Have always heard that the trigger should be pulled with the pad of the index finger. Never paid much attention and did whatever came naturally. Recently I tried to compare my shooting using the finger pad to pull the trigger to using the first joint.
I'm finding that pulling the trigger with the pad of the index finger only works well with single action triggers that are fairly light. Using the pad for double action, heavy single action triggers, or S.A. triggers with creep disturbs aim as trigger pressure increases and/or the trigger moves aft. In those cases, pulling the trigger with the first joint seems to steady the aim.
Wondering if this is common or if my grips are sized wrong for my hand. What's your experience?
