The shooter sees that the muzzle is always moving, and tries to hold it steady on target just long enough to ‘grab’ the shot when the sights hit the perfect spot. Because the gun is already moving and because the sudden contraction of the hand muscles tends to pull it off target, this usually results in the shot being thrown wildly off target. (Again, why I don’t like the term trigger pull!)

Some people call this snatching the trigger or grabbing the shot, and it’s very common. If you’re trying to shoot accurately in double action but find a percentage of your shots hitting low and/or to the right (to the left if you’re a southpaw), you’re probably doing this. Many times instructors will diagnose a flinch when in reality the problem is trying to grab the shot.

The longer the shooter waits while attempting the shot, the worse the grab tends to be. It’s a psychological issue, not really a physical one. There is the desire to make the shot, and the brain – seeing the sights coming up to the aim point on the target – says “NOW! Come on, you schmuck, PULL that trigger NOW! Hurry, hurry, HURRY!” The shooter obliges, and the shot is off the point of aim – sometimes radically so.
