I tested a bunch of my handgun triggers by weight

[Pappabear]

I tested a bunch of my handguns and my sons...triggers by weight. I wanted to test now and see if years later they lightened up. And just for curiosity. I also noticed that if I pulled the Lymans trigger tester slowly it showed a pound or two minimum more heavy. Vs driving straight through and I would have thought the opposite.

Handgun Trigger pulls by weight

HK P30 L Langdon Tactical 7.66/3.9 Lbs

HK P30 light LEM 5.4lbs

HK P30SK Light LEM 3.1 LBS

HK VP9 L with HK parts upgrade trigger 3.10 Lbs

HK VP9 (stock) 4.0 Lbs

HK45 ( bought used , work done ) 8.2/3.0 Lbs

Sig Legion X5 3.15 Lbs

Sig Spectre 3.16 Lbs

Sig Legion P226 SAO 3.5 Lbs

Sig P22 Legion DA/SA 8.6/4.3 Lbs

Beretta 92, M9 ( a little work done at Wilson) 8.4/3.0 Lbs

Beretta 92, M9A4 6.5/3.2 Lbs (surprised me)

Stacatto P DUO 3.14Lbs

I didn't do any Revos or 1911's.

And here i thought I was an outlier, with 3 polymer hand guns running crisp trigger pulls of 3.5 lbs.
Nice selection by the way!

I should do the same, we'd have quite a bit of overlap to compare.

- I think the only L-LEM upgrade I did was on my P30, but can't remember off the top of my head.
- I also can't remember exactly how many SRT's I have installed in my Sig's, so it would be a re-learning exercise.
- I too, did a Wilson trigger job on my 92 Inox, so there is a ton of overlap between us.

You have excellent taste.

I just finished fully tearing apart the slides of my Sig's and giving them the ultrasonic cleaning treatment then a bath in kerosene.

My '85 W. German P220 came out Super clean, had some cosmoline looking stuff all over the FP and caked in the channel.

Thanks man. I like a wide variety of guns.

That’s an old school blaster. Nice.

Love those triggers.

Which do you shoot best PB (“pretty is as pretty does”)??
“Best” defined as; “most accurately, rapidly”.

Nearly all of mine are substantially below minimum pull weight recommendation for Carry guns, but I’m used to them.

I would check how far back the hammer travels on that M9A4.

A light double action pull can be the trigger bar not allowing the hammer to cam back far enough to get more tension on the mainspring. It’ll cause light strikes eventually.

Good question!

Hope you don’t mind me adding some of my data to this PB. I took the average of at least 5 readings using my Lyman electronic trigger pull gauge. Mine are mostly 100% stock.

(I shoot them all well.)

I’ll edit this as I gather data.

SIG:

MK18: 7# 5.5 oz
P226 MK25: 10# 5.0 oz / 4# 9.1 oz
P220 Legion: 11# 2.5 oz / 5# 14.0 oz
P220 ‘85 W. Ger.: >12# / 4# 12.0 oz
P938: 7# 12.0 oz

Upon reflection the longer list looked too much like a partial inventory.

Less is more.
