Vorzug

German to English Tech/Engineering Military / Defense revolver action
In Single Action greift der Hahn mit dem Spannarm unter den Abzugsschnabel, dreht den Abzug gegen die anteilige Kraft der Schraubenfeder bis zum Einrasten nach hinten und leistet den eigenen Kraftakt beim *Vorzug* des Spannhebels.

This is the description of the one phase of the action of a Ruger Redhawk revolver.
Any ideas?

Mary Burdman (asker) Feb 18, 2013:
cocking the trigger It isn't cocking the trigger, which is the Abzug; this is a specific lever in the whole trigger mechanism.
Mary Burdman (asker) Feb 18, 2013:
more context If it would help, this is the following sentence:
Die Kraftverteilung ergibt sich aus den Hebelverhältnissen.

First stage trigger travel

Druckpunkt-Abzugseinrichtung
Bei dieser Abzugseinrichtung sind Vorzug und
Druckpunkt stufenlos einstellbar, ebenso wie der
Abzugsweg, der Triggerstop sowie Position und
Winkel der Fingerlage. Zudem lässt sich der Abzug
der GSP Expert blitzschnell wechseln.

Trigger pull-off
Trigger travel, pull-off, trigger pull, trigger stop
and the position of the finger rest are all continuously
adjustable. As with the well-known GSP, the
trigger of the GSP Expert can be rapidly changed.

A second type of trigger mechanism is the two stage trigger…. A two stage trigger has a long initial movement. The shooter pulls the trigger back to take up this slack until a sharply increased resistance is felt. (That is the first stage.) Then the actual surprise break trigger pull that will fire the rifle is begun, and from that point on the two stage trigger operates like a single stage trigger.

Vorzug
Abzugsweg vor dem Druckpunkt.

Druckpunkt
Beim Abziehen zu überwindender Widerstand, konstruktionsbedingt beim Druckpunktabzug, der Schussauslösung zu überwinden ist. Bei Sportwaffen ist das Abzugsgewicht auf den sog. Vorzug und den Druckpunkt fein zu verteilen.

You build trigger pull thru the first stage...feel a final resistance at the end of the first stage trigger travel...and know to pull the final stage as gently as possible to stay on target. http://floridashootersnetwork.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=28717

On reflection, is this not just cocking the trigger?
