My P-10 I just bought used, a question.

I’ve heard that for a striker fired pistol the P-10 has a very nice trigger and I would agree.

I just put my Wheeler trigger gauge on it and it consistently breaks at 2 1/2 lbs. now this isn’t the best trigger gauge I will admit, but are guys getting pull weights like this?

That's a really low pull weight. I have CGW triggers in both of my P10s and they break around 4lbs. 2.5lbs is way too light for anything other than a competition pistol.

Perhaps someone modified the striker and/or replaced the factory striker spring with a much lighter one.  My opinion--replace the striker and spring.  Again, just my opinion, the gun is not safe.  I have 3 P-10's and have tried several aftermarket strikers/spring combinations.  None are that light.  The standard CGW P-10 replacement striker works great with a factory trigger bar, lightly polished.

I removed the striker and then pulled the striker spring off.

I have no idea, nor could I find, the OEM dimensions online to compare it to. I ended up ordering a new one from Cajun Gun Works which will get here later this week.

Thanks for the responses guys!

Both of mine break around 5lbs with an Overwatch Precision shoe… That sounds like a lot, but the break is so crisp and consistent that it feels much lighter than it reads.

What scale is the best for determining pull weight, if the Wheeler is substandard?

I’m not saying it’s that substandard (it will do the job), but it’s very basic and all plastic with a scale that’s just a sticker. It’s just very basic, compared to some others. The Lyman digital is far more advanced and has a roller on the trigger hook unlike the Wheeler. Of course the price difference is pretty good between the two. I just couldn’t justify paying the difference.

If I were still competitively shooting, I would go with the Lyman. The Wheeler only goes to 8 lbs as well, which I think is too light and it should go heavier.

I finally got my CGW striker spring and after installation it now breaks at 4 lbs. it’s still a nice crisp break but at a safer weight.

Thanks guys!
