Guys,
I've seen numerous posts describing the stock trigger pull as being around 5#. I have two P3ATs. One was manufactured 2 1/2 years ago and one a month or two ago. Both of these guns have a trigger pull of 7 1/2 pounds on my RCBS trigger scale. That is with the scale hook located at the center of the trigger where your finger rides, and pulling back as your finger would. The only way I could get the gun to trip at about 5 1/2 was to hook the scale on the very tip of the trigger and pull it at a low angle. That's not a legitimate reading IMO. I tested my scale with known weights to be sure it was accurate, and it was right on.
So my question is: Are you guys who have the 5# guns measuring that from the middle of the trigger with a rearward pull?
