| What is the idea behind the straight trigger design vs. the curved design? |
| A straight trigger can be more advantageous for those with long fingers. Both triggers have the same pivot point, but the straight trigger design allows those with long fingers to have a better pad position on the trigger. In some cases, the curverd trigger can be over reached and result in poor positioning of the trigger finger. This can often leed to poor accuracy as one will have a tendency to pull or push because of poor position on the trigger. For most shooters, curved triggers are no problem, but for the taller shooter, they could be. Of course, like most things, practice makes perfect. |
| Interestingly enough, the same reason I like the straight/flat trigger on my SPR will also be commented as the same reason someone else doesn't like the straight trigger. Consistent finger position on the CMC Trigger is very easy because their flat trigger has a tail at the bottom that you can definitely feel as you place your finger. |

I agree with both of the two previous answers. I find that shooting with the last third of my index finger makes me more accurate. By using the flat trigger and I add a swell to my grip under my index finger I am forced into that position. Using the least amount of finger necessary makes it less likely that I have the finger strength to move the gun when squeezing of a round. I am happy with the CMC flat 3.5 pound trigger.
