Please name your favorite trigger for a semi-auto pistol.

This is bait to introduce a discussion of the superiority of the 1911 trigger, but I'll bite anyway.
For emergency situations, I like the long, double action, first-shot pull of the Sig, with single acton followup shots. No safety to fumble for. Much like a revolver. I think the Sig trigger is my favorite, but it's very closely followed by the double action-only trigger of my Walther PPS.
No. 3, for recreational fun, would be the Ruger Mark III .22. It's a sweet little pistol to shoot. (Hey, maybe I should rank it higher. I'm torn many ways.)

The very first thing that attracted me to the Sig Sauer was their DA/SA Trigger, with no safeties. The single action of the Sigs broke at 4 1/2 lbs, while the factory Colt Gold Cups broke at 5 lbs.

Well, triggers are a lot like cars in a way. I'd love a 350hp rear wheel drive stick shift... but not in a Buffalo winter. A remarkably dull 4wd automatic is very comforting at that time.
Similarly, a light crisp single action trigger is a pleasure at the range shooting bullseyes, but for everyday, the reassurance of the longer harder pull of a SA/DA seems to be the best compromise for me.

I have gone through different phases with this trigger business. First I had a S/W Sigma, with something like a 12 lb trigger. Then a bunch of Glocks, and a Dan Wesson with a super light SA trigger. I, too, however, have settled on the Sig. I find it to be the best factory option.
