A double action revolver will have a very long and hard trigger pull. Revolvers typically do not have external safety mechanisms so the long, hard trigger pull acts as the safety. Your trigger finger is extended along the frame of the gun until you have sighted your target and are ready to shoot. See gun safety rules.

To measure the trigger pull force, the tester cocks the weapon (making sure it is unloaded first), simply fastens the hook end to the trigger and pulls the gauge backwards until the trigger releases the firing mechanism. The tester simply adds weights until the trigger releases. Simple and easy to perform.

All full-sized and compact Glocks have a trigger pull measuring approximately twenty-four newtons, or 5.39 pounds, versus twenty-eight newtons of force, or 6.29 pounds of force for smaller, concealed carry Glock handguns. Other handguns, particularly double-action handguns, have much heavier trigger pulls.

Most striker-fired semiauto pistols have trigger pull weights that range from 5 to 7 pounds, and these triggers generally have some take-up.

Trigger weight is the amount of force that is required to pull the trigger, which fires the gun. Experts in Glock pistols say that the ideal trigger weight is somewhere between 4 and 6 pounds, with variances on either side depending on personal preference and the firearm you are shooting.

Trigger Pull Weight for a Handgun This is a very good question and one that does not get addressed properly in the gun media. The following are my thoughts on the subject: > As a general rule, a serious use pistol should have a trigger no lighter than 4 pounds and ideally no more than 6 pounds.

What does trigger pull 28 N mean? The Newton is the unit of force in the metric system. 1 lb = 4.448 N, so 28N = 6.3 lb. So this means all Glock factory triggers are 6.3 lbs.

Double-action triggers provide the ability to fire the gun whether the hammer is cocked or uncocked. This feature is desirable for military, police, or self-defense pistols.

When people talk about guns having “too light” a trigger pull, what they fail to realize is that “light” has no specific definition in the first place. Factory guns can have trigger pulls ranging anywhere from under four to more than 12 pounds.

I have a K9 I would like to upgrade. We do not offer a trigger bar for the Kahr pistols, just a trigger and guides, the Steel frame units are a little different than the polymer also. Not a question, but oh well. I used a straight pick tool to install the locking plate, instead of the pin.

The mechanism includes a pivoting trigger and trigger bar like the Glock system, but instead of interfacing directly with the striker, Kahr added a cam and the result is a buttery smooth and light pull. Compared to a Glock pistol the Kahr has a longer, smoother trigger pull similar to a true double-action handgun.

We found that to be a fitting name for the trigger that would be our flat faced entry into the Kahr series. Made from Aircraft Grade Aluminum for longevity and now available hard anodized in Black or Red.

Compared to a Glock pistol the Kahr has a longer, smoother trigger pull similar to a true double-action handgun. Kahr’s pistols can be used for concealed-carry, backup on the job, home defense and even competition. They have models chambered for the most popular cartridges, .380 and .45 ACP, 9mm Luger and .40 S&W.
