Thanks JAFO - I appreciate the feedback.

This is exactly my experience. I absolutely love the gun apart from this - had my first malfunction this week after 4300 rounds - but I've never come to terms with the "deep break". When I shoot my 1911 I never have to think about trigger control, but when I shoot the 226 it's *all* I think about. I have the short (skinny) trigger on an SRT action. Does anyone know from experience if swapping to the standard trigger would make a material difference in this regard?

If you choose the SP01 remember that the roster model does not have a decocker (I am forced to know these things too). Unless I'm mistaken you will have to manually decock it at Make Ready in Production. I believe this is the "preferred" SP01 model (because trigger jobs are easier and maybe better), but manual decocking is beyond my comfort level. YMMV. Just getting started too, and thinking about all the same questions. Good luck. FWIW I chose a 9mm 1911 because I like heavy and thin, and I want to be able to afford to shoot it lots at my low level (so not .45). Couldn't find anything I liked for Production on the roster.
