Light trigger...prove it.

[Vana2]

Rather than a light trigger I prefer the right trigger.

A light trigger makes sense on a 10 meter target pistol that is shot off hand, not so much on a heavy bench rifle supported front and back. The pistol takes very little force to be pulled off target where you have to be (relatively) rough to disturb the bench rifle.

Think that the weight should be set to safe levels for the appropriate application.

For the most of us going supper light on the trigger is just going to result in more "pulled" shots when the gun goes of before we are ready... and nobody wants it to go off prematurely eh?

The factory settings on most of my airguns are pretty good. The only concern has been my HM1000x, I find it to be unnecessarily light - and I'm used to some very light triggers on my 10 meter airguns.

IMHO, trigger control and trigger discipline should be learned before lightning trigger weight. A light trigger won't fix poor form.

Cheers!

Triggers set up as SINGLE STAGE and using a button type contact are the BOMB !!! The contact area is VERY small & you can feel it against your finger tip pre break point ..... set as such a conventional curved "Blade" is too vague covering too much finger area and the break or really having a feel is soooooo light it does indeed honestly not work well at all.

Here a button type.
The O.D. about 3/8" and the raised "Button" that allows finger sensing and position @ .125" at base to an @ .080" rounded tip.
Trigger pull weight give or take 2 ounces set as a single stage and very intuitive in using
* You can rest your finger on it and know your on it !!! ... pressure beyond feeling the contact pressure it fires & it's Just sublime.

I only measured one trigger in my life, and that was because it took crazy effort to fire it.
I hung weights on it until it fired and measured 18 pounds. That was on my first 10/22 in 1970, and preceded my first trigger job.

I have three rifles and six pistols with very light pulls. Using a Wheeler digital gauge my FWB 602 ssp rifle comes in at about 1.7 ounces, the FWB 300s probably double that , then a couple of IZH 46m pistols in lower single digit ounces. FWB 65's and 80's probably around 3-4 oz each, been a while since I tested them.
