I like relatively light two stage triggers on precision rifles.
But, for personal/home defense when things go bump in the night in the wee hours, there's a lot to be said in favor of a mil spec weight trigger. Adrenaline is pumping. A heavier trigger will prevent a negligent discharge and you'll not really notice the difference under that type of stress without a LOT of training and discipline.
So, my precision rifle has a Geissele SSA-E. Fabulous in that role. 3.5 lbs total. 1.2 lb second stage. I would not want heavier.
My HD carbine has lots of mods but still sports a mil spec weight single stage trigger. However, I've greased the engagement points and dry fired it so many times that it is smooth, free of grit, creep, and is super crisp. About 6 lbs and perfect for that role. I would not want lighter.
Match the trigger design and weight to the mission.
