Sig P320 trigger, curved vs Flat

[Cornhusker77]

I recently picked up a couple of P320 pistols, and decided to try a straight trigger in one, just to see if it made a difference.
I got the plain straight trigger shoe from Sig and put it in the one without the red dot.
I will say I like the look and the feel, but it doesn't seem to make much difference in shooting.
Maybe one of these days I'll go further and change the trigger bar and springs, but for now, it's good enough.
These are standing at 25 ft. before and after the trigger shoe change.

I think the flat trigger "gives the perception" of a reduced trigger pull while not actually having a reduced trigger pull. It is the leverage and geometry that I find to make a difference.

The flat trigger gives you more leverage which makes the pull FEEL lighter. I have a couple of guns with flat triggers and don't see a HUGE difference. At the same time I don't see any downsides either. Not sure I'd pay money to swap triggers to get a flat one. But everything else being equal I think I'd choose flat over traditional if I had the option when buying.

Agreed. P365 Xmacro with straight and regular P365 with curved. Both shoot nicely where I point them.

Me too.

I haven't put a flat trigger into one of my 320s (yet) but I've got SIG's flat triggers in a couple 365s and a 226 Legion SAO. I kinda fell in love with the flat trigger for the first time with the Legion, likely because it's simply an amazing, superb shooting piece of fine engineering. Then I got a few 365s in hand, while I shoot about the same with the curved trigger, like some are saying, the flat trigger just feels lighter.

I'm a believer, I don't know that I shoot appreciably better, but for some reason, the flat trigger... just trips my trigger.

Not sure I'd pay money to swap triggers to get a flat one. But everything else being equal I think I'd choose flat over traditional if I had the option when buying.

Right now (since I've spent way too much already this year), that is exactly the way I'm thinking.

Same, I don't see any significant difference in groups but I do prefer the feel of a flat trigger.
Only accessory I pit on my p320 that made a noticeable difference was a GoGas pedal.

There is just something, esthetically, that bugs me with flat triggers, kinda like the hooked triggerguards on Glocks (and lotsa other things). It's also why I prefer Smith revos (well, that and some other stuff) to Kimbers, which look like they were designed with a straight edge.
A buddy has a Turk HiPower, and I've an SA-35. His has a flat trigger. I need to shoot them back to back, in order to have a (more or less) informed opinion.

I find the curved triggers easier to index my finger on, unless I put it on the end of the flat trigger where the kink is, which is too far down to be comfortable.

My 320XC has a flat trigger and I find its a bit annoying. That's probably because its the only gun I have with a flat trigger on it, and its "different".

One thing that, Im not sure if its me or the gun, but I find that there's a decent amount of trigger slap with it and my finger is noticeably sore after shooting with it. Not crappy US 922(r) "AK" trigger slap bad, but not far off either.

 

[Cornhusker77]

I think I'll keep my other P320 stock for now.
It's the full size with a red dot, so it's a little hard to compare.
I guess I could swap slides and try the straight trigger with the red dot, just to see if I like it or not.
I'm not convinced I'm a red dot kind of guy, but it is getting easier to use the more I play with it.

For hundreds of years, guns have had curved triggers. Flat triggers just look like weird affectations to me.

 

[Walkalong]

They’re nice in some applications

I can shoot either way but the flat trigger just feels better. They came on my XTen, 365XL and a couple of 1911s. I won't go through the trouble of changing them out on my pistols. I did however put one of the new Timney flat trigger hunters in my 7-08. Made a difference at the range. These are adjustable down to 1.5 lbs. Again the flat trigger just has a better feel.

I prefer flatties, but it clearly falls into the "whatever floats your boat" category.
