Yesterday I posted some trigger pull measurements of some of my handguns. After seeing those results, I was curious as to how the rest of my handguns compared.
For each handguns, I measured trigger pull by averaging out 5 pull results. I also posted low measurements for the majority of them.
Here are the results:
Bersa Thunder 380 Plus –DA – 7lb even, with a low of 6lb 4oz
SA – 3lb 10oz, with a low of 3lb 9oz
Beretta PX4 Storm Compact –DA – 9lb 4oz, with a low of 8lb 15oz
SA – 3lb 12oz, with a low of 3lb 3oz
Springfield Armory XD9 Mod.2 Subcompact – 4lb 9oz average, with a low of 4lb 6oz
Ruger SR9C –5lb 7oz, with a low of 5lb 1oz
Glock 19 –5lb 5oz average with a low of 5lb even
SIG Sauer P320 Compact –5lb 7oz average with a low of 5lb 3oz
Metro Arms American Classic Commander (1911) – 2lb 15oz average with a low of 2lb 8oz (!!)
I had no idea that 1911 would measure that low. It’s one of three 1911s that I own, but it’s also one of the best that I own. I knew it was good but didn’t know the trigger would generate such a low measurement. I’ll update this page later tonight with the results of the triggers of the other two 1911s, just to compare all three of them.
UPDATE:
I measured my 1911s:
Rock Island Armory MS 1911 (22tcm) – 2lb 12oz average with a low of 2lb 10oz
Rock Island Armory MS 1911 (9mm) – 3lb 13oz average with a low of 3lb 8 oz
UPDATE 2:
I measured my Glock 22 Gen 3 police trade-in (has a 5 lb trigger):
Glock 22 Gen 3 (40 S&W) – 4lb 10.8oz average of 5 with a low of 4lb 4.9oz
Springfield Armory XD45 Mod.2 Subcompact – 5lb 0.1oz average with a low of 4lb 10oz
