In this review the Lyman Electronic Digital Trigger Pull Gauge is evaluated for shooters and gunsmiths who need fast, repeatable trigger-weight measurements. The bottom line: this tool delivers accurate readings with a large display and simple operation, making it a practical choice for anyone who tunes triggers or checks safety specs. Setup is straightforward and the gauge records multiple pulls, so its real value is in saving time while producing consistent, reproducible trigger pull data.

Key Features

• High accuracy: The strain gauge sensor provides readings accurate to 1/10 of an ounce or 2 grams, which helps ensure repeatable measurements when adjusting triggers.
• Wide range: Reads up to a 12 lb / 5.4 kg maximum so it covers the majority of civilian and competition trigger weights.
• Large digital display: The easy-to-read LCD speeds up checks at the bench or range without squinting at tiny scales.
• Multi-unit readings and averaging: Switch between ounces and grams and capture an average of up to the last 10 readings to reduce outlier error.
• Fast, simple operation: The ready button, roller hook and adjustable rod let you quickly measure a trigger without complex setup or external weights.
• Portable storage: Customers report the included case and compact form make it easy to store and transport for field or shop use.

Who It's For

The gauge is best suited to gunsmiths, competitive shooters and hobbyists who regularly measure trigger pull and want consistent, repeatable readings without needing separate weights or mechanical scales. Its accuracy and averaging function make it valuable for setting targets and documenting adjustments.

Those who rarely check trigger pull or who require industrial-caliber test rigs may find this unit more capability than they need. Also, users expecting integrated ballistic tools or multi-function meters should look for a different multi-use instrument.
