Trigger pull on a Free Pistol

I know there are probably other forums more suited to the question but Bullseye is where I'm comfortable. I have a Toz and the trigger is of course very light. What sort of trigger weight is a good starting point?

Had a 9 oz trigger on a Thompson Center Contender that i used for Free Pistol in the 70s.  This is as light as i would go. 

The set trigger on my  T/C Hawken is around 2 oz.  To light , as i cant make contact with it , without it firing.

Dont remember checking  the trigger pull on my Feinwerkbau model 65 air pistol.

Crank it up until it feels comfortable for you. There's nothing that says you need to have it super light.

I've just started shooting free pistol myself. I'm also using a TOZ borrowed from a friend. He told me the trigger is set at 20 grams if I'm remembering it right. I've grown used to it after 50 rounds and really wouldn't want to change it.

Mine was always at 20-40 grams. Start a bit heavier and work your way down if you are comfortable with it. It should be a very light first stage and then you can just think about the last stage and it should fire.

A 2 stage trigger would make it more user-friendly when set at 2 oz/56 grams or less.

I love my TOZ, my trigger is set at 50 grams.

My TOZ-35M looks the same as above with Rink grips and a Balance fore end. To raise trigger weight above the adjustment range I wedge a small 3/8 x 3/8 x 1/2" chunk of closed cell foam between the barrel and the trigger bar (above the front of the trigger guard). 

I got the idea from Igor at http://toz35.blogspot.com/

I started out shooting free with too light of a trigger pull. Once I bumped it up slightly I shot better groups and had less flyers. Don't be scared to adjust trigger during training or a match! Shoot a weight that YOU can pull. Don't get wrapped up in the actual pull weight; go by feel not a measured standard.

My two TOZ 35M pistols are adjusted to 16 and 18g. I am comfortable with that.
My two IZH-46M Air pistols that I use in the airgun metallic silhouette matches are configured with 40g (open sights) and 60g (scoped). If its adjusted lighter I have sometimes early shots. Those are shot two handed.
Neither of those pistols are suitable for rapid fire though :-(. I have an LP50 (80g trigger) for that.

Mine came set at 18 grams. I can lift with weight on the trigger and get no AD. It goes with how you grip, grip pressure is important.you have to start your pull , no better yet pressure, not pull, without sympathetic response from the other fingers. Can you feel the build on the trigger? You can't jerk it, well, l can't.
