useing the tool can get 'sticky' too If you put the tip point way out on the trigger it will read light if you let it pull quick it will read light.

even a $25 tool can give an acurate read

I don't trust gauges for an accurate reading, I use weights instead.

The tricky part is still where on the trigger to apply the weight, especially with revolver triggers and other DA triggers which are curved.

I use a trigger weight with a roller that rides on the trigger.

The drawback is of course that you can only measure in preset steps according to the calibrated weights at hand.

brownells has several tools forthe job, do it 2 or 3 times to get a 'feel' for the trigger break and take an 'average', also for a more consistent trigger weight on the guage, clamp the gun in some sort of vise, dont do the gun in 1 hand and guage in the other pulling in opposite directions, waaaay too many varibles in that method

I like to use my Lyman trigger scale. It is bet when taking an average.

I try to check the lbs. on the same spot that I put

my finger to pull the trigger

Digital Lyman and use a 10 pull average.
