Why would you increase trigger pull weight

Post by tactice » 06 Dec 2013, 8:02 am

Hi guys,

I read on another forum someone was looking to increase the trigger pull weight for one of their guns.

The thread didn't have any replies though so there was no further reading.

Why would you ever want to increase the pull weight :?:

Thanks.

I think you'll find it's for competition shoots where there are rules about trigger pull weight.

WA1500 is one of the contests where trigger pull weight is specified.

This is pistol shooting by the way, not target rifles.

Ah I see.

Competition rules makes sense I guess.

Couldn't get my head around why you would heavy up your rifle trigger :D

There you go.
