1911s, so just one.
I’m not experienced enough to feel this effect I guess, my G19.5 takes up, then the required pressure to trip the sear is felt, and the Striker releases. So, one I guess?
I also have a question. Being a numbers person, has there been any studies involving a measurement of Force over distance on a handgun trigger?
Seems to me you could plot F (Force in Newtons) over X (trigger travel, in mm say) and depict this effect graphically?
These “walls” would then show up graphically as local peaks in the F over X curve, right? I just think that would be cool. [emoji41]

I actually played around with this a bit during dryfire yesterday after reading this in your AAR. On my stock G19.4 I counted 3 walls. Thanks for sharing that insight from the class, I plan to play around taking up different amounts of slack during recoil/pressout depending on the type of shot.

I’ve actually seen this measured and plotted by computers in published research for precision rifle triggers. Interesting indeed!

If you would prefer not to think of it as “walls,” consider instead the amount of travel between where the initial wall is, and where the trigger finally breaks. In a Glock, the amount of travel between wall and break is nearly the amount of travel from touching the trigger to the wall. That is a lot of distance.
