Religious Shooter Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Didn't see a poll on this. Just wondering... While shooting the breeze at our A2 hotel room two of my squadmates basically said I had a heavy and (therefore a) slow to break trigger on my Limited gun. During the match I broke away too early from a couple of targets. I'm toying with the idea of getting the trigger redone to potentially reduce this. (And yes... I know practice and calling the shots better will also help. Just humor me. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireant Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I like a 2.5 all around. Light enough to be quick, but won't go off if I sneeze after LAMR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckS Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I used to be a 2.5 guy until I had a single stack built a few years back where the smith got a bit carried away and delivered just under 2.0. It wore into a really sweet 1.75. Now all my 1911 pattern pistols are there. That ain't gonna fix the follow through challenged tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I want one that goes off when my mind says "Bang". Absent that I love my TS at about 1.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jostein jensen Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 2 pounds all round. Too light I can't prep it properly I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike cyrwus Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 (edited) this freaks me out; I shoot no less than a 3# trigger, Ive never really seen any problems arise for me when I break the shot. Can I, will I benefit from a sub 3# trigger? I slap the trigger, I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Youd think a light trigger would benefit a slapper. edit: my splits are PLENTY fast and if I concentrate, I have no real accuracy problems.

HSMITH Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I run mid 3# on my Open and Limited guns. Anything over about 3.25 and under about 5.5# is good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hey where's the Revolver Weights???? Open (when I last shot it .38 Super Jet Comped Caspian Hi-Cap in 1994) was 2.00 Lbs. Limited (New .40 S&W STI Benny Blaster) I've got the pull at 2.00 Lbs., but 2.25 Lbs is fine. SS/L10 (Done by myself, a .45 and a .400 Cor-Bon) at 2.50 Lbs. with no follows/doubles. Production (Glock) is at 4.25 Lbs. with spring changes. Can go lower (had it down to 3.25 Lbs.) but like the rebound better at 4.25 Lbs. Revolver (by Randy Lee) was at 3.75 Lbs., but was too light to get used to, now at 5.25 Lbs. with strong rebound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cheely Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 2.5 - 2.75 for me. I like to feel my trigger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chp5 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I shoot Glocks in LTD and Prod and use a 5# connector. After some polishing, etc, they get around slightly lighter. The 3.5# is just too mushy for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Elliott Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 19/2011 = 25 oz. Tanfoglio = 32 oz (feels like 24). Both set up for plenty of reset pressure, since I don't slap and I like to always feel the sensation of the trigger surface in contact with the finger pad.

Michael Carlin Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 The minimum weight for Service Pistol in the Army was four pounds when I was shooting. I always set mine up to about 4.25 just to be sure mine made the weight. I shot these weights for 25 years. The values you wanted specified are both 4.25 lbs.
