Practice makes perfect and shooting is a finesse sport... I participate in tactical tower matches against folks ranging from military to law enforcement to avg joe's like me... .45 is definitely not the easiest for the pistol section especially going weak hand that can be tough unless you train shooting lefty. We shoot at 4" targets ranging from 15-30yds in some of the most uncomfortable yet practical shooting positions you would ever find yourself in. And its all about making sure you hit the target I learned after my first match "Smooth is fast" rushing your shots is the difference between 1st and 5th! I know I got 5th What seems like an eternity getting correct sight alignment is only about a half sec to a sec in real life. Like everyone of the shooters here has said the best way to find the right caliber and or gun is to: shoot shoot shoot and after that shoot some more! Then decide for yourself ohh i like this gun or this caliber the best. Each gun will have features you will love or hate shooting and holding them is the only way to know which is best...

I personally love single stage triggers and I HATE... with a passion double stage triggers. to me the pull is way too long and switching from my rifle to my pistol I want the pull to be identical... short, clean and crisp! 3lb trigger pull on all my guns
I am odd. I like Glock's trigger and shoot to the reset. If you do that, it is a pretty short pull and it NEVER changes feel like my SA/DA sig. The SIG was polished up by Torie of GGI and feels great. I would guestimate it at around 4# and very crisp in SA.
