Trigger Pull Mastery - The Principles of The Perfect Handgun Trigger Control
Control of the trigger represents the third leg in the triangle of control. Your grip and stance manage recoil energy, the effects of gravity, momentum, and muzzle rise. Your vision is involved in steering the gun, sight alignment, and sight picture.
However, your skill at controlling the trigger will affect your capacity to be accurate once you are ready to fire. If you cannot precisely isolate the action of the trigger finger and fire the shot without disturbing the gun or the sight picture unduly while under pressure; your accuracy will suffer and your performance will deteriorate.
Being able to control the trigger press is at the very heart of reactive shooting performance. It is one of the first skills to break down under pressure. That is because it is a fine motor skill that you are trying to do as fast as you can while under pressure. This produces competing drives in the brain.
No matter how you try to simplify the trigger press, the fact that you are trying to only move one finger instead of all of them creates a dilemma for you to solve. The faster you go or the more effort you use; the greater the tendency to involve the whole hand or body instead of just the trigger finger. This is where you start to punch the gun forward as you press, squeeze the whole hand, shove forward with the body, etc.
Simply put, trigger control is mental control. We control the inputs of finger placement, direction of pressure, speed, effort, and isolation with our mind. Trigger manipulation is the physical control of how we move the trigger finger.
