Just wondering what's the preferred trigger pull weight most handgun hunters use? I've never handgun hunted but will give it a try this fall for whitetail deer and wild hogs. I bought a nice used freedom arms 454 with a 7.5" barrel. I had a local gunsmith check the trigger pull and he said it was 3.5 lbs. I guess the simple answer is whatever weight you shoot the best groups with or is safe. I thought that pull was fairly light for a factory pistol trigger but feels great.
