Wheeler Manual Trigger Pull Scale with 8oz to 8lb Value Range for Gunsmithing, Shooting Competitions, and Trigger Adjustments

This is the simplest way of getting an accurate reading on the pull weight. The device is uncomplicated and works nicely. Hard to think how one can do trigger adjustments without it. Great value for money,

This is a quality trigger pull scale that does the same job as units 2-3 times the cost. This Wheeler trigger pull scale got good reviews online so I decided to give it a try, and i'm glad that I did.I like how consistent/repeatable it is. I can do 10 pulls in a row and have 8/10 be the EXACT same measurement. The other 2/10 will be within 2 ounces which is pretty darn good. It is easy to use, and you don't have to put the gun in a vise to obtain consistent results. I have no standard for comparison, but it seems accurate within reason. It's definitely not way off. My trigger jobbed 1911 came in at 2.5 lbs, trigger jobbed Beretta Elite II was 2.8 lbs SA, close to stock Beretta 92FS 4 lbs SA, stock Glock 22 6 lbs. Works for both single and double action trigger pulls provided they are below 8 lbs (DA on my worked Beretta Elite II is 5.5 lbs). The printed scale and indicator is easy to read in 2 ounce increments. Very simple to make out 1/2 and 1/4 pound increments unlike other scales.Solid construction, doesn't feel cheap. Has a nice thick rubber coated end so it won't scratch your gun. I slipped one time and it didn't leave a mark. Some other scales have rubber pads, but exposed metal ends that can scratch, so +1 to the Wheeler for that. Operation is very smooth while using it. The internal spring appears robust and makes for reliable and consistent operation (it's just a calibrated spring so it's dummy proof).Amazon shipped the unit very quickly. If you are looking for a quality non-electronic scale at an awesome price point, look no further than this Wheeler trigger pull scale. A very nice tool to have if you work on your guns, or are just curious about your pull weights.

I cannot speak on the actual accuracy of this scale, but it says it is accurate to +/-2 ounces. I do not have another calibrated scale to test this side by side. With that being said, I don't really need to know if my single action trigger pull is 2.6 ounces or 2.7 ounces. I need to know what it is relative to the last time I tested it. I need to know what it was before I polished internal trigger components and what it was once I finished. I need to know that everything is working fine after I completely disassemble a gun and then put it back together. Did I reassemble the trigger assembly properly?I have also been using this trigger pull scale to gauge when I need to clean my gun. Once I started competitive shooting I gave up my old routine of cleaning the gun after every trip to the range. When you practice 2-4 days a week and shoot a match on the weekends, cleaning it almost every day gets old fast. Using the trigger pull scale I can now see when the trigger tension starts creeping upwards indicating I need to clean it. Right now it seems to need cleaning about every 1,500 rounds. In the summer that is 1-2 times a week. Sure the gun looks a bit dirtier, but it functions flawlessly even with large numbers of rounds through it.I shot a match a couple of weeks ago and at one point I was running past some targets and shooting extra shots to ensure I got my hits. On one of the targets the gun shot faster than I was pulling the trigger. I tested it when I got home and the usual 2lbs 14oz trigger was reading very inconsistently. I pulled everything apart to check for wear on the sear (got a new one coming) and when I cleaned it all up and put it back together the single action pull is now 2lbs even. That is a bit too light for me. So this gun will sit until the replacement parts arrive. But the good thing was I felt something was wrong with the trigger pull, just seemed different, and the trigger pull scale verified it for me.Its a handy tool. When I first got it I expected to use it very rarely. Turns out I am using it quite regularly now.

Works well, but it would be better if it was capable of more like 11 pounds or so for OEM double action triggers. Worked fine to measure post-upgrade trigger pull weight, but I was unable to measure original double action trigger pull weight.

Works very well

This is a common and inexpensive trigger gauge. It is only accurate to .2 lbs per mark on the gauge, but it's easy to use, and that accuracy is good enough. If I remember correctly, the gauge only goes up to 8 lbs trigger pull. After changing springs the trigger pull on a Ruger LCP II 22 went up to 7.8 which I felt decreased the accuracy of shots significantly compared to a 2.8 lb trigger pull on my P17. So I switched to an MCarbo trigger spring package which reduced the trigger pull by about two lbs to 5.8 on the LCP II which might just have to be good enough. All the cool people have trigger pull gauges!

Fit and finish look surprisingly good for a trigger-pull gauge costing less than 20 bucks. The pull mounts smoothly and leaves behind a marker at the maximum weight attained. There's nothing fancy about this gauge, but it should suffice for anyone needing a +/- 2-ounce reading of where their trigger is breaking. Also, since this gauge maxes out at 8 pounds, it might very well come up short for measuring double-action handgun triggers, which often break at up to 10 or 12 pounds. But if your need is for measuring less than 8 pounds of pull and you're okay with 2 ounces either way, this gauge is pretty hard to beat for the money.
