For target shooters precision is a basic need. The Swiss are a nation of marksmen (or at least were and probably still are). Luger marksmen often won or scored well in international competitions. If you look at the effort that goes into making modern day "race guns" you can see that adjusting the trigger pull of a Luger is pretty much commensurate with the detail that is exacted today.

And yes, trigger levers really are hard to the point of being brittle.
