NO!! Don't even talk about running out of ammo!!

Since the question of money was never discussed, I am going to give my 2 cents for what its worth. I love the Sig P226 in 9mm if you get one with the SRT trigger because regular factory Sig triggers are horrible, almost as bad as Glock factory triggers.
Sig, you are correct. To me, the standard reset on a Sig trigger is very long like the Glock. The SRT makes it a lot easier to stay on target.
Glock's reset is no where near what a Sig has. When I try to do rapid fire on Sigs and HKs, after owning my G19, I will short stroke the second shot because the reset is further than my Glock. I have to mentally tell myself to go forward with my finger further when shooting guns like that. The CZ has a long reset as well.
Fortunately most triggers aren't too hard to modify.
As long as you adhere to shooting principle, most triggers out there aren't going to cause inaccuracy. I've found that even with heavy triggers, adjusting your technique, namely putting more finger on the trigger, helps to keep the gun straight in the pull. Sigs have a nice SA trigger, it's just a hair more vague than I'd care for, and the reset is a mile long... if I had to nit pick.
I agree with you on sound principles. But most people dont practice enough and I have personally witnessed an interesting occurance when I shoot with people who dont shoot much. They will come to the range with a Sig, M&P, Glock, XD, etc...and after shooting a bit and not being very accurate, I hand them one of my Kimbers or my GP6, they immediately shoot better. When I ask them what they think the difference is, most of them attribute to the difference in the trigger pull, not neccesarily the reset, but all the creep and overtravel, there is too much time between the time they start squeezing to the time it goes off for them to get off target.
It might make them shoot better, but they as shooters, they are no better. It's akin to giving someone a Porsche GT3 to race in a Spec Miata series.
