"your AR is shit, change my mind" - Will Larson
I make work horses, not show ponies.
I had a friend that had a blown primer with his G2s trigger, one with her RRA match trigger of some sort, and milspec from another person. All three needed a multitool to get the back into action, so I don't see a point at all.
And if I need to burn someone to the ground or until the threat is over, then why would I want to be even slower with a heavier pull weight?
Nice shooting, but you're forgetting that you're not me and I'm not you. Now multiply that by the millions, and here's where we are with different levels or fitness or health. maybe someone has had an injury or an ailing illness like arthritis and a match trigger helps. maybe two people having the same amount of training, and one's a natural Miculek and the other's not? There's not many at all that can do what he does, even for the younger guys with much high more trigger time. Even SF recognizes that milspec is inferior and requested and got an NSN for a match trigger from Geissele. Are you going to admonish them for their gucci trigger too?
Don't buy a fancy trigger. Use a known quality mil-spec single stage. I recommend ALG.
Then, I dare you to put a dollop of polishing compund on the sear, and dry fire 1000 cycles.
Meaningful repetitions, with sight picture, and mental focus.
Not just "cock'n'click" mindlessly while watching TV.
Your finger will be stronger. Your trigger will be smoother. And just like magic, your groups will shrink. For $0.
I dare you to prove me wrong. You don't need a Gucci trigger.
Edit to add: This dry practice is also a very good opportunity to verify a "fire on release" condition is not present with your disconnector (common with value - mid tier brands and homebrew rifles).

I don't think that having a 3-4lb trigger in your defensive guns is necessarily a horrible thing. The question IMHO becomes more about your skill/competency level. If you don't have the skill to consistently manipulate any trigger that you encounter consider just keeping a Mil-spec trigger in your HD guns.

Even Jerry Miculek recommends getting a good trigger. Pretty sure he's dry fired more meaningful and focused than people here can talk a big talk about with the right catch phrases and daring people with appeals to ignorance.
Even a quick google search shows that pros use match triggers to get their groups down, and I'm pretty sure, nope, POSITIVE, that their fingers are already stronger at this point.
So with that said, I dare you now to prove all of them wrong, too.
We know what we need and don't need. You do you.
I have used several ALG ACT triggers as well as several more BCM PNTs. In my experience, the BCM triggers are way more consistent across the board. None of them have had a gritty feeling to them. The ACTs are sort of a role of the dice. I have had very good ones, and I had one that was literally the worst trigger of ANY type that I ever felt, including the crappy triggers that many times come with factory rifles. That trigger felt like it was drug down a gravel road to polish it. Between these two, get the BCM.
Just get what you want, and practice with it. Simple. I think you already have your mind made up anyway.
