Looking to measure my trigger pad. It is too long and I need to order a shorter one but need to figure out what I have now.

How do I know what length I should have for my hand size?

Thanks

With the gun in a proper firing grip (grip safety centered in web between thumb and forefinger), you should be able to place the first joint of your trigger finger perpendicularly across the face of the trigger comfortably (i.e. without stretching).    A shorter trigger shoe is better than one that's too long.

I know they make multiple different lengths. But when a manufacturer states a length how are they measuring that length.

I don't think there's any standard spec.   The short should be comparable to the 1911A1 GI-style short trigger.  Most folks find the medium is plenty long enough.

My WC trigger is really long.

I have a Kimber Desert Warrior and really like the length of that trigger. Any clue what length the Desert Warrior trigger is?

Generally referred to as a "medium" trigger.

Brownell's lists many of the triggers they sell measured as overall length.
Just take yours out and compare it to what they sell.

Thanks guys.
I just talked to Wilson yesterday and confirmed that all the WC triggers with 3 holes are the "long" triggers.
So I will be sending it to WC to have a medium trigger fitted along with a few other things.

Thanks

put an infinity trigger system in it. then you can swap out what you want
