Normal factory SXS trigger pull weight?

[Craig Budgeon]

Richard, the intent of a lighter rear trigger pull is not to make it lighter, the intent is to make the sear engagement identical to the front trigger. When equal engagement is achieved the rear trigger pulls up to a half pound less because of the increased distance from the axis to the finger pull. In addition to your theory of reasons to increase rear trigger pull, Dan @ MST shared a popular theory there, that since rear triggers have more leverage, pull weight is increased so that it feels like the front trigger. To me this theory is BS and furthermore increasing trigger pulls also increases sear wear.

Craig, thank you for the mechanical explanation regarding front & rear trigger pulls.

Your statement however, is contradictory. On one hand you provide the mechanical explanation for a higher rear trigger pull (leverage) but then, call BS on the very same principal cited by another, that, supports your explanation

Maybe you're simply saying an increased pull on the rear trigger is unnecessary? Can you elaborate??
