The thing with guns that have crappy trigger pulls is this...
The double action only guns(or the triggers that are so long they feel like DOA) are great for self defense. You clear the gun, you pull the trigger, you shoot until the threat ceases. Nothing worry about when it comes to the gun. At the ranges that most people are shot at, accuracy really isn't an issue. The sucker is usually close enough that you have to try to miss.
Sounds good right?
Now heres the real picture...
Billy Bob spends what he considers to be a small fortune for a gun that he researched until the wee hours of the night on the Internet, talked to several gun-shops and all of his gun toting buddies and came to the conclusions that SIG's are some of the finest handguns in the world. He watches the History channel and he see that SIGS are carried by NAVSPECWAR types, the FBI,CIA and other alphabet agencies so he figures if its good enough for them, its good enough for him.
So he goes to the gun-shop, spends his hard earned money and gets a P250 and he's happier than a fat hog in a wallow on a hot day. He calls up his best buddy to go to the range,tells him got a new gun to try out and being the buddy that he is, he agrees to go because he knows that when a buddy calls you up to try a new gun,that it is rude and unsociable, and downright UnAmerican to refuse, plus, he too is excited because he gets to shoot a new gun that he's read about, heard about and wondered about.
So they get out there, load up the gun and neither one of them can hit a B27 silhouette at 25 yards. Sure, they slop a few shots on it, but most of them are in the dirt and to the right, because of that ratty trigger with a trigger pull on it that seems like it takes 4 feet to bust off.
Whats that gonna do for their confidence? How is Billy Bob going to explain to his wife that he spent half a months wages on a pistol that he cant hit diddly squat with? What's he gonna think about SIG's now? Whats his buddy gonna think? The next day at work how bad will the name of SIG get trashed, because two good ole boys were disappointed in it because they considered themselves to be at least average shots, and they did OK with most pistols they ever touched?
So, they figure out that since 25 ain't workin, they'll drop back to 7 yards,while looking around and hoping no one sees them. They both proceed to shoot, making the common mistake of using way too much finger on the trigger which causes the gun to shoot low and to the right. At 7 yards, they are getting patterns that mimic buckshot at 20 yards, and they aren't happy
because clearly, this gun is whoopin their tails, and no man can live with that and still sleep.
By the end of the session, they have no confidence in the gun, they realize that they cant hit squat with it, yet Billy Bob has to carry it for self defense, because the only other thing he has is a Ruger .22 pistol that he's had since he was a kid, and no man with self respect would carry a .22 for self defense.
See what designing a gun with a terrible trigger does? There's alot more to it than just being a ratty trigger.
If experienced shooters like SIXTO and TANGLE have issues with it, how's the good ole boy that only shoots when he sights in his deer rifle in October going to do with it?
