I might get bashed for this, but I'll say it anyway. A Glock, with it's 5.5 short takeup trigger, is very much like a 1911 WITHOUT the thumb and grip safety. 1911 triggers are in the 5 lbs. range, with a short takeup. Only thing is, 1911's have a grip and thumb safety---Glocks have neither.
I don't want to be the Glock defender here, but in all transparency the Glock does have the trigger safety bar and it is half cocked so I wouldn't call necessarily say it has a short take up trigger. People who have AD's with 1911's or Glock's are handling or carrying them improperly, they don't go bang by themselves.
