Well, I'm guilty of being non-specific. Glock has about 7 different levels of springs for it's triggers, from the 3.5-4lb triggers on the competition guns all the way up to abominations like the 13lb trigger used in NYPD issue Glocks. When I am calling Glock triggers poor I am referring to the creepiness of the trigger, the flex of the actual plastic unit and connectors, and the general lack of "crispness".

USP has similar problems, and the plastic flex issue even worse as their triggers are longer and the action is classic DAO, meaning generally heavier trigger pulls on first shot and thus more flex. I would not call a Glock trigger "bad", and I certainly wouldn't compare it to a USP and call the USP's trigger better.

As to the Sig guns, I owned a P-229 (alloy framed with an alloy trigger, etc) and found it to have one of the best triggers I've ever had on a factory autopistol. I knew precisely when it was going to touch off, there was no creep, or gritty feel, and the trigger was smooth regardless of which mode DA or SA. I would compare a Sig to a Glock and say the Glock has the worse of the two insofar as triggers go.

As I said before, I own a Glock 19 and count it as one of my favorite shooters. Accurate, handy, dead on reliable, and tough as nails. It's all I can ask for in a gun. The USP that I owned was eventually given to my Mother as a present. My Mom fell in love with it and I gave it to her, considering my Glock a better piece. The Sig is also no longer in my possession, yet the Glock remains. I have no qualms about griping about certain aspects of the Glock (fricken slide release button is too small!) but still choose it for CCW and general carry over anything else I own.
