And, of course, a luger with .020" slop between the cannon ass'y and frame would not be a cantidiate for this type of work!!! ...... As mentioned earlier.. it just takes a crap pot full of parts, and time, and money, and all three escape me! ... .. I've seen it before.. in just about evey thing i ever tried to compete in.. ....Best to you Michael, til...lat'r...GT

I won't argue with anything of that, Gerald. All I can say is that the best Luger trigger pull I have experienced is on a factory target pistol with a stock sear geometry. Here is a record I made with a Lyman electronic trigger gauge, of trigger pull averaged over 10 measurements:

• 7.63x25mm Borchardt C93 SN 1774: 2.59kg
• 9mm Para Krieghoff P08 SN 3249: 3.48kg.
• 7.65mm Para W+F P06/1929 National Match SN 59951: 2.64kg
• 7.65mm Para W+F P06/1929 National Match SN 65721: 2.15kg
• 7.65mm Para W+F P06/1929 SN 71644: 3.80kg
• 7.65mm Para W+F P06/1929 SN 77493: 2.57kg
• 9mm Para SIG P49 SN A204931: 2.88kg
• 9mm Para SIG P49 SN A156213: 2.90kg
• 9mm Para SIG P49 SN A107159: 2.75kg
• 9mm Para SIG P49 SN A105553: 2.56kg
• 9mm Para SIG P210-2 SN P74064: 1.86kg
• 9mm Para SIG P210-1 SN P77209: 1.94kg
• 7.65mm Para SIG P210-6HF SN P79103: 1.24kg
• 9mm Para SIG P210-6HF SN P79136: 1.82kg
• 9mm Para SIG P210-6HF SN P79608: 1.20kg
• 9mm Para SIG P210-6HF SN P79609: 1.23kg
• 9mm Para SIG P210-2 SN P79980: 1.67kg
• 9mm Para SIG P210-6 SN P86618: 1.78kg

All are double pull, with a very crisp stage transition (Druckpunkt). You can tell which guns have been resprung.
