I don't mean to sound unsympathetic to someone who has developed a flinch, I just have always felt there were safer ways to account for a flinch then messing with trigger pull. I have a colt python that one of my pistol buddies keeps saying I need to get a smith to reduce the trigger pull down to 2lbs. No thank you, I have never had a problem making that gun shoot when I needed it to where I needed it to, and more importantly, I have never had it shoot when I didn't want it to. Same can't be said for his 1 1/2 lb New Service, and he doesn't get why I won't shoot next to him when he pulls it out...

All that said, I have known guns that needed their trigger pulls adjusted to a reasonable level. I don't automatically send every pistol or rifle I get to the smith for a trigger job like some, but I have had friends that have gotten pistols and occasionally shotguns with ridiculously heavy trigger pulls.
