Trigger pull gauge

[Healthservices]

So it seems all my triggers are a little different when it comes to pull weight. I have a newer gun I had a hard problem playing and setting the trigger to something I was used to already, which is light. Very light. So I was going to buy a lyman and started shopping for one. I go to Amazon because it was quick and easy. Well not if you find out there are other designs! Apparently there is this inexpensive $20 one that works pretty good. So I thought I buy it.

Well maybe good if you are looking for a pull weight above a pound or two but not if it is lower than 9 or 10oz. And the increments seem to be too big.

So I bought a Lyman and it will read down to 0.1 oz! It will even average the last 10 pulls as well.

This unit even thought it was twice as expensive is well worth it if you want to measure light trigger pulls. I think this is probably as good as it gets but maybe someone has found something better?

Oh I also found out that Midway currently has the best prices on this unit.

Love my Lyman, no complaints so haven't bothered to see how I can spend more $$

I probably should have asked before buying the cheapy unit.

You have made a wise choice. I have been very happy with my Lyman for a long time now.

There are gauges that measure to the fractions of an ounce for much more money but no reason to apply them here. The Lyman digital is a great tool.

If you’re bored you can check accuracy by picking up different weights tied to a thread.

This is how we used to check for minimum trigger pull years ago.

My Lyman has been great as well. I haven't looked around for something else to replace it.

Spend more, get more, Lyman.

My Lyman was well worth the money

Mental note, only buy a Lyman. TY

Just ordered a Lyman, thanks.

Great post, I frequently buy cheap and sometimes I regret it. I didn't buy anything to measure my trigger pull, however. I use my digital fish scale. Reads in ounces and seems to work well. I use the same thing to weigh the squirrels I take. I like data - but only dependable data is really useful.

Still use the old Wheeler spring gauge.

Lyman, Lyman, Lyman!

I agree, trigger pull gauges are a nice piece of kit. I have a soft spot for Wheeler gear so I have their model. I really like the average feature over a series of pulls, that is a great feature. I used it to tune all my springer triggers down to right around a pound, really like the consistency! Well worth the cost.
