Why do many folks think flat triggers are so great?
I like flat triggers that offer me a longer trigger reach.

On my 1911's I like how they feel, not how they look.
I put one on my Tanfoglio Limted for the same reason, to increase trigger reach. I don't prefer
the feel of the flat trigger on that.
I have/have had them on Glocks and it really make no difference to me on them.

I really like the CGW flat triggers on my SA CZs! They both are adjusted for very little take up and over travel, improved the guns vastly. I don't think I would care for a DA/SA pistol set up with a flat trigger though...

Put whatever you like on your pistol, couldn’t care less. I have a flat trigger on one pistol, my Scorpion, but it has a brace.

Umm, this is not about "What should I put on my pistol?", because I don't need people's opinion about that. Wink

I went with a semi flat trigger on my G19 & G27.
I helps to give tactile feed back that I'm pulling the trigger straight to the rear vs pushing or pulling as the hard edges produce more pressure (feel) on the pad of my finger.
I can instantly tell when I'm not pulling the trigger properly.

My shooting partner cant get a tight group from a mag out of his G19.
I handed him mine & he cloverleafed all but two.

I can't say I like it or would like it on all my pistols but on my Glocks I really do.
I was never a fan of the feel of a standard Glock trigger as the length of pull (distance from the face of the trigger to the back strap) is just a bit longer than I am used to not to mention the grip angle.

So for me this works very well.

Only one I have exposure to is my X-Carry. I really like that trigger. But Its a small sample I'm working with.

Not a fan of flat triggers. Folks today are far too interested in fixing (read modernizing) what ain’t broke.

I have a flat trigger from Kineti Tec on one of my Glock pistols and I prefer it over the standard ridged trigger. I have the factory trigger bar and nothing has changed the pull weight but somehow it feels lighter/better. I plan on getting a couple more. I had an APEX flat trigger on my 320 and it was amazing at how much better the pistol felt/fired.

I have 2 ARs with CMC flat triggers that I bought because the price was too good to pass up. But I have four ARs with curved triggers.
My CZ 75SAO has a flat trigger. I think I can feel the triggers reset better when I'm trying to go fast with the flat trigger vs a curved.
