Flat or curved trigger

[RustedFrog]

I am wondering what everyone's opinion is on triggers. My limited gun has a curved trigger and the open gun that I have been shooting for a couple years has a flat trigger. I am finally in the finishing stages of building my own open gun and I put a flat trigger in it. However, I am really thinking of a curved. For the people that have a strong opinion one way or the other what is reasoning for it?

I got the long flat trigger from Atlas, and it’s awesome

[RustedFrog]

I was looking at the medium flat from atlas or a long curved. The open gun that I have been shooting has a medium flat and my limited has a short curved. I definitely like the position of the medium better but I cannot tell you if curved vs flat makes a difference. Or if it is just how far out the trigger is. The one I put in my new build is a long flat. But it wont be done for a week or so more.

Short flat for me.....it improved my tendencies of " pushing " shots.

The good thing about them is there adjustable, but you have to take it all apart to adjust it. I shot a couple matches with mine, and Area 4, never had any problems. I do like the feel over the curved that I had for a couple years. I shot the STI gunsmith blank in my limited set up, and was wanting that feeling again. It’s German steel so supposedly it makes the trigger bow stronger.

The one I put in is the STI gunsmith blank.

I strongly prefer the flat.

i like my flat trigger because i shoot better with it. If you like the curved trigger, that's fine with me.

 

my grip on the gun is high, so my finger ends up pretty high on the trigger too. If my finger was in the middle, I'd probably be fine with curved.

I prefer a flat trigger too.

Flat here

[Broncman]

Convex curve here...

[echotango]

Flat. 

[Aggieddad02]

 run flat triggers in all of my 2011 guns.  Tried the curved trigger but just did not like the feel compared to a flat trigger 

[chevrofreak]

Look at the SVIguns site under trigger parts.  There's a top curve and bottom curve type.

I like flat. Med flat

[Moloch38]

Med flat.

[Steelix]

Med flat, but I had a GM tell me to try a short flat to help with trigger freeze.

I think (IMHO) the major advantage of a flat trigger is that you can place your finger

lower on the trigger, which will make a heavy trigger feel lighter (fulcrum).

 

On an OPEN gun, you will have the trigger tuned to your desired weight, so straight

or curved shouldn't matter too much, unless you are like Moto above who has his

finger high on the trigger - then a flat will be better.

I prefer the consistency of a flat trigger. What I mean by consistency is that finger placement is less critical in getting a consistent trigger pull.

I run a short flat insert on mine iv tried med but the way I manipulate the trigger( slap it) with the med insert I tend to push it rounds impact on the right( I'm left handed)

I run a flat trigger on all my competition guns, to include both tac shotguns. I've heard of a semi-flat trigger, but have yet to see one.
