Ok, so I bought a lyman trigger gauge and decided to measure my revolvers. Here is the data first
Diamondback 38 SA 4lb 8.3 DA 9 lbs 3.5 oz
Python 357 SA 4lb 14.8 DA 10lbs 14.0 oz
S&W 38/44 SA 2lb 15.8 DA 10lbs 11.5 oz
DW MD-15 357 SA 3lb 15.0 DA 11lbs 4.0 oz
S&W K22 mast. SA 3lb 10.0 DA 10lbs 9.0 oz
DW 722 SA 5lb 6.0 DA Greater then 12 lbs (lyman max).
Ok my question is this about what they should be? I noted that the two 50's S&W's were less then 4 lbs SA along with the DW (Monson) MD-15. They seem the nicest as I was testing them.
First off is the 38/44 to light for safety? It is very smooth, but it sure is light (very consistent from chamber to chamber).
Also the gun I have shot the most, the Diamondback has the lowest DA weight. I assume this is because I almost always shoot it DA?
Anyway, I am just looking for insight into the data. Tomorrow I will try all of the 38/357s at the range to see how I do.
