 Generally speaking, there are two designs of triggers for handguns... Straight or Curved.

+In contrast, several [[https://www.sigsauer.com/firearms/pistols.html|Sig Sauer pistols]] have straight, flat faced triggers, such as the [[https://www.sigsauer.com/p320-xfive-legion.html|P320 XFive Legion]] (below left) and the [[https://www.sigsauer.com/p365-xl-romeozero.html|P365 XL RomeoZero]] (below right).

+Remembering that all of these pistols are using a “Fulcrum” or “Hinged” trigger mechanism, the difference between curved vs straight triggers has to do with finger placement. The curved triggers are driving your trigger to a specific point, where the straight trigger allows you to place your finger here you feel most comfortable.
+For example, the [[https://www.smith-wesson.com/firearms/mp-9-shield-0|Smith & Wesson M&P® Shield™]] drives your finger toward the center of the trigger -  while the [[https://www.ruger.com/products/lcp/models.html|Ruger LCP]] trigger will drive your finger up to where it touches the frame.
+In contrast, as you pull the trigger on either of the Sig Sauer pistols described, the trigger will quickly reach a point where it is at a 90º angle to the top of the frame.
+Is one "better" than the other? This is arguable. And ultimately, decided by the shooter.
