Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical trigger pull weight for a 1911 pistol?

While 1911s are known for excellent triggers, the actual pull weight can vary. The Remington 1911 R1 tested in this video had a pull weight of 4.5 lbs, which is considered very good for this platform.

How can I accurately measure my firearm's trigger pull weight?

You can accurately measure your firearm's trigger pull weight using a dedicated trigger pull gauge, such as the Wheeler Trigger Pull Scale shown in the video. This tool allows for precise measurements and consistency checks.

Are 1911 triggers generally better than Glock triggers?

Many shooters prefer 1911 and 2011 triggers for their crisp break and lighter pull weights, often around 4-5 lbs. Stock Glock triggers are typically heavier, around 5.5 lbs, and have a different feel, though they are known for reliability and consistency.

What does 'Single Action' mean for a firearm trigger?

A Single Action trigger means the hammer must be manually cocked before each shot. Pulling the trigger performs only one action: releasing the hammer to fire the round. This often results in a lighter, crisper trigger pull compared to Double Action triggers.
