RileyLV Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 For those of you who shoot a Steel gun, what is your preferred trigger pull weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyman1876 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 2lbs for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzo357 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Just under 2lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racinready300ex Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I'm happy with 2.0-2.5 lbs. My open guns is just under 2 but I don't know that it really helps me any being that light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 2.5 in single action for my Tanfo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 My Tactical Sports and Czechmate are right about 1 1/2# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 My TS was 1.5# and my Atlas Titan is 1.75#. My STI Trojan was 3.0#. Anything near 2 seems to be pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACree Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Of course safety and reliability are a must, but a 2 pound trigger is a good place to start. I would argue that most people only notice the difference in triggers ranging from sub 2 to 2.5 or so pounds when they are dry firing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himurax13 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 As long as the trigger pull is smooth, grit and creep free, anything under 2.5 lbs works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanks Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 1.8 lbs for both of my guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 2lbs 4oz is my optimal trigger pull weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowb1rd Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) My CZ Shadow is 6lbs DA and 2.25lbs SA. Super smooth and crisp. A dream to shoot Edited November 7, 2017 by Snowb1rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touji Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 When I first started shooting, I honestly thought anything about 2# was impossible to shoot. Since then, I've been shooting stock Glocks for a little while and it's made a stock SP-01 trigger seem quite bearable. More so than weight, I find the predictability of the trigger break more important than the trigger pull weight, but anything at or around 3# seems to work for me these days.

waktasz Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 2.19 pounds. No more, no less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titandriver Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 1 hour ago, waktasz said: 2.19 pounds. No more, no less. Dunno - I'm thinkin' 2.16987654321 is the ne plus ultra of trigger pull weight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushki25 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 My favorite trigger measures at 1.75 pounds but I think a crisp trigger is more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dranoel Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Both of mine are at 22oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 23oz But that's as light as I can get my M&P. Not a steel gun but might as well be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10X Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I'm using 2 lbs rimfire, 3.5 lbs centerfire, but that's driven more by what is needed to keep them legal for bullseye. I don't have a dedicated steel gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaques Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 My rimfire rifle is set at 8 ounces and my USPSA 2011 is set at 1.5lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHAVEGAS Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 A very nicely done short, crisp, & clean 1911 works well at 3-4 lbs. Bought a Les Baer stock (3.5 - 4 lb) & never had any desire to change it. Something not quite as nice otherwise, (CZ75, Tanfo, most 1911's, etc) 2-3 . For me.

Yeti Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Personal choice for 1911/2011's is 2 - 2.5# but quality and repeatability is everything. No mush or vague feel. Modest pre-travel, super clean break, & short reset. Shot some excellent 4# triggers that had really nice quality. Always wanted them lower after measuring, though. Felt like they were much lower than actual.... if done well it can be a fooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbu Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Anything under 1.5 is too low (especially for transfer to weak hand only etc). Anything over about 3 is too high. Triggers inbetween are good with smoothness, crispness and predictable behavior determining good, better and best. Mine run just under 2 in sa.

ngodwetrust21 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I like the SA trigger around 2lbs for a match gun. I actually prefer to practice with a trigger a little heavier than that though. Helps keep me honest about proper trigger control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
