Digital Testers

Digital trigger pull testers are push and pull testing devices that usually have rod-like adapters for measuring trigger pull for both handguns and long guns. The basic unit can usually be handheld or mounted permanently.
These instruments are innovative because they capture and store information relating to the full range of trigger motion: the pressure exerted and the distance traveled as the force on the trigger begins, increases, and goes to zero at sear release. Optional software that allows for real time data porting into a computer as well as a software interface accessed from the computer keyboard may be available. The graphical results represented as a color coded force versus distance plot in different types of units can be saved for use as case documentation.
Calibration requirements are brand specific and should be adhered to as required.
