I'm not a fan of double action triggers, but they're hardly for dummies. The P226 is a solid gun.

Yeah man, that's exactly what I'm saying - glock, S&W m&p's, etc. And you're right, DA is hardly for dummies. That was a dumb statement. Though the bottom line with double action is your finger stroke is much longer and typically harder. Your tendons move much more - your hand moves much more. You'll tend to be more on target if you're shooting a single action correctly (focus on trigger break AND trigger reset) vs. a double. Simply because the gun moves more while pulling the trigger with a DA.
Lay your hand down on a table with a DA and cycle the trigger (unloaded of course) and do the same with a single action (catching the link) and you'll see the muzzle movement is impossible to stop. With a SA, it's much more controllable. <- that's what I meant to say.
Sig is far superior to many, many, many pistols. Though with current configurations, I'm inclined to carry something different. Less we talk about the 1911's. Just like H&Ks. Jesus I love the feel of the P30 Variants...but again, not for carry. Too much going on.
I'll even go further and say that while I truly enjoy the Sprg XD/XDM's, I wouldn't carry one. The ambi mag release is easily depressed by a seat belt or by leaning against something. The mag release needs to be protected, against the body. The M&P is ambi but only if you manually place it on the other side. So are the gen 4 glocks. Much better ambi config. Left or right handed the mag release is secure. Furthermore, the Sprg XD/XDM's are only half ambi anyway. The slide lock is only on one side. The M&P is, to my knowledge, the only SA true ambi out there. Something to consider for you lefties.
