I heartily agree! Once you get a taste of the good stuff it's tough to go back to the crude versions.

I'm weird in that the average USGI trigger doesn't bother me unless I'm trying to shoot groups to test ammo or a barrel or something. I've shot a lot of the nice Geissele triggers and don't get bugged a bit about jumping back on a standard trigger.
I had 2 Colt LE6920 triggers that did this exact thing. 1 was a large pin Colt and the other was a standard pin Colt.
Both of them had this definite pre-travel (Very small amount) movement and then the wall and brake.
The large pin trigger was smooth as butter right from the box and I believe it was a 6.5# pull (Don't have my book anymore). But the newer standard pin 6920 sucked major ass and was probably around 10+# pull with a gritty pull.
All my triggers get switched out too Geissele triggers. Either the SD-C, SSA or SSA-E. Best investments I've ever made for shooting. I definitely don't need a timer to tell me that a superior trigger is going to help me either.
I have more trigger time on the standard triggers and hardly notice when I'm back on one; just don't prefer them. I notice the heavy handgun triggers more than I notice the heavy long gun triggers.
REALLY dislike the trigger on my SKS though!
Back to the topic at hand: a Geissele SSA trigger on a Colt 6920 is a sweet combo. My preference, for now.
