What is the average trigger pull for Uberti handgun clones?
My 1860 Army is 1 lb 11 oz
And my 1862 Police is 1 lb 7 oz

The best trigger weight is a telepathic weight: you think, and it shoots, so you'll never tremble or get a finger pushing too much right/left. Not easy to adjust, but fully performing...
In fact, and it's no joke, just adjust it to your hand, finger and feeling... ;)

When you invent one, I want a copy! 😁
 
Four of my Uberti's range from 1.6# to 2.2#. Pietta's from 1.2# to 2.2#. I just try to pull straight back till the gun shoots and continue to follow through.
 
If those pulls are out of the box Guido screwed up. Never seen a factory trigger pull that light. They are usually around 4 lbs.
Not only is my Uberti Remington that light, there is no travel out of the box. If you even start to think about pulling the trigger, it goes off. I like it but will not let anyone else handle that gun.. My unmentionable semi's are up around 4-6#. Trigger weight does not bother me, but because I'm shaky I like minimal travel so I can fire in the instant I'm on target. I have a little adjustable fake gun I use to exercise my finger and hold on target during the trigger pull. You can laugh but it helps. I'll call this a training aid so maybe won't take too much heat for putting it up.

Thanks, Ed.

The trigger weights are out of the box - I haven't messed with them.

Not me for sure. Whatever works for you. Snap shooting is not the recommended but then the advice is always for the perfect speciman under perfect conditions.

As long as there is a thought process behind what you do there is nothing wrong with doing what works for you.

Yup, that's my experience as well. I usually install a sear lift to get them into the 2 lbs range with no creep or being able to jar them off full cock.
Actually I can do very well with a 3 lbs trigger if it is creep free.
 
Maybe using grease on the internals helps to lighten them up.. Measurements are good.
Usually super light triggers can be jarred off with a sharp blow to the trigger guard with a stick of fire wood or rawhide hammer. I won't let any gun out of my shop that can be jarred off full cock and I rigorously test every one several times .

I just tried that with the light weight factory sears in my Uberti 1862 Police and Uberti 1860 Army. I wasn't able to jar them off.
 
Super light would be something below 1 lb, more like 8 oz or the like so needless smoke. Well unless its a Remington 700 and then a jar test is pretty much mandatory with that horrid trigger design. I tested one and it was fine. My brother tested another one and it went off.

Not applied to these unless someone really messed up the sears.
