    Just got one. Had just about every gun I own out trying it out. :geek:

    If you're considering one, get it.

    According to my Lyman, my Huber two stage pulls at 2lbs. 4.4 oz. According to Huber's super machine, it came to me at 2.266. That's nearly spot on for the Lyman.

    My factory Tikka TacA1 two stage is at 1lb. 9oz.. The 1st stage is 13 oz. and the break just snaps and very little to no over travel. I think I can still turn it down a bit more and no Yo Dave spring installed. It really is a fantastic factory trigger.

    I have one. One odd thing I've noticed is that on different guns (mostly bolt rifles, AR-15s, 1911s, and 2011s) very similar trigger weights feel very different. Part of that might be that I shoot the pistols left handed and rifles right handed, though.

    When I first got mine, I didn't realize that you have to ready it before each measurement, so I was pulling and pulling and never got a proper reading. I ended returning that one, and when the second one had the same problem, I opened up that book that came with it.

    I find the break point and then pull very carefully when I reach it as not to over pull. I also noticed that weight and break are very different animals.
