I have 1911A1 type pistols.
When I hold the pistols, my trigger finger is long enough to rest, slightly bent, on the front side of the trigger guard.
If I place my finger on the trigger so that the trigger is under the "moon" of the fingernail, my finger is bent quite a bit.
I read that the finger should be level on the trigger in order to get the 'straight back' action on the trigger.
For me to have a level finger, I'm pulling with the second bone, approximately half way between the joints. In that position, no other part of my finger touches the frame.
The real problem is that I have a hard time getting the finger placed so that I'm neither pushing or pulling the pistol around when activating the trigger, but getting a nice smooth 'straight back' action.
The question, then, is: Is there a loooong trigger that would allow first bone contact, or should I continue to fight with finger pacement, or learn to shoot using the second bone?
What say you all?
Thanks
Walt
