Other than cosmetic, what the benefits of having a flat trigger?
After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.

I am not sure of the other reasons... however that particular trigger is a SAO trigger which is MUCH better than the DA/SA triggers. That said, the flat SAO trigger also feels much better for pulling it straight back and seems to fit my finger better.

A gunsmith explained to me that by putting your
trigger finger lower on the trigger - you have a
better fulcrum - less pressure required to pull
the trigger:) Seems to work with my BHP.

It gives you better contact point on the trigger, say your grab your gun a little high or low on your grip. I use a short flat SVI trigger on my competition guns.

Pictured gun is Tactical Sport, it's already SAO from factory.
That flat style trigger gives a little shorter reach, as well as both - over- and pre-travel adjustments.

It makes the distance from pull to break the same no matter where your finger is on the trigger. More consistancy.

there's a cosmetic benefit? 
it's all about feel. i like the feel of a pure flat trigger in SAO mode, it feels 500% faster to shoot than a recurve or 85 combat trigger. it also depends where you're pulling the trigger. pull it low and it is lighter and longer. pull it high and it takes more pull weight but a shorter distance.

Correct on the 500% faster, however the flat trigger was too fast for me and I traded it out for the SAO trigger from the 75B SA. I had a couple of negligent discharges with the flat trigger. The new trigger is much better ergonomically for me.there's a cosmetic benefit?

They ARE chick magnets! Also, I liked the feel of the trigger more when I put one in my TS, although I have to say once the buzzer goes off I doubt there is much noticeable difference unless I am slowing my trigger press down for an accuracy shot.

A agree on the sexyness factor!
After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.

But usually, I prefer smooth curved things than hard straight long appendice...

not really a benefit , more of just a difference
there are a few SAO trigger styles out there for the CZ. most of them have a slight curve at the bottom, have a radius on the trigger face and a couple are a little thicker front to back.
the other difference is that they angle forward and this actually puts the direction of the pull forward the vertical plane of the pivoting point. So the pull feel is slightly different different than current flat trigger.
