Mechanical Testers

A non-digital device, the mechanical trigger pull tester dates back to the 1970s. These can be mounted or handheld, depending on brand and design. Using various rod-type adapters, mechanical trigger pull testers can be used for both handguns and long guns. They are portable and can typically be calibrated by turning the bezel-type ring around the needle indicator. Peak values are recorded, but no digital information in the form of charts or graphs is provided for case documentation.
