While it might not be overly difficult to measure for a double action revolver, with long trigger pull, for a 1911 there is about 1/16" of initial take-up, with almost zero pull weight, and then the actual trigger pull takes up only a couple of hundredths of an inch. I think it would be impossible to measure and chart a 1911 trigger without some very sophisticated equipment.
