Hi Larry, welcome to p-f.
I think what’s trying to be said is that, for most of us struggling Production U/D/C and probably B/A Shooters, having a light tuned 2lb trigger vs. a TDA press isn’t really going to affect your score all that much.
At least as opposed, say, to shooting Mikes, No Shoots, D’s instead of A’s, muffing reloads, shooting to slide lock, leaving steel, borking a stage plan, and so forth.
For most shooters, those things will probably outweigh the importance of a particular trigger enough that they ought to be working on first avoiding mistakes, rather than their equipment.

I wouldn't contend any of those things; but the OP asked about the 'best trigger pull for competition', and I responded to a comment stating it didn't matter. Because I was, apparently, talking about cannon (??) instead of modern DA or untuned striker triggers.

If your goal is to progress in USPSA beyond C class, you need to be able to shoot well, and do it fairly quickly. You might even be competitive in A class just by being able to shoot mostly As, and not miss steel or hit no shoots.
I hope we can all agree that good trigger control is a very important part of shooting well. It’s easier to control a good trigger than a not so good one. That’s one reason why 2011s are not allowed in Production class, and all the lim and open guns have awesome triggers.
Sure, you can go all the way to GM with a Glock, but that’s not the easiest path by far.
I’ve seen small but significant improvements each time I “upgraded” to a gun with a better trigger. I’ll take any advantage I can because my competitors are too.

I have found my greatest gains in USPSA from committing to shooting into and out of position, and on the move. I prefer the Walther Q5 trigger, but am currently shooting a 34 MOS with a pretty basic trigger as it reliably holds two more rounds, doesn’t have the potential of a dead trigger from the sear releasing and it reloads easier. In my experience, USPSA field courses are not that gun differentiating.
