I worked at a gun store/range for about a year and a half, until recently (bad knee, bad pay and a reduction in hours compelled me to move on). But in that time I shot a shit ton of guns, including many that I wouldn't have otherwise. While I never fired this particular model, polymer Barettas typically have shitty triggers, and I've grown very finicky about that over the years. Bad trigger = bad gun. Sure, you can swap it out for a better one, but why bother when you can buy another gun out of the box that has one? When it comes to pistols, more than anything else, a heavy trigger will make you miss, because you'll end up moving your hand as you fire (low left for righties, low right for lefties). I saw that every day when I was the range officer. I could walk up and down the range and tell if somebody was right or left handed by the way they missed. I could correct shooters' bad techniques, but I could not correct their shitty guns. Can you get used to it? Sure. But again, why bother?
In my experience, Sig, CZ and Walther (polymer, not the dogshit PPK) have the best stock triggers in the reasonably priced range. Glocks are decent but not as good; Springfields are a bit worse than Glocks (although the new Echelon has a wonderful trigger - much better than the Hellcat). And it goes downhill from there. And Barettas are definitely in the downhill from there category.
