It's recently come to my attention that where and how to measure the trigger pull distance has been confusing.
Since the trigger is a hinged lever, if you measure its travel at the tip, the distance will be greater than if you measure it elsewhere during a full cycle.
Well, I measure it from where my finger pulls it, and that's just about in the center of the arc of the trigger.
I measure it by first putting it at the reset point, then measuring the distance from the center of the trigger to the back of the grip on a horizontal line parallel with the slide. That's the "big" number.
Then I pull the trigger until it releases, and measure from the center of the trigger to the same point at the back of the grip. That's the "little" number.
Subtract the little number from the big number, and that's the trigger pull distance.
That's also where I measure the trigger pull force, which obvously would be less if measured at the tip of the trigger.
There's nobody I know with fingers skinny enough to operate the trigger from the tip....
