Wheeler Professional Digital Trigger Pull Gauge with 1 Oz Increments and Digital Display for Accurate Readings from 0-12 lbs

I tried this on factory guns that I knew the trigger weights of and got different numbers. I also would do multiple pulls on the same gun with the puller in the same spot on the trigger and get sometimes multiple pounds of variance. It maxes out at 12lb I believe, but even on a gun with a heavy DA pull, lets say 10lb, it will sometimes beep that its maxed out when it hasnt even reached 12lb (or maybe the gauge is just that far off). The head is clunky and doesnt fit inside some trigger guards. In DA, a lot of times the arm feels like its literally going to break off. Other than it being easy to read and easy to use (minus the clunkiness) this thing should not be trusted at all in terms of accuracy. I highly recommend avoiding it. Ive only had mine a couple months, but plan to replace it with a Lyman.

Works as stated. Does take getting use to.

Works well, a little clunky to use, but with a little practice you can get repeatable results.

Great tool if you’re a long range precision shooter.

Some double-action revolvers require more than 12 pounds so it would be nice if this could handle just one more pound.

I got this to measure pulls on competition rifle triggers. On my Anschutz and Brno rifles, the triggers are factory dialed in at 400 grams. They break so cleanly and with so little over-travel, that this gauge requires some practice to get accurate measurements. It basically works by measuring the highest pressure in the pull. In theory, when the trigger breaks, the pressure required drops suddenly which is your queue to stop pulling. That measurement at break is your trigger pull. If you dont stop pulling at the break, the value will keep increasing. Pull slow and steady and stop the precise moment you see/hear the break and youll get an accurate measurement. Like I said, on 400 grams, its tough. On some of my heavier triggers, its a lot easier. To winnow out the human factor, I do like the ability to average multiple pulls.

I have an accurate spring-type gauge but bought this for greater precision (I thought) and the built-in averaging feature. I found one in the Amazon Warehouse for a bit over 10% off. My spring-type gauge would give the same reading whether the trigger was pulled quickly or slowly- force is force, right? Well, not with the Wheeler. My rifle triggers are light (~1 to 1.5 lbs) and a very slow steady pull would read the same with both gauges, but would be half the spring-type value is the trigger was pulled more quickly. The Wheeler reads peak values so if anything Id expect a quick trigger pull to read higher if jerked back more than necessary to release the sear (which I did not do) or if the trigger was pulled all the way back until no more travel was possible. I returned the unit because there was no gain in accuracy or precision and the because of the puzzling results.

I needed a accurate trigger pull gauge to determine if a couple of my guns would meet the minimum pull weight required by Front Sight — the last thing you want is to show up for a class and fail the gear inspection.

The scale is easy to use and is accurate, the best I can tell. Accuracy is, in my opinion, a relative matter as. It relates to the user.
