proper way to measure trigger weight

Hi, mostly asking the professional smiths on this forum;



what trigger gauge to you use to check weight? brand and type?

Where on the trigger do you make contact with the trigger contact point of the gauge?



Do you feel there are any possibilities to get inaccurate readings because of inconsistent methods?



Is it me, or would it seem that striker fired pistols with a long range of pretravel may be more difficult to get consistent?



And finally, do you take a series of pulls and average them to get a final reading?





thanks!

exactly.

I can add or minus a pound easily, just by making an unnoticable adjustment in my technique.



A point is that one person's 3# trigger isnt another 'smiths 3# trigger.



Not a big deal, really, cause the average shooter would believ that a crisp #5 trigger is really a 3# one.
