Good gauge but requires a bit of practice and a steady hand to get good reads.

I am glad I have my Lyman trigger pull gauge. It does take a bit of practice to get repeatable results but it is a fine tool for the shop or range. I especially am appreciative of the fact it will easily handle "light pull double stage triggers" as well as set triggers. Of course, it works perfectly with "standard triggers", also.

I find that the Lyman is good for rifles and single actions - the middle of the range RCBS is great for DA revolvers.

Only fault I have with it is the 12# limit.
OP
I'm thinking that one has a 8# range?

The "smaller" RCBS "fish scale" type I have maxes at 4 1/2 lbs. It can be handy and works well if used with a weight for accurate reads above 4 1/2 lbs.

I have owned one for five years and used it weekly, it gives you a very accurate reading provided you do your part. One thing you will find is The angle you pull the trigger from will vary the scale reading. I normally rest the butt of the gun and end of the barrel on a shop towel, holding the gun by the barrel pull the Gage parallel to to the barrel and record your readings.
For revolver work you can pull the trigger six times and the scale will give you the average.
