What is a 'good' trigger pull?

All the rest is measured by the TriggerScan system. I suggest looking at the previously referenced study of Korth firearms by Veit Morgenroth for examples of its output.

Of course, one is certainly limited by very expensive replacement parts, and hard to modify parts as well... Plus on top of all that, the design doesn't really lend itself to modification very well, as there is plenty of "In & out" as well as "back & forth" to contend with...

I don't buy these cavils in view of W+F having managed to reduce "In & out" and "back & forth" well enough to win the 1949 ISSF World Championship. I further submit that a properly tuned two-stage Luger trigger will have a much crisper sear engagement than a similarly prepared single-stage M1911.
