Good to know, my range has all of these available for rental. I'll definitely be trying them out the next time I'm there.

The biggest problem with triggers is that the more complex they are, the worse they are. That's why single-action pistols are known for having the best triggers. Any trigger considered good is one that tries to have as little variation as possible between shots. 1911s are good examples, as are old S&W revolvers -- heavy double-action triggers, but very smooth and consistent. PPQs have good triggers because they're pre-cocked, it's a single-action striker. LEM triggers on H&Ks try to go down the revolver route, aiming for heavy, long, double-action triggers with as little wasteful motion as possible and clean breaks. The only DA/SA that has a reputation of even having an acceptable trigger is the CZ-75.

Any Sig with an SRT kit installed has a pretty good trigger

That's about it. Some of the fancier DA/SA guns with safeties (i.e. Tanfos) can be made disgustingly good - but they're still DA/SA. Beretta/SIG triggers fall in this category as well.

Traditional CZ triggers are bad by design, the hammer hooks dictate that the hammer MUST cam backward before the trigger breaks (built-in creep).

Hi-Power / P35 pattern triggers are historically not great in stock form due to the mag disconnect. Browning seems to have addressed this in recent years but good luck finding a new Hi-Power in a gun store.

For the average striker shooter, moving up to a properly-built 1911 in 9mm can be really eye-opening. My first exposure was wild. I'm not a great shooter and my groups went from 2-4" at 7 yards with lots of focus to right at 1" or better without having to work for it at all. It was freakin' liberating.

With good mags, modern 9mm 1911s are pretty reliable if extractor tension is right. Colt seems to be incapable of tensioning a 9mm extractor properly right now as there are widespread reports to that effect, so you should assume you'll have to do it yourself. Note that tension and extractor hook orientation on a 9mm is fundamentally different from .45 Auto.

The downside is that well-built 9mm 1911s are EXPENSIVE. Once you get beyond Colt / Springfield / Dan Wesson, you're into Baer and Wilson territory.
