I have asked this question before but no one seems to know.

I have spent so much time looking for the answer online I am ashamed to post it online.

I am trying to find the trigger pull for a standered factory Double-Action Colt Annaconda.

I would like to know what the weight of the trigger pull is in Double-Action mode (Pulling the trigger to fire) and what it is in Single-Action mode (Pulling the trigger to fire with hammer already up)

I would like the answer in pounds.

I do not have a device to measure it and it has been driving me crazy.

Also, I have noticed in a few gun articles that writers will sometimes refer to a weapon's trigger pull as "smooth".

What does that mean?

If two different weapons are the exact same weight, size, caliber, action, with the exact same trigger pull weight would the feel of pulling the trigger be different for one than the other?

If it is different is it better to be smooth, or not.

What does "a smooth trigger pull" mean?

What would be a good choice in a hunting rifle for a 17 year old female? I'm pretty strong and athletic, so it's not the kickback I'm so concerned about as the size/length, because I'm pretty short (around 5'4") and need something that won't be too awkward to carry around through trees and brush. I'd like to buy it (or have my parents purchase it rather) so it'd be nice if it were in a medium/low price range, but I don't have much experience with how much guns should cost...Also, I plan to do mostly deer hunting...Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Just wondering if anyone out there has anything to say about the Taurus Judge? For those that may not know, evidently this revolver can fire both .45 Colt and .410 GA shotshells. I'm kind of curious to hear some reviews.

My friend and I are each buying one from Cabela's this weekend, but we're not willing to pay more than 200 dollars each. What are some of the best .22 rifles we could buy in that price range?

I'm just getting started fishing and I'm curious how you decide what size line to use. I know it doesn't have to equal the weight of the fish but I've never heard any rules of thumb on what strength line to use.

I'm shaw there is plenty of information on the web about this question, but while I'm here, I thought I'd just ask. How do you use fishing rigs (on a rod) and what do they do. Thanks

My father-in-law bought it at a small rural gunshop sometime in the late 1960's. The dealer called and offered to trade him two other guns to get that one back (whether for personal or financial reasons I don't know). I don't know what he paid then, but he wouldn't give it back. Savage Arms won't release any information about guns manufactured prior to 1995, due to a "management change" and "legal issues". It's a beautiful gun with a fox engraved on one side. I would appreciate any guesses. J.D., you got anything for me? I hear from others here that I should listen to you because you "know your shi*."
:-) Thanks!
