This is about as hard core of just what you need in a blaster. Great sights, great trigger and a magwell!


And here is Project: Firefly

Very nice build. Your aesthetic sense is obvious on every one of your guns even though they all differ. Not too sure about the flat trigger. Got to try one to see what that's all about. Colt style mags or SA "feed ramp" style mags?

I don't think I have ever fit up one of the flat triggers either. I might have done 1 but I can't remember for sure. I've been thinking about sticking one in my pistol to see how it feels. Your magwell fit up looks very nice along with the beavertail fit, etc. Nice work. jt

Did the flat trigger thing a couple of decades ago, or more.

I found it didn't make any difference for me, so haven't had one for some time now.

Then again, I've shot so many different handguns, for so long, that flat vs. arched mainsprings, and a whole lot of other details, don't seem to matter.

My brain just adjusts, without me involved, which is probably a good thing.

But, a fine looking blaster.

I would say that if you practice sight picture and trigger press it really shouldn't matter what you pick up and what type of trigger profile it has.
I will say that if I run them back to back I would go with a curved, but running just one I will tend to lean towards a flat(well a modified profile and length like Firefly).
