Heavy triggers and accurate shooting don't go together.
Tell that to the guy I watched make a first round hit on a bowling pin at 50 yards last month.

He did it using a Glock pistol with all factory parts. Measured trigger pull on the gun was 6lbs 8oz.

If the trigger pull is smooth without appreciable overtravel, it doesn't need to be light to attain good accuracy.

People obsess over trigger weight, but a relatively heavy trigger pull is not a hindrance to good accuracy if the trigger is otherwise a good trigger. I agree that past a point, a trigger can be so heavy that it's really difficult to attain good accuracy, however that limit is much higher than many people seem to think. It is certainly possible to attain excellent accuracy with trigger pull weights well over 5lbs.
