New guy question on trigger pull

majbjd · 01-24-2013, 05:46 PM

I have a DWM 1913 9mm I got back in 1999. I started shooting it recently and am having an odd trigger pull. The trigger pull measures 64 oz. on a gauge and when dry fired with a snap cap it feels like a 4 lb pull, very similar to my 1911 .45 match gun. However, when fired with live ammo the pull is very light, feels less than the 2.5 lb pull on my S&W Mod 41 .22 match gun. It is what I would call a "hair trigger".
Is there some quirk in the Luger trigger system that would cause this or do I have a problem that needs to be fixed. I know 1911 triggers that get too light can cause the gun to double fire.
