trigger pull scale in Canada?

[JohnnyP636]

Probably not the best section for this, but was wondering if anyone knows of a retailer in Canada that sells trigger pull weight scales? I've always wanted one but don't feel like ordering from the US

I got mine from select shooting supplies. They had it cheaper than anywhere else I looked.

True north Arms has some in stock I believe

Thanks I'll have a look, lots of places seem to sell Wheeler but sold out
What brand did you get?

Little far of a drive for me in Mississauga to Barrie, but Bass Pro has them in Vaughan so I might just go grab one there instead of paying and waiting for shipping....

Thanks for the suggestions, looks like I have a few options for the Wheeler brand scale

I got the Wheeler digital scale. In my opinion it was well worth it.

Mechanical or digital? Which one is best in your opinion? Is the only advantage to digital is that it records results?

I found my digital (Lyman) scale, really finicky.

Five pulls on my S&W 686 ranged from 2,8 to 3.9.
So you basically end up with an average.

It’s difficult to get the exact same location on the trigger every pull.

I just compared my Wheeler digital to the mechanical springer one and they're surprisingly pretty close just one gives info down to the ounces. With the digital unit, you can let the unit calculate an average based on the number of pulls you do. If that's worth $60-70 more to ya, fill yer boots.

Ditto. I'll usually discard the super low or super high numbers for my average if I know the majority are within x-lbs.

Lots of places sell them, try some of the retailers here or even check out Amazon.

I just got a fish scale and bent the hook to a more appropriate shape. This will get you something functionally equivalent to a spring-type trigger scale at a lower price.

Thats what I did with a science scale, it works remarkably well.

I picked up a $6.00 luggage scale at KW Suprlus; good enough for me; weights in .00 of a pound.
