Re: If you are considering a KIDD trigger.............

I know it is personal preference but I just got mine back from Tony to have a straight blade installed. The difference is huge (to the better).
He suggests the straight blade if you have a pistol grip type of stock. I have both and would prefer it on both.
Just my .02

To be clear, while using a straight or curved trigger blade is up to personal preference, the straight blade is recommended for stocks whose grip is more vertical such as those on an Anschutz-style stock. Not all "pistol grip" stocks (which can also have more relaxed orientations of a <span style="font-style: italic">"pistol grip"</span>) are ideal for use with a straight blade.
Vertical grips are preferred over more "relaxed" grips because vertical grips orient the firing hand (and trigger finger) horizontally. The combination of a vertical grip and straight blade help keep the contact angle between the blade and trigger finger square, which also helps to maintain a straight-back pull. While a straight-back pull is always preferred, it is especially helpful when a very light pull weight is used (like benchrest shooting).
Hunting stocks traditionally have more relaxed, less vertical grips, and the firing hand and the trigger finger are often pointed slightly downward. As a result the contact angle of the trigger and trigger finger is no longer "square", resulting in a less sensitivity as well as a less efficient, angled pull.
