I read that the flat trigger is supposed to make the trigger pull feel lighter. I'm not sure why it would.

Not unless you get one of those rare triggers made from unobtanium. Those also increase accuracy, grow hair on your bald spot, make sex more satisfying, and earn 24% interest tax free.

I tried making a flat trigger from a curved trigger.  Ended up with an angled trigger and never really tried to straighten and make it right...maybe someday.  As for length of trigger, when I was golfing a lot I started buying and wearing a glove.  Found out that I needed a "Cadet" glove, which means short fingered.  This led me to going with short triggers on my 1911's. Don't shoot better but at least I don't have that excuse...LOL.  Also had to have a special thumb safety made up where the pad extends back more rather that forward because of my short stubby thumbs.

FWIW

I've got 5 1911's and 3 of them have a long 10-8 flat trigger. The only reason the other 2 don't have them is I haven't gotten around to changing them yet. I like the consistent trigger pull no matter where my finger hits. I think the deal with the perceived "lighter feel" is with the long, straight trigger you don't really have to move the trigger much when you press. It feels lighter since there is so little movement. I personally like them since I have real long hands so it just feels better on a 1911 to me. I also prefer an arched mainspring for the same reason.
