Increased pull weight midway or 2/3 way through the pull due to sear angles/spring-compression/whatever.
Hi
I have just found that people do not hold the gun correctly. The trigger finger should NOT be part of your hold of the gun. It does not matter which gun you use. It is still one of the Most Important basics that people overlook. The trigger finger must just press (stroke) the trigger without the the rest of the hand moving.
The most common mistake I see is that people hold onto the handgungrip to low. Then the weapon moves to easily. I have seen people 'move' SA trigger handguns with their trigger finger as well. All of the people that I have help in this regard have shot better after just this 'adjustment'.
I carry and use 1911's, but that does not change much.

It's possible to shoot very accurately with a double action only revolver, 1.5 pound Open gun trigger, or a Glock. It's also possible to switch back and forth with a little dry fire and a trip to the range. If you don't like a platform, don't use it. But it's possible to shoot well with any quality handgun be it safe action, double action, single action...
Just look at the five division IPSC Masters and four division IDPA Masters. Heck, Leatham won the USPSA Production Nationals with an XD, Sevigny won with a Glock, Jarrett won with an LDA, Angus Hobdell shoots a CZ....

The best thing about the Glock trigger is that it doesn't 'crunch'ntick' for the second shot. It's at least consistent, and when a dyed-in-the-wool single action auto shooter has to choose a duty gun, that can make all the difference. It did for me.
But Gaston surely never shot a nice 1911....

I own a G17, G21, G30, deeply customized Dan Wesson PTE-S 1911 and Les Baer SRP 1911 in hard chrome.
I shoot them all equally well and recognize that each platform has its advantages and flaws. If you're looking for the do-all gun that excels in every single area, then you are just out of luck. Pick what's important to you on the priority scale and be willing to make sacrifices -- and then train around them.

I think we suffer the trigger pull 
for all the other benefits the Glock brings.. In addition the trigger can really be improved considerably. The parts list runs into several hundred dollars and you might say just buy an upscale 1911 if you're going to spend all that money to upgrade plastics..oops, polymer!! but it's your call!!

You're kidding, right?

I can shoot glocks - just qualified Distinguished Expert with my Dept and a Dept issued Grock 17. I will never own one - the grip is wrong for me, I can't stand the trigger, etc. I'll get another CZ.....
