I'll disagree with this, even though for MOST self-defense shootings this may hold true.
But defensive shootings can very easily become offensive shootings. The recent active shooters that have been shot by good guys carrying concealed. Or the crazy dude that snatched a kid out of a shopping cart at War-Mart and held him hostage with a knife.
Shootings like that may very well require a much different shot than getting mugged in a dark parking lot.
Now a lot of difficult shots can be made with mediocre triggers. But my position is just that "it working" or "just going bang" should certainly not be our threshold of what's acceptable.
This falls along the same lines as betting on the "average" number of rounds in a gunfight. You get what you get, not what you want, and probably not something "average".
Just because you might slap the hell out of the trigger in a gunfight, doesn't mean you should carry and train with a pistol that requires a jerk for ignition.
If your trigger is giving you so-so results during training, things aren't going to improve during a fight. That may or may not matter, as explained by Blue.
