Lyman - electronic trigger pull gauge

The only way to tell for sure if it's an improvement is to install a five pound return spring. IMO it doesn't make the gun one bit more dangerous and improves the trigger pull a lot. A good trigger is a prerequisite for accuracy. For the cost it's worth a try.

I hate to show my ignorance here, but I would rather do that now and learn something than stay forever ignorant, so here goes. Is the return spring the same as the striker spring? And how does making it lighter actually improve the trigger pull? Is it that a lighter pull prevents movement of the hand off target? Many thanks in advance for some clarification for me.

The recoil spring pulls the action closed. the striker spring is mainly what you feel when you pull the trigger and pull the firing pin (aka striker) back. It is wrapped around the firing pin and holds it back. A stronger spring pushes the firing pin faster but makes more trigger pull.

I would guess that the return spring might be called recoil spring.

I waited till near dark today and shot a mag out of my Kahr, I didn't hear one gong. damn.

Now that makes sense, the return spring and recoil spring being one and the same. Why didn't I think of that? Probably the same reason I didn't invent velcro or bobby pins. Just not smart enough.

One more plus for the Lyman electronic
