Test fired FN 1900 in range

Sorry for the poor picture, it's taken from my phone.

Yes. It's the same one. That's the only 1900 that I've ever owned. The slide was so tight, I bet it has never been disassembled before. I disassembled it two days ago. After soaking the slide in kroil for 24 hours, I still had to use a pine wood block to tap the back of the slide multiple times, and pull the slide, release it, pull the slide release it.... finally, I was able to take the slide off. The darn thing was like new inside.

What's the formal device to measure trigger pull? I need one.

Also fired 100 rounds from a Norinco Tokarev today. Look and feel, handle and firing, Tokarev is too modern, except it's single action, not much fun. All Norinco TT-33s that I have fired have one thing in common, including this one -- the trigger pull is good at the beginning, but after 50-60 rounds, the pull becomes obviously heavier, and the situation becomes worse and worse, after 100 rounds, gun has to be re-oiled. Otherwise, it's very uncomfortable to shoot. I did not have gun oil with me today, so I stopped at 100 rounds.

Is this Norinco specific, or TT-33 common?? I have never tried a Soviet one, I don't know.

"Trigger Pull Gauge". Brownell's sells them. Probably Midway too.
