Trigger pull on a shotgun
I was wondering if this is a great modification to do like on a rifle. I have a Browning BPS and have never touched the trigger is this something I should do.
Thanks

Unless it's a slug gun i would not mess with it. 0 -
You can do it if you know what and how to do it. I've done a few but wouldn't recomend it if you've never done it before.I agree if you're not shooting slugs why bother.Good luck & great fun 0 -
you dont want a hair trigger on a shotgun. dont mess with it. keep it heavy.

Agree.
I have read many places not to lighten the trigger on a shotgun. It shouldn't be necessary since the shotgun is not a precision "bulleye" type of shooter.

I think it depends on how heavy the present pull is.
Of course altering the pull will also require work to be done on the safety.
I recall missing an easy shot at a pheasant with an unfamiliar shotgun while shouldering it. The gun had a lighter pull than I was used to and it went off while snagging on the armpit of my jacket.0 -
golden rule....your squeeze a trigger on a rifle or pistol. trigger weight is critical. on a shotgun, you SNAP the trigger. weight doesnt matter.

As long as it is not too heavy. I think 4 lbs is supposed to be good. Too heavy screws up your timing. Too soft is dangerous.
