What is a 'good' trigger pull?

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,
