bikerburgess Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 It all depends on the person and the gun involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty whiteboy Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I think/believe it's more the stroke of the trigger than where the finger is placed. Also, may affect striker fired guns less than a single action, but just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr1042 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Works better for me on striker fired than a DA/SA gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamge Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Somewhere in here the guy talks about his trigger finger position, and he curls it into the first joint. And he's supposedly one of the most accurate pistol shooters in history. But he does mention it is because of the double action trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertfrade Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 "Great big what beaters?" I don't get it. What does that mean? I went to 30 sec and nothing. At 30 min I did notivmce the guy speaking has bannana hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainOverkill Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) I tend to agree with Mr. Enos on this - your finger is going to hit the trigger wherever it hits the trigger. Just be consistent and train yourself to apply flat, even pressure when the trigger breaks. Edited January 5, 2016 by CaptainOverkill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArrDave Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 On Glocks, absolutely (for me anyway). My double action and single action guns, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has something to do with Rosie Palm (if you get the drift) His term is military slang, common with in the combat arms community.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangerdug Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I just saw this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8JX2hZR_6g Your thoughts? It goes to shooter solution... What works for him, doesn't necessarily mean it will for you or me; However, McNamara has earned enough of my respect to listen to what he has to say and possibly try give it a try, under the right conditions.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpacker Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Great big what beaters at 30s? Is this video for real? LOL, he's very descriptive. FWIW, Ben Stoeger says he does the same thing. He puts his finger closer to the joint, instead of using the pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebwake Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It also depends on your hand size and finger length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwinter501 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I've used this with great success training police recruits. If someone is grouping on the target directly opposite of their dominant hand, having them add a little more finger on the trigger almost always cures it. If there isn't enough finger on the trigger they tend to induce lateral force on the pistol while pulling the the trigger rearward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckley Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Brian Zins is a pretty strong bullseye shooter and he goes against conventional wisdom (middle of first pad). http://www.brianzins.com/2010/03/12/technique/ I'd say that you need a correct strong hand grip and a trigger finger placement which is not awkward. You also may need more finger if your trigger pull weight is heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Mitch Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 It doesn't matter as long as your overall technique is good and your grip is strong. A good grip is the well-spring of good shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcreid06 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Stoeger teaches that more finger in the trigger can gives more leverage. We teach our recruits at our academy, we carry Glocks, that have issues with trigger control to put in more finger. I am almost to the first knuckle on my glock.
