Like so many others, I’ve found that this position – ideally centered on the trigger face – gives the best combination of leverage against trigger weight. This mechanical advantage also allows for better control of the trigger. The finger doesn’t tire as quickly, and movement is smoother. With a little bit of practice, the first joint placement allows the shooter to manipulate the trigger with as little imparted motion to the gun as possible.

In times past it was taught that the pad of the finger should be the surface that pressed on the trigger. While there are still a few prominent (and very successful) shooters and trainers who champion this method, I think it’s safe to say that the majority opinion has long since shifted to the distal joint position, and not just for revolver shooting.

As I’ve mentioned, a gun that is a bit small for the hand is much easier to deal with than one which is too large. If yours is too large, or perhaps just borderline, consider a change in either the grips or the gun itself to something which better fits your for the job of practicing trigger control. Once you’ve mastered the double action trigger you can make do with a large gun, but starting out with such a size mismatch makes learning more difficult.
