I have an HK p2000 40sw (DA/SA version) and a Sig P226 (E2 version with the SRT). Both are excellent guns and both have been completely reliable (other than some issues in reseating mags on the 226 during emergency reload drills -- you really need to slam that puppy home). The trigger on the 226 winds hands down. However, the finish on the barrel on the 226 is starting to wear, and I have trouble shooting the 226 accurately -- it consistently shoots low and I think I need to replace the rear site.

The HK DA trigger is somewhat gritty and long, but there is something about the HK that just feels utterly solid, and the grip is more ergonomic than the Sig (and I've read that the P30 is even better). If I had to choose one gun to stake my life on, it would be the HK.
