What is a 'good' trigger pull?

I like the feel of a light pull, why, too, I like set triggers! I think I'm less likely to pull the weapon off target then when firing with a heavy trigger. Bill

Yep, I actually had the honor to fire it a couple of weeks ago and the trigger is sweet! It's always difficult to "finger gauge" a slick trigger, but it felt like 3 lbs, maybe lighter. We'll check it next time.

My new to me alphabet Luger came to me almost unfired, just a tiny evidence where the toggle stop hit a few times. The trigger, using a snap cap and an actual weight setup (I learned to not trust the electronic scales, a shame because they are so easy to use. ) came out at 4.5 lbs. Someone mentioned a sticky about trigger work but I can't find it. My Mauser built in the 70's has a 7.7 lb trigger! It's my only shooter so I need to fix that.
Also, I read the ebook's info on it.
One thing I noticed about the alphabet commercial, the plunger is a very close, wiggle free fit. I suppose I can just use it's surfaces as a sample for the 70's P-08.
Can anyone tell me if they have used the Power Custom fixture effectively for any of this? Thanks,

I found a sticky "Cocking problem?", that must be it.

The official Swiss military trigger tuning procedure eliminated slack by adjusting the angle of an annealed trigger linkage lever with a special tool, heat-treating it afterwards. I have the tool, but not the instructions for its use. Note that, unlike its predecessors, the P06/29 exposes its trigger linkage via a cut in the sideplate. The Swiss Luger armorer's manual also contains instructions on stoning the sear for optimal engagement. My National Match W+F 06/29 Lugers appear to have been tuned accordingly.
