I recently fitted a #3.5 disconnector and a NY1 trigger spring in my Glock 17.I like the way that the trigger feels,but I want to make sure that the weight is greater than 5 lbs,and thus OK for IPSC production class.

I have a RCBS trigger pull gauge,the problem is that I have a hard time measuring the Glocks trigger as its hard to decide where exactly to put the arm of the gauge on the Glocks trigger.Over the long pull of the glock the gauge tends to slip and Ive got readings from 4 to 7 lbs,depending on where the gauge is when the trigger breaks.

Anyone have ideas on the IPSC approved way of measuring a Glocks trigger?
 
The muzzle must be in the vertical position. The arm of the guage rests on the trigger wherever it rests when you pull the guage down vertically.At the B.C. Provincials last year they used a five pound lead weight attached to the trigger with with a steel arm and the muzzle held in a vertical position. The gun was then raised gently with the barrel in the vertical position until the lead weight was lifted off the table. This is probably the best method since there may be a variance in trigger pull guages.
 
From the rule book

Appendix F2

When a minimum trigger pull is required by a Division, handguns will be tested as follows:

1. The unloaded handgun will be prepared as if the handgun is ready to fire a double action shot;

2. The trigger weight or scale will be attached as closely as possible to the center of the trigger face;

3. The trigger of the handgun must either:
  • (a) Raise and hold a 2.27 kg (5lbs) weight when the muzzle of the handgun is pointed vertically skywards
and the handgun is gently raised, or
  • (b) Register not less than 2.27 kg (5lbs) on a scale using the procedure specified by the Range Master;

4. One of the above tests will be conducted a maximum of 3 times;

5. If the hammer or striker does not fall on any 1 of the 3 attempts in 3(a) above, or if the scale registers not less
than 2.27 kg (5lbs) in 3(b) above, the handgun has passed the test.

6. If the hammer or striker falls on all three (3) attempts in 3(a) above, or if the scale registers less than 2.27 kg
(5lbs) in 3(b) above, the handgun has failed the test and Rule 6.2.5.1 will apply.

Don't forget, all parts must be made by Glock, and not aftermarket, for shooting in Production.
