Among you owners of fairly recently made by Pietta Cimarron Pistolero or Frontier ( in this case .45 Colt ) sixguns do you know what the weight in lbs. your factory triggers are ? I've read recent Uberti models are pretty light, as low as 2 lbs which is lighter than I care for.

Thanks

Just checked my Cimarron 7th cavalry made by Pietta and it consistently falls between 1-3/4 to 2 pounds.

I’ve got a Cimarron Evil Roy that breaks at about 2 lbs. I don’t know who made this pistol but supposedly they’ve been tuned more than the standard 1873’s.

Pietta 357 mag lets off at an average for six 1lb, 12 oz.

I've got one of these myself, made by Uberti. Trigger is about 2 lbs.

I also have a Pietta .357 Mag. It's trigger is about 4-4.5 lbs.

I could live with that latter weight pull. May I ask what model and it's age ?

My .44 Special Cimarron came with a very light trigger pull. However, it had such a heavy mainspring, that it broke the firing pin within the first two weeks. I called "Cimarron" and they handled the repairs in just a week or so. It has worked well ever since.

FWIW
