Flat or curved triggers. Poll options reflect all genders. Do you shoot better with which?

i own no triggers...

I was going to joke about curved triggers and straight women, but I better not say anything.
Shutting my mouth now.

binary triggers are illegal so only non-binary are allowed.

This is something that I never tested out. I do like the feel of a flat trigger (dry fire). Like on the newer P320's or P365's. But testing which is better with live fire side by side is unknown to me.  IMO, I feel the 320/365 curved triggers are much more curved than your Glock, HK, etc...Even the other SIG P models seem much more curved.

I don't discriminate.  As long as the trigger can get the job done, i'm open to flat, curved, smooth, ridged, skeletonized, etc.

But, the reset distance is a deal breaker.  Who wants a long reset?

I am sure there is probably some scientific answer to this question, about how pressure is felt against a curve vs a flat surface but I think there are many other things that would matter a whole lot more in terms of quality shooting.

I always thought they look cool and wanted one but can't recall ever actually shooting one.

If history tells us anything I think it would be that curved is better, seems like flat triggers are a pretty recent fad. Just have to find a Japanese firearm maker and see if they are flat or curved because they take things to absolute perfection

yeah, the Japanese firearms market is yuge...

I thought the Japanese were known for some very high end firearms? Maybe I am mistaken.

Science cannot explain everything like this because there are variable that are unique that would affect "on paper" results.

Both. . . preference depending in area and purpose.  Curves in the right areas, and flat in others. . .    

Seriously, I have both.  Preferences depend on gun type.  Pistol, AR, bolt action, etc. 

Pistol - I mostly have flat.  Trying different ones at the moment, but I currently like the ones with a lip at the end of the trigger (for various reasons). 

AR - I mostly have flat Geissle, but have curved OEM/milspec and Geissele.  I haven't done shot timer tests, but I don't think I would get a measureable difference between the two.

Bolt action - I have all TT pro-curve.  Mostly because what was in stock when I got my first and stuck with it.  Have seen lots of various preferences.  For now, I like how the pro-curve has the finger placement on a consistent level.  I'll have to tune my newer TT triggers closer for more consistency.  Noticeable on paper? Different guns, different loads, to can't say, but overall consistency can't hurt.  I've also seen many who prefer flat triggers incorporate index points on their triggers.  Though I wonder how many consistently can set/feel, say in a PRS type match where time is ticking, vice a more calm/steady shooting pace. 

gud enuff...

It's 100% subjective, a personal preference.  But Mr Objective hasn't deemed it so -- therefore he needs to discuss the "science."

some folks just get triggered

Another sort of related, I like the bladed triggers for an extra layer of safety.  The guns that I would like that have a flat factory trigger, don't come bladed. Like P320 or P365.  But the curve on the SIG's look a lot more than other brands compared to my S&W Shield or VP9, of which, both are bladed.
