Not sure if y'all saw it yet but American Trigger recently came out with a flat version of their awesome AR Gold trigger.

JTSUM15 saves you 15% on this new version too.

What's everyone's opinion of flat trigger v curved trigger?

I've been using the CMC flat trigger for a bit, and I prefer the curved.
Just couldn't get used to it, some guys are all about it though.

I have long fingers and like flat triggers in my rifle and 2011. I was using the excellent flat CMC but now have a rise armament for little over 1yr. It's very much like the gold IMO with a more positive reset.

Can you extrapolate? Why long finger likes flat trigger? Where it lands on trigger, a slightly length from Palm to face of trigger etc.

I really noticed the most difference with 2011 trigger. Basically gets trigger finger more of a 90Â° angle to the trigger which seemed to help me on follow up shots expecially. I guess it's really probably shooter preference but flat triggers feel more natural to me also and I think I can keep a more consistant grip not feeling like I reach for the trigger which also gives me a more consistant finger placement. Or maybe I just want to think the flat trigger is helping me. Either way I prefer them

I find the it feels flatter then the curved trigger. When you roll up at the range with a golden flatty all the Timmys be like, bawler!

It's not that the trigger is flat that's getting you to the 90 degrees, it's that the flat trigger you are using is longer.

Yes very true Mike. I didn't think about it that way but yes I use the longest I could find, STI gunsmith blank, flat trigger in my 2011. So it technically is a long trigger I like more than a flat trigger I suppose but being flat just makes it longer.
