Trigger Weight: Putting your trigger on a diet!

Article Index:
Checking the scales:

At right, you can see an image of the HUGE bag of cases that it took to pull the trigger on my Glock 22. The weight was determined using the OHAUS Triple Beam scale. My goal of course is to empty that bag!

Keep in mind, that you can't really compare the measurements I am obtaining with this system with your average trigger scale. I won't go into great detail about he physics involved, but I think it is safe to say that I would likely get lower load figures using a trigger scale. In addition, I believe that figures obtained using a system similar to this one are significantly more accurate.

I suspect many of the 2, 3 and 4 pound figures I have seen bandied about based on the "Acme" trigger scale are woefully inaccurate and understated.

Below, I have begun a table containing load values, trigger modifications, and comments. I will update this table as I complete each modification.
