Kitchen table built trigger pull weight indicator

[nickel plate]

Using an accurate scale, I weighed several household objects that I was able to tie altogether and hang via a piece of paracord lashed over a particular trigger to get it's pull/release rate. For the weights I used two cast iron frying pans, two sets of Harbor Freight drill bit sets and small antique wood stove fire box door. Dialed it in by removing a couple of drill bits and came up with a seventeen-pound trigger pull/release.
Weight is weight, right?

Russian M1895 Nagant Revolver.

Yep, seventeen pounds pull is about right.
