's too
light for a defense pistol and for just
general safety.
Just wondering where some of our THR
members fall, so what say you?
