This is the best part of the trigger in my opinion. I bought this over the Sig mini 1911 for this reason. If you were to find the threat was not equal to the use of a gun you have a margin of error, decision, call it what you wish but you can change your mind and not fire. With a light short trigger if you stumble or flinch your finger could contact the trigger and it could be a disaster. Just my take on it and you need to make a decision for yourself what is comfortable for you.
Be safe, Frank.
