Good recounting.
I will say the trigger on my Sig is not as heavy as a DA pull on a model 19. I like the idea of a grip safety (it doesn’t have one). Jeff Cooper didn’t like them but I’ve never had one be an issue on any 1911.
With many modern combat autos, you can replace the trigger module with one that’s got a different pull, or you can adjust it. New York City actually currently issues Glocks with trigger setups having a heavier pull than the revolvers they replaced. The NY-1 trigger is 8 pounds, the NY-2 is 12 pounds.
There’s also the Miami trigger setup which basically turns the trigger into a two stage setup - 5.5lbs until just before the trigger releases, at which point it becomes 8lbs.
I actually like grip safeties myself, which is why I prefer the Springfield XD line.
