[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Trigger pull scales?

Posted: 1/19/2017 4:38:38 PM EDT

Thinking about grabbing a trigger pull scale after changing out the connector on one of my Glocks. My use? I just do shit on my own guns, not my day job.

The digital ones worth it? I see a manual spring one for $20. The digital ones for fiddy. Of the digital ones, the Wheeler looks nice with the sensor right there at the trigger and it folds over for storage.

I currently have the RCBS recording scale and like it.

I've got a wheeler manual version with spring - the first one you link to - it's more or less like a fish scale. It seems very inconsistent to me. I should have ordered a digital one.

I have the Lyman, I've had it for years, but I don't remember paying 50 bucks for it!
Must have got it on sale, I don't recall.

I have the wheeler in the first link. I always do 3-5 tests and take the average. Not super precise but it will definitely show the difference between different connectors.

I have the rcbs fish scale, at that time the Lyman electronic didn't exist, one of these days that's what I'll buy.
