I have read a lot of posts regarding trigger work. I have two encores that I intend to lighten the trigger pull. I would like to measure the before and after trigger pull. I was wondering what everybody is using to measure the pull? Do I need to make another investment or is there a cheap way to do this?

Thanks for any help.

GM84,
Triggerpull gauges can be had for $20 -$30. Hardly a big investment.

Any advise on where to purchase one?

I'd check first with local gunshops. If they don't have them, no reason they can't order. Otherwise Brownells has several models available.
Their order # is 515-623-4000

I use the RCBS primium trigger pull scale, purchased it when it was on sale at Midway. Not a big investment, but does go to greater range than the standard model.

I use the Lyman Digital and have had good luck with it. Cost about $40.

So, once you know the trigger pull weight, how do you adjust?
