Non-dominant index finger- where does the tip end up with your grip?

[chess]

Until recently my non-dominant index finger tip has been ending up in the space between the base of my dominant hand index and second fingers but not actually touching the frame.

When I clamp down on my grip,it is pressing the flesh of my second finger into the frame (but not actually touching).

However I am beginning to get chronic pain in the distal non-dominant index finger joint from the upward pressure of the dominant second finger.

Where does the tip of the non-dominant index finger end up for you all?

The way I shoot I'd rather not tell you where my finger winds up, except to say it makes it tough to sit down.

In looking at some of the grips of the top shooters, it seems most have the tip of the the non-dominant index finger sitting on the second finger. But with strong grip i get sliding to the side when I do that.

Mine still goes on the front of the trigger guard. I'm trying to change that, but it's a hard habit to break.

try putting it on the trigger guard. opinion is divided about whether or not it's a good thing. my personal experience is it doesn't work for me on my of my pistols but on my tanfog open gun it seemed natural to have that finger around the trigger guard.

I don't know how I picked up on it but my non-dominant finger keeps finding its way in front of the trigger guard. It happens more when I try pushing too hard on speed.

When I shoot my blocks I end up with my finger in front of the trigger guard. With my 19/2011's I end up with it in the same spot as you. Not sure if there is any other place to really grip with that finger.

Yeah, front of trigger guard. I like that finger on the gun, not holding hands. Plus I think people should shoot how the hell they want.
