Your finger, the trigger, and even some geometry

How your finger fits the trigger is important because it affects how the two interact with each other. How they interact affects your ability to keep the gun aligned on target as the stroke is completed. It’s very common for shooters to continually fight that interaction, and they’re not even aware that they’re doing it!

I said that the trigger compression should be straight back, but in practice it’s a little more difficult than that. If you think about it, you’ll realize that your fingertip never really travels straight for any distance. That’s because it pivots at the joints, and a pivot doesn’t allow straight motion. A pivot imparts a circular motion, and if you hold your trigger finger in front of your face and flex it you’ll notice that the tip doesn’t describe a straight line. At some point, no matter how much you manipulate the muscles and pivots in your finger, its path starts to curve.

If you think further, you’ll realize that a revolver’s trigger doesn’t go straight back either. It pivots too, and the tip of the trigger describes a circle. (You’ll note that your trigger guard is curved to match the arc of the trigger.)
