Looking for some input on technique for trigger pull on a double action shot.
I've got a Ruger P-95, which in double action has a fairly long, heavy trigger pull, and I suppose this would apply to any double action handgun.
I had originally learned that it's best to have a smooth, consistent pull on the trigger throughout the shot.
However, when practicing with dry-fire at home and during range sessions, I've begun to pre-load the shot by pulling the trigger about 80% of the way, pausing, waiting for the perfect sight-picture and then finishing the shot.
Particularly with dry-fire practice, I've noticed a bit of an unpredictable wobble if I make it one smooth pull, and by pre-loading the trigger I'm able to re-acquire the target.
So, what do you all think? Should I go with what works, or learn to control the long, heavy double action pull in one stroke? What are some techniques I can use to improve the trigger control in double-action?
I plan on acquiring more double-action revolvers and pistols, so I'd like to learn proper technique.
