What is a 'good' trigger pull?

[Michael Zeleny]

As measured with the Lyman electronic trigger gauge, averaged over 10 pulls:
Swiss 06/1929 SN 71644: 3.80kg
Swiss 06/1929 SN 77493: 2.57kg
Swiss 06/1929 National Match SN 59951: 2.64kg
Swiss 06/1929 National Match SN 65721: 2.15kg

Thanks, Michael for posting the data. Couple weeks ago, Olle came to my place and 'shot' my Borchardt replica....with only a primered shell. He described it as a 'light pull'. We didn't get around to using his gauge to actually measure the pull. perhaps another day we'll meaure my Lugers, etc. and I'll post the results. 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.
