I know Rob Leatham was one, to shoot on the machine. One of the things they found out was that even the experts return to full extension of the trigger finger during rapid fire. No one used the reset.
Rob Leatham and many other top shooters claim that they completely let out the trigger between each shot. I even heard Leatham say that he often can feel the back side of the front section of the trigger guard on his trigger finger between shots. I believe Jarrett is another who ascribes to this technique.

This being the case, there are many other top competition shooters who work the reset between shots. Sevigny and Burkett to name a few. Either technique can be made to work well (obviously) but I believe that a gun with short, distinct reset is far easier to shoot fast than one without. This is a reason why the glock / 1911 trigger systems seem to work so well in IDPA / IPSC competitions.
