It's kind of surprising how many folk treat a two stage trigger (including Glocks and most 1911s) like double action revolver triggers. They fully release the trigger even when attempting to run double taps and such. Perhaps Browning High Power influenced in a few cases, but...
I guess you would call the LEM trigger on my H&K P2000sk a "2-stage". The reset is much shorter than the full, initial trigger pull. Personally, I'm still having trouble getting used to that trigger. However, the M1A trigger is absolutely fine for me. Maybe it's just the overall length of the trigger pull.

Thanks from jmoore

I'm not familiar with that particular H&K system, there's some pretty odd LE trigger groups out there, though!

If you like the M1A's type of trigger then the two stage Geissele ought to suit you fine. It's good gear.

AR triggers, whether they are single stage or two stage, have the same, long reset. It's part of the design

Not true, geissele have a much shorter reset than most other brands.
The super 3 gun has a supper short reset.
