A good trigger is what you are used to. If you practice with a 5 pound pull, then 3 ½ or 7 ½ pounds is going to throw you off. I have an old model 60 ss 5 shot snub. I could shoot it fairly well (haven't used it in years). It had a 13 pound trigger pull for the first 1/2 inch of pull. Then the pull went down to 5 1/2 pounds at the break point. Since I practiced with it, I would pre pull the trigger to near break point, and squeeze the last remaining pull to break. Single action was 3 1/2 pounds. It was a bad double action trigger, but with practice I was accurate with it.
With my Shield, I practice flicking the safety off, with my thumb, as I draw the gun. Because I practice with using the safety, I always carry with the safety on. So the 4 pound pull is not dangerous, as the safety is always on, until I am ready to fire. Since I practice with this 4 pound trigger pull, I am accurate and consistent with it.
