Typical 92 trigger pull?

Post by kydave »

I just saw a post where someone was talking about a new 92 having a 4.5 lb pull... I got to thinking that the new-to-me (probably early '80s) 92 I just picked up felt pretty good. So I pulled out the old trigger scale and it hit right at 3 lb.

Which is more typical? Does it seem like mine might have had work? It looks like a closet queen and I doubt that it has been fired enough to have smoothed out that much (if 4.5 is typical new).

Inquiring minds want to know.

Thanks

My old model was lighter than typical too. Now it's lighter than it was.

I am not certain I'm a great judge of trigger pull weights and rarely gage mine.

I do know however that my old Match Garand should be right about 4.5# because any less tends to be unsafe.
Since a Garand isn't exactly a lightweight hunting rifle and it IS a two stage trigger it doesn't feel half bad even at that weight.
