What is a normal trigger pull weight on a Uberti Colt Walker? I recently acquired a used Uberti Colt Waker from a local pawn shop. The trigger pull weight is around 2 lbs. as measure on my Lyman trigger pull scale. In the hand, it doesn't take much at all to drop the hammer, only a light touch. This seems too light to me as I would prefer around a 4 pound trigger.
Is there a way to increase to pull weight on these guns?
By the way, I'm usually very good about inspecting guns before purchasing, but not being familiar cap and ball guns, I missed the fact that the previous owner had buggered up the barrel lug that mates to the frame on this specimen. Now I'm concerned he did his own trigger job as well resulting in a too light trigger. I ended up buying a replacement barrel and wedge and tightening the wedge slot by adding a brass shim. Now, all seems well except the trigger weight.
