This grabbing action of the trigger finger tends to steer the gun to one side. For a right-handed shooter, it usually results in the gun being pulled over to the right as the finger’s arc comes inward, toward the palm. (Now do you see why I avoid the term ‘trigger pull’? The last thing I want to do is encourage the student to pull the gun even more!)

The usual reaction is to curl the finger even more, so that the tip contacts the frame. This contact pushes the gun in the opposite direction of the finger arc, and if carefully done the two forces cancel each other and the gun stays relatively straight.

As I said upfront, my primary interest is in the revolver as a self-defense tool. Getting both of those forces just right is easy on the target range, when you can clearly watch your sights and there is no life-or-death pressure. Doing it in the face of a determined attack, perhaps in sub-optimal light, is another matter. Even in competition it’s not easy, because as the pace of shooting increases it becomes harder to balance those forces with the care necessary.
