...or 3.5 pounds, for the longer barrelled models.
More to the point, what I would like to know is the +/- deviation of those manufacturers' trigger pulls. Glock (and others) sell the components Walt describes, stating what the resultant pull will be. I have not heard of anyone quoting a 'range' of pull, standard deviation, or other means to say how these things work in practice.
What I DO know, is that when someone at my local (IPSC) range decided to test the trigger pulls of participating Glocks, CZs and other pistols, more than half the Glocks were found to be in the '4 pounds and a bit' range, so they 'should' have been dumped in Open division. I really doubt that all of their owners had fitted them with 3.5lb modules...
[Standard quoted weight of a Glock 17 trigger is 5.5 pounds. Minimum trigger pull weight in IPSC (not USPSA) Production division, is ~5 pounds]
Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold.
