Considering the trigger face

This method works with the kinds of triggers that have been standard on revolvers for the last few decades: medium width and with smooth faces.

In earlier days, before double action shooting was taken as seriously as it is today, most revolvers were manufactured with wide and/or serrated triggers. These were ideal for single action work where the finger doesn’t move much, but greatly hampered good double action work. (The reason for the prevalence of the use of the finger pad to manipulate the trigger was to make the best of those triggers.)

Thankfully, revolver manufacturers have seen fit to give us proper trigger faces. Most of today’s revolvers come with smooth faced triggers, but if you have an older gun with a wide or serrated trigger face a gunsmith can easily rectify the situation. See the chapter on revolver modifications for more information.

Allowing the trigger finger to curl or grab trigger results in steering the gun.

Finger is in same position, but allowed to slide across trigger face. Result is less muzzle movement from the trigger finger.
