Trigger weight and impressions
« on: March 07, 2005, 04:23:30 AM »
Hi All...

What's the trigger weight of the R9s?  How nice is the trigger out of the box?

Thanks...

My second one is ever so slightly smoother than the first one, but not night and day.  :)

They are both smoother than a well tuned double action Smith "K" frame of which I am quite proud!

Well, how about a guess?  10lb?  5lb?  8lb?

Great, thanks!  7lb is a good choice for a DAO pistol with no acive safety.  I might have preffered 6lb, but I can sure live with 7lb.  I have read the pull is long as well.  That's okay.

How is the reset?  Is it a full trip out to reset or is it shorter?

It's 7 pounds, but pretty long and VERY smooth.  It is similar to, but much smoother than a revolver trigger pull.  I think it is a great combination of safety and shootability.

I don't have mine in front of my now, but I believe the reset is pretty long.

Butter Jim - pure butter!!  The design of the trigger mechanism is IMO a genius piece of work.  I honeslty have never even tried to evaluate (yet) the reset point ... I think it must be moderately early cos I have not once so far even been aware of it!  I will try mine more critically next time but right now - too darned lazy to unload ... and am about to crash soon :)

Is dry-firing w/o snapcap a NO-NO?

Occasional to moderate dry fire I don't worry about but - as with any gun I guess - I feel more at ease if I do have caps .. can only help.

I was dry firing mine tonight (with snap caps :) ) just to see where the trigger reset was.  It is almost exactly a full trip back.  Probably just a few millimeters short.

I had to let the trigger creep back slowly just to find it, -very smooth!

Sounds pretty normal for a true DAO pistol.  It would be nice if it was a DA/SA, but heck, I don't even have mine yet so I'll reserve judgement.  Besides, I won't exactly be shooting IPSC with this one!
