Flat trigger vs. Curve trigger

[stormvet]

O shoot my SP-01 one very well and it’s 100% stock. No need to change the trigger. Many people will blame the gun or change it because the internet told them they have to in order to get better, but in reality they probably just suck and should practice more.

I’ve owned two SP-01’s, have over 15,000 rounds fired with them. I shoot them darn well, the problem is the trigger shape sucks for long high round count training days, you’ll figure it out once you put some rounds through yours. I’ve owned and shot them for over 10 years, first one I bought was in 09. Not a rookie with them.

great! it saves me money to be used for ammo.

I really don't have a preference. To me a trigger is a trigger. The position of my finger on the trigger is dictated by the gun.

Personal preference. It really doesn't matter. I prefer curved triggers i guess. Flat triggers technically give the user a bit more control of the pull, depending on where you engage the trigger. Also, they look cooler. lol

In the end, training is what matters.

If guns came with flat triggers, then guys would be switching them out for curved triggers. It's the same old story- everybody thinks they need something different than stock. Not that it's better, it's just different.

I thought it was super duper tactical and all the tier 1 guy were running them...to operate operationally

+1 preference
I like my trigger just like how I like my women - curved.

I seem to shoot just fine with a curved trigger. I don't see any reason to switch to a straight trigger.

I only have one flat/straight trigger, a timney one on an AR. I simply went flat trigger because it was on Black Friday kind of deal for $79. Great trigger, rifles a shooter, I wouldn’t say I notice a difference but I have no complaints. Also not like looking to convert all my other firearms.

[QED]

is there any reason why one should switch to flat trigger? i'm curious if this is just a matter of preference, improvement, cool factor or all of the above?

For a small frame AR get a Timney Calvin Elite trigger and you can use any trigger type that you like. 1.5 lb trigger pull - the best trigger you can get for a precision AR build.

I like flat on my rifles. It feels better with long fingers, to me. Not so sure it changes my speed or accuracy though.
