Hello all,
Where do most of you place your finger on the trigger? I know there are slightly different methods recommended for double action revolvers, single action autos, and double action, but I'm mainly curious about DAO autos.
Most of what I've studied says you should use either the pad, close to the fingertip, or right in between the tip and the first crease. However, recently I've seen a number of references to the "power crease," that is, snugging the curve of the trigger right into the spot where your first knuckle joins the second.
I've got an XD .40, and I've only shot it with the trigger halfway between tip and crease. Since I've read about the other method, I haven't had a chance to go to the range, but in dry fire practice it feels great. I feel like I have a better grip on the gun and better control in general. It's also easier for me to squeeze the trigger without causing the barrel to move slightly with the motion.
Does anyone else use this method? Can anyone vouch for its efficiency? It seems to be the most stable, precise platform for me to shoot from so far. However, I'm a relatively new to shooting practice and I don't want to start any bad habits.
