Trigger curve

It seams to be dependent on a number of factors. The shooter, the pull weight and the specific Trigger. Bear in mind that a 1911 is Single Action Only. CZ 75 variant safety models can be converted to SAO and then make use of a Flat SAO Trigger.

There are many DA/SA Trigger options that are compatible with CZ 75 variants these days. The factory Black Recurve trigger that so many shooters seam to dislike, has been replaced recently, at the factory in a number of models by a Trigger closer to the Old 85c trigger.

CZ Customs offers a Straight DA/SA Trigger as well currently. This trigger presents at a steeper angle than a Flat Single Action Only Trigger in SA.

I have also seen a number of folks alter their CZ triggers to their personal preference. I have changed the tips of a few CZ Triggers myself to smooth them out.

Here are some reference pictures of some of the CZ options.

Gritty pull and really heavy pull weight bother me more than trigger shape, tbh

[Tolstoy]

That is some great information, thanks.

Outside of grit, pull, and all that I just really want the bottom of the trigger to stop poking into my finger. I either have too much finger tip on the trigger and it was designed for skinny fingers, or I'm doing it wrong.

1911 trigger slides back. Most of the other triggers pivot. That changes the feel of the trigger as you pull it. Also, the length of trigger pull and the weight of the trigger will affect how you feel about the curvature of the trigger surface as you pull it back.

For example, when you pull a flat 1911 trigger, you're pulling directly against the force of the spring at all times. If you pull a curved DA trigger on a S&W revolver, you're pretty much doing the same - puling directly against the pressure as the trigger pivots. If you used a flat trigger on the revolver, you'd be pulling only partially against the spring and partially sliding along the trigger.

It's best to try different shapes for different guns and pay close attention to whether you're "sliding" along the trigger. That will add to the weight of the pull because only a component of the force goes against the spring...

The width of the trigger and serrations will affect how imperfections in the pull (especially at speed) affect the gun movement. If you don't pull straight back, different shapes will affect your gun differently.

Again, there isn't a single best answer here because a lot depends on the shape of your hands, your grip, finger length, beefiness, etc.

I like the flat trigger much more than the curve trigger, but it is too expensive to swap to a flat trigger.

I like curved triggers with no serrations.

Generally speaking I find I prefer a flat trigger. But curved triggers don't bother me too much and I can't say as I've ever fired a gun where I thought the trigger was too curved, with the possible exception of the M&P's. But those are kind of weird triggers in general, in that they're hinged right in the middle of the curve.

I will also have the serrations taken out of the trigger face on 1911's whenever I can.

It's personal preference... I prefer a curved trigger.

The only trigger that has ever bothered me is my Sig Sauer P238. It's elliptical with serrations but that's not the problem. The trigger's lower limb was very sharp and having larger fingers it really hurt to shoot it.
Found out it's made of some form of plastic so the easy fix was to wrap the stainless steel trigger guard with a couple layers of protective masking tape and using a metal finger nail file, carefully rasp down the sharp edge.

Two guns that have curved triggers that just did not fit right for me, the Ruger Mk III 22/45 and Browning Buck Mark. I suffered with the Buck Mark from 1985 until the TandemKross flat trigger came out a couple years ago. I liked it so much I put one on the Ruger also. I have around 30 handguns and these were the only two that just did not work for me.

I thought I really wanted an SP-01 until I rented and shot one. Recurve trigger really irritated my finger and there was way too much stacking and creep.

I prefer a flat trigger. I converted my Shadow 2 from DA/SA to SAO with a flat trigger and it feels amazing. My Glock 19 has the Overwatch Tac trigger. Only gun that I own with a curbed trigger is my FNX45 Tactical, which has a great trigger.
