Looking to purchase one of the triggertech models, not sure which one would “best” for PRS competitions. I’m under the impression it’s more than likely subjective but I would like to know real world use difference between the models they offer.
Trigger tech for PRS comps

I would go with the Diamond its the most common because of the pull weight range most people like to run
I believe the only difference between models is the pull weight range

It all depends on which pull weight you prefer to use. If you like a really light trigger something like a diamond may be nice. If you like something in the middle, then special it is, but it probably doesn’t really pay to run a diamond if you like to run a trigger in the 2.5+ range.
I have the pro curve. I have not used the Diamond straight. I have tried straight triggers on other platforms and did not care for them. I think it is mostly what you become familiar with. I have pulled curved triggers all my life so a straight one feels funny. If I trained with a straight one then I am sure it would become second nature.
It’s all subjective, it’s hard to say I like them therefore you’ll feel the same way. My Tubb t7t has a reverseable shoe, I tried the flat for a while but ended up going back to the traditional curved shoe. It’s just a preference thing.

I have an older standard model from their initial introductory pricing (like $90 if memory serves) several years ago. I also just got a Special model last week. I also borrowed a friend's Diamond model a couple months ago to test it out. The safety levers are a little bit different on the new ones, but I think that's across the board, not mode-specific.
As far as difference from one to the next, it's all about pull weight. They're all single stage clean breaks. The Diamond goes way lower than I'd ever use, which is why I bought the Special recently, and I like the 1.5ish lb range. My Standard model doesn't quite adjust down as low as advertised, nor quite as light as I'd like, but it's still very usable.

I switched all my rifles to TT Diamonds, with flat shoes. Best trigger I've ever used. You won't be disappointed with whatever shape shoe you get. Buy once, cry once.
You cant go wrong with any triggertech. I've got a diamond and have specials on the way. They all still feel better tha any other triggers I've tried.
Curved is right, and'l end the fight, when that steel, is in our sight. LOL.
I do like the shape of the Pro trigger!
I've got a Diamond with the flat shoe, and it's my favorite trigger of any that I've felt.
I prefer single stage triggers personally, and this trigger definitely isn't for anyone who prefers a 2-stage. There is 0 perceptible take-up or creep on this trigger, it's really fantastic (if you like true single stage triggers).
The flat shoe is my preference since I can use the little bump at the bottom of the shoe to make certain I have my trigger finger in the exact same spot every time. I just position my finger so I can barely feel the bump and I know it's in the same spot every time. It also works well to have my finger that low on the trigger shoe in my XLR Envy, since that means my finger is perfectly straight instead of angling up to reach the middle of a trigger shoe based on how that grip positions my hand.

I have the diamond it’s pretty damn near perfect. Would love to try the flat compared to my curved though. As my ar pistol has a two stage flat I like
All my rifles have TT Diamond Flats. I've played will all the different shoes and prefer the flat with the vertical grips like MPA and MDT chassis.
In that case the Diamond is the nicest trigger I've ever felt. It has run flawlessly in the most detrimental conditions I've shot it. Buy with confidence!! I've been running around 10oz for PRS matches.
I bought one of the TT Special flat triggers a few months ago and have compared it next to a Jewel that's on my 308.
Both triggers set at 1.5# which is were I prefer I can honestly say I prefer the feel of the TT better.
Not exactly sure what it is but there's enough difference to my untrained finger, maybe the complete absence of any perceived over travel.

Same boat. Converted from single stage triggers to 2 stage triggers. Last single stage trigger I had was actually a TT trigger. It certainly is a nice crisp trigger, however I have found you get much better trigger control with a 2 stage trigger.
I look forward to when (if) TT ever comes out with a 2 stage trigger, I would be interested in trying one. Until then, I'll stick with Bix 'n Andy triggers.
When I first got my TT Diamond it felt strange to me after switching from a Timney.. I was so used to the creep of my Timney I couldnt get used to the timing of the Triggertech. It really is that good, NO CREEP. after using it for awhile I could never go back to Timney. I chose the Pro Curve and it has a great feel to it.
