I have a VP9 as do a few buds and they all seem to have come with a trigger in the 5lb range rather than the mandated 10lb monsters. Why is that? Non of my other striker handguns had sweet triggers out of the box so WTH? I guess it will never make any sense and I'm still trying to figure out the 1911 triggers. Light and pretty good so what gives?

If you read the CMR, it is clear that the pistol must possess safety devices. It is not clear exactly which or to what extent, so manufacturers fall across a spectrum. It's vague, like just about everything else in MA gun laws/regs.

They must have found a way to meet these requirements:

ok Hoover. I put the trigger pull scale back on the vp9and I was wrong. The trigger breaks at exactly 10 pounds. I must have mistaken a clean smooth trigger with a light trigger. Noxin... interesting enough the vp9 does not have an external safety unless the trigger qualifies. It reminds me of the day I bought a 92 FS stainless and in the box was TWO 15 round factory magazines! I quickly called my local law enforcement officials and dropped a dime on the BATF. Then I went back to the store demanding 10 round magazine and an apology. Scofflaws everywhere you look. What about the 1911? Is that firearm okay because it uses 10 pounds of force to cock the hammer?
Not sure if troll or serious...
