crisp trigger pull

tkosiba · 11-01-2004, 11:52 AM

I've read many articles about a "crisp trigger pull." The term may be in the same ballpark as "it breaks like a glass rod." Question: How is this acheived? Do we start with "tool steel" parts? Is the relief angle on the sear different than industry standard? Is the hammer notch stoned to less than .020? If we took apart a crisp trigger pull and analyzed it, what would we find?

The term is pretty generally used when the smith is done a good trigger pull and it feels that way. Its got to be in the general dynamics of the parts. In fact Ive done exact same jobs on two matching pistols and one had that feel and the other tho fine didnt. There are no special dimentions just skill and luck
