New thread better explaining my point.
[strike]
My observation: Comparing a G17 to a 9mm P226 using full power ammo as fast as I can shoot at 7-10 yards I've found I can physically shoot the G17 faster (short reset), but shoot a Sig (longer reset and more recoil movement) consistently better relative to POI and grouping.
The longer reset (and shot delay) of the much better Sig SA trigger seems to allow me to track back fully on target and more consistently find the front sight before the next shot (despite the higher bore axis translation to more recoil movement). So, rapid fire with the P226 is slightly slower but consistently better in POI and grouping with fewer flyers and flyers that are of less spread.
See poll.
Disclosure: The 9mm Glock (17/19/26) trigger has long challenged me. This despite having >40k in 9mm Glocks vs. <3k in 9mm Sigs. Currently, I run a 3.5# trigger bar in my >9k in 9mm and >10k in .22lr otherwise stock early Gen3 G17. It's ergomonics. I shoot the 1911, XD, Sig, CZ and .45acp Glocks better (POI/grouping) than the 9mm Glocks despite having up to 15x the round count in the latter. And, after >40k in 9mm Glocks I'm increasingly confident more Glock 9mm practice is not the solution.
