I still don't think I would want it on my Glock, but it's not as bad as I expected. However without practice it would be a harder pistol to operate.
I remember when the story below occurred (in summary, NINE bystanders wounded by two cops going after one shooter), and wondering if it wouldn't have happened if they had lighter triggers. It also doesn't help that if the cops are locals, they probably didn't grow up shooting either.
