Noo Yawk Triggers are indeed 12 pounds.
Takes two hands, like a Whopper.
Can't help accuracy very much. Maybe current situation under scrutiny is a case in point.

In this article they test the accuracy of the heavy trigger pull. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2012/08/foghorn/nypds-choice-of-firearm-may-have-contributed-to-the-terrible-shooting/
SemperFiGuy:
Please forgive me, all those who may have taken me literally about "two hands" being needed on a 12-pound New York Glock trigger. I was using excessive hyperbole to make a point about the difficulty of that particular trigger setup.
One hand will indeed work on a 12-pound New York Glock trigger.
Nevertheless, a 12-pound trigger is one heckuva pull. Might just cause your barrel to drift and leave the target. Might.
That excellent article posted just above [including all the comments] sheds more light on this situation.

I find it ironic that New York's anti-gun paranoia would cause them to neuter the very police force employed to keep the city safe.
It is reminiscent of the movie Demolition Man.

It was the inability of the NYPD to display any type of trigger control that brought about the Glock NY trigger spring. It was intended to prevent accidental ( read negligent) discharges

So, by that logic, the NYPD "meant" to shoot those innocent bystanders!
