This video provides a head-to-head comparison of the Girsan CMXX and MAC 9 DS Comp handguns. Both are 4.25-inch barrel, double-stack 1911 style pistols chambered in 9mm. The MAC 9 DS Comp features a steel frame and a 70-series trigger without a firing pin block, while the Girsan CMXX has an aluminum frame and includes a firing pin block safety. The reviewer notes differences in grip texturing, optic mounting systems, and compensator designs, ultimately recommending both but leaning towards the Girsan CMXX for its perceived confidence-inspiring ergonomics.
This review of the CZ P-01 highlights specific design elements the speaker dislikes, including glow-in-the-dark iron sights, an overextended slide catch that interferes with the support thumb, and a curved trigger. Despite these criticisms, the speaker acknowledges the pistol's exceptional accuracy and immediate shootability.
This guide, informed by professional firearms instructors from GUNBROS, breaks down the functional differences between flat and curved triggers. It explains the physics behind perceived trigger pull weight, the advantages of each design for different firearm actions (like DA/SA vs. striker-fired), and highlights hybrid options. The information is presented to help shooters make informed decisions about their gear preferences and understand firearm mechanics better.
This video discusses the subjective preference between curved and flat firearm triggers. While the speaker initially leans towards flat triggers for a perceived smoother feel and better wall detection, they acknowledge that personal preference plays a significant role, and they can also appreciate the feel of a curved trigger. Ultimately, neither design is definitively superior.
Ben Stoeger reviews the Staccato HD pistol, noting its mixed bag of features. While it checks many boxes like ambidextrous controls and drop safety, he finds the 4-inch version 'snappier' and the safety disengagement less comfortable than other platforms. He discusses ordering the 4.5-inch HD with a premium package, hoping it will offer a better shooting experience.
This video showcases a custom Springfield Armory SA-35, a Hi-Power clone. The firearm features a unique sniper gray and graphite black finish, an 11-degree crown barrel, and upgraded sights.

This video provides an in-depth review of the SIG Sauer P320 Australian MOD Edition, a special release from Sig's Special Weapons Group (SWG) program. The firearm is based on the P320 utilized by the Australian Defense Forces and shares similarities with the US M18/M17 variants. Key features include a coyote PVD slide, X-Carry grip, ambidextrous manual safety, curved trigger, and it comes equipped with a Romeo 2 optic and Foxtrot 2 weapon light. The review highlights its suitability as a collector's item or a proven duty firearm.
This video explains why flat-faced triggers can offer a perceived lighter pull compared to curved triggers. The instructor demonstrates how the flat surface allows for more leverage by enabling the shooter to press the trigger at its lowest point, closer to the pivot, effectively reducing the felt trigger pull weight by up to 40%. This technique utilizes the trigger guard as a consistent reference point for finger placement.
This video provides an in-depth look at the Century Arms Draco Tactical, highlighting its features and tactical enhancements. The presenter, Aaron, details the firearm's muzzle device, M-LOK handguard, integrated rear sight, enhanced safety selector with a manipulation shelf, US Palm magazine release, curved trigger, and Strike Industries brace. The discussion also touches on the firearm's construction, noting a forged trunnion and BFT-47 designation, and expresses anticipation for its performance, particularly the muzzle flash.
This YouTube video compares flat versus curved triggers in firearms, aiming to determine which design is superior. The analysis will likely cover ergonomic differences, perceived advantages, and potential impacts on shooting performance, such as accuracy and speed. It's geared towards firearm owners and enthusiasts looking to understand trigger characteristics and make informed decisions about firearm modifications or selections.
This video explains the physics behind flat face versus curved handgun triggers. For most hinged triggers, a flat face allows for a higher radius, reducing the force required for a lighter perceived pull. Curved triggers naturally position the finger closer to the pivot, increasing force. The 1911's non-hinged trigger is noted as an exception.
This video compares the Sig Sauer P365, P365 XL, and P365 X Comp, highlighting differences in grip size, trigger type, barrel length, and the presence of a compensator.
