After trying out short, medium and long triggers, I installed a flat trigger on my SW1911 last week and I'm loving it. I never put much thought into flat triggers before, but now that I've done it, I think I might switch out all my triggers. My question is: do any of you use flat triggers? why, and do you love them too?
SW1911PD, 10-8 flat trigger:

| I do not use one, but I am pretty sure they install them on the 10-8 guns. From what I have been told it is to assist in fast shooting. No matter where you get your finger on the trigger, the pull should still be the same. Not a fan of the look, but I like the concept. |
| I just had a 10-8 flat trigger installed on my CQB. I absolutely love it. I can put my finger wherever it lands on the trigger and the reach and trigger pull is the same. The trigger pull weight feels lighter as less of your finger is in contact wth the trigger. My over travel is now 0 and there is an imperceptible amount of up and dowm movement in the trigger. I actually prefer the look too. I'd highly recommend this trigger. |

Nice. I was looking at those, how do you like them? Do you ever change out the length? |

I've tried long, short, etc triggers...then I installed a Caspian Trik-Trigger...and I love it.
Yeah, it's a bit long, but ok. Here's the thing; I discovered serrated curved triggers, even long ones, chew my finger badly after a couple hundred rounds. With a flat trigger...my finger doesn't get chewed at all. The only curved trigger that DIDN'T chew up my finger was one I took sandpaper to and smoothed out flat. I liked it, but it's still looking like ass, and since it's smooth...my finger can glide off of it. With a flat one, I keep the grip on my finger that I want, but don't find myself missing skin after a long day at the range. Just my humble experience... If I could find one a little tiny bit shorter, I'd love it even more, but the Caspian so far has hooked me big. |

Glad I'm not the only one with "girly hands"...my index finger looks like someone drilled a hole in it after 130 rounds through my Les Baer on Friday. |

Nice. I was looking at those, how do you like them? Do you ever change out the length? When I was picking a trigger I went from medium curved, long curve, to medium flat (which is the same length as long curve in the center), to long flat and loved it. Inserts are only 20 bucks and if you don't like it trade it out. |

 +1 on these - they are awesome and if you decide to change up the length at a later time, just swap the insert with one of the number of them that are available to change the look/feel. The Caspian Trik triggers are also nice, as mentioned, if your hand size/finger length requires something a little longer than a std. curved trigger. |
