I don't target shoot. I shoot mostly IDPA and some USPSA.
everyone is different. People who learn to shoot with the Glock tend to have a much different reaction than those who transfer to it. Notice the OP is switching from a SIG. Switching from a DA or SA pistol to a Glock can be a challenge for many people. Not only the long pull AFTER takeup, but If you look at a SIG, it has a lower beavertail. This means your trigger finger is parallel to the barrel. The Glock's high grip causes the finger to be at a significant downward angle. Everyone's hands are different and everyone's experiences vary, of course.
Just because you shoot a stock Glock well, doesn't change the fact it has a horrible trigger feel. It's the geometry of the crucifix/disconnect/firing pin. The benefit is an extremely simple, low parts, easy to work on lightweight reliable pistol.
I carry a G19 and love it. I switched from a 1911.
Glock triggers can be improved upon dramatically but as all things mechanical, care should always be taken when doing this. For a very light trigger, go for a quality 3.5# connector, a six pound trigger spring, and a 4# striker spring. This setup should NOT be deployed for a carry gun, but rather reserved for range and competition use.
However, if you make one change to the above, as in staying with the OEM striker spring, you will still have a decent Glock trigger that is good for carry use. Throw in the 25 cent trigger job (which is cleaning and polishing), and you're good to go.
