Preferred trigger weight is whatever my Sig 239 is.
SA=Heavy DA=Super heavy LOL just kidding!

I understand your comment Jim but the NYPD and their 12 lb trigger pretty well blew that one out of the water.In an HD/SD pistol where there is likely to be a lot of tension and adrenaline, a very light trigger pull is a bad idea. Shooting an attacker in self-defense might be justified, but shooting a half-dozen bystanders by accident is not. I would go for 5-7 pounds SA and 12+ DA. I am aware that my own Model 19 has a 2 1/2 pound SA pull, but in a defense situation, I would be likely to be firing DA.

There have been at least 3 NYPD incidents in the last 5 years where numerous innocent bystanders were shot by NYPD officers, and the perp was either totally missed or only received grazing shots.
Are you suggesting a lighter trigger pull would have: (1) reduced the number of innocent bystanders shot by NYPD officers; and/or (2) stopped more perps? Please explain.
"a hard to pull trigger is hard to pull", and in stressfull situations is difficult to maintain accuracy
I've noticed with heavy triggers that I have to have precise trigger finger placement or my shot accuracy degrades.
