Trigger Mike Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 The new thing out there being promoted is a flat trigger. Even the new S & W AR 15 commemorating their move to TN has a flat trigger . Is a flat trigger better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had flat triggers on several pistols in the past and found it to be fine. I've tried it on some of my newer tactical Tupperware and ended up getting my finger pinched between trigger and guard. I've pretty much gone back to or stayed with curved triggers in the last two years. Lot of my shooting friends all have them in their modern pistols and rifles though and they love it - obviously YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Dan Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Never was a fan of the flat triggers till I tried the Sig P320 X5 Legion. It is the only pistol I own with a flat trigger. It is also the pistol I shoot the most accurately. Could be it has nothing to do with the trigger, but it works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singin' Sue 71615 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I have seen more bleeding from flat trigger pinches, that cause me to stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 My SIG P365XL came with a flat trigger. I couldn't yank it out and replace it with a normal curved trigger fast enough. If some people prefer them then great, but I don't think the advantages are anything more than what's in the shooter's head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 a curved trigger depending on where you are pressing will have a different trigger pull weight. A flat trigger has less differentiation. I have flat in a cpl 1911's and a cpl AR's and prefer them to curved as press always feels the same. YMMV.

Slapshot Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I guess a flat trigger is in your head like a lower hammer spur. What works for some doesn't work for others. Doesn't mean its not a good thing though. Nice to have variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

July Smith Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I have a short stroked Uberti 1873 with a Slix flat trigger. Made a world of difference to me when it came to shooting the rifle especially on targets requiring multiple hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
