If it's a later model, and anything like a later model 5906's trigger, it's trigger is probably relatively heavy compared to a Beretta, SIG, CZ patterned guns like the Jericho 941, or even an earlier generation Smith. You can't say whether or not a trigger is good/bad/light/heavy though unless you have something to measure it against, so you saying it's medium in pull weight without evidence or a comparison means pretty much nothing. I've handled, dry fired and fired most all of the modern wondernines, and the 3rd Gen Smiths I've gone through were probably the heaviest and worst of the double actions. It wasn't worst by a wide margin, and by no means was it "bad", but other patterned guns were certainly better in the trigger department with regard to weight, play, smoothness of pull and breaking. I certainly don't regret the 92SB/5906 trade with regard to their triggers, that's for sure.

Oh yeah, as far as weight numbers go, I've got no idea, I've looked for pound numbers for plenty of guns and they aren't listed anywhere, but numbers and trigger comparisons are both scales of measurement, so my input stands.

trigger pull
 
My 4505 in DA is lighter than my 92FS. I would say it's about the same weight pull as my P220. The P220 being more mushier though. The 92FS while heavier seems to be cleaner than the other two. The 4505 is kind of gritty. My 4505 was made in '91 (the only year). 92FS made in '92, P220 - '95.

I've been looking at maybe buying a trigger pull gauge, but other things first on the list.

Yeah, I'd like a pul gauge too, it'd be a nice thing to have.

The trigger on mine isn't gritty at all. From all the bad things I've heard about the trigger though, I'm starting to thing I just have a better than average trigger

Or, you haven't experienced other trigger systems with which to compare it, defaulting what you have as "good".

Ya'll act like I've only ever shot a handful of guns.

Best trigger I've felt is the one on my Winchester 52, worst was on my neighbor's Nagant m1895 clone

With regard to the Winchester 52, handguns and rifles are apples and oranges when it comes to trigger setups, so while it may be good, it's not relevant to the discussion. If I compared any of my handguns to, say, my friends Remington 700, they would all be considered complete crap.

The best trigger I've ever experienced on a handgun was with the Sig Hammerli Trailside. Best non rimfire is my father's Kimber Team Match 2

Have you handled many other non-rimfire, traditional double action pistols?
