Believe it or not I won't have the option of the latter, only the former. I guess the bottom line will be how it feels in my hand, just like you said. I may be leaning towards the Glock and Sig but if I don't think I can shoot comfortably with one or the other the one in question is going back onto the table. I WANT TO ENJOY SHOOTING THIS WEAPON SO I LOOK FORWARD TO SPENDING TIME AT THE RANGE FOR YEARS TO COME (sorry about the caps, but its important to me).

Sorry to be a idiot but what exactly are the "AD willies"?
There have been a significant number of ADs with the Glock. Glock (I know the regional service rep here) swears it ain't the pistol . . . but the trigger pull IS awfully light. It may be that the idea that it's a DA (double action) gives the folks carrying it the idea that it's "safe" and they thus take risks that they wouldn't take with a 1911, for example.
I haven't heard similar stories about the SIG, but it isn't an issue sidearm for any of the police departments hereabouts. (One of our local departments still carries .45 Long Colt. Talk about speaking with authority!)
That would be the "Accidental Discharge" willies.

The stock trigger on a Glock is 5.5 lb. pull.
A "New York" ( 8 lb. pull) trigger is mandated in many LE departments.
