No idea, I suck at being an instructor... I just shoot "rlol"

It feels awkward, but I do use the pad of my finger on the trigger. My hands are big, so the rest of my finger actually hits the frame before the break if I use the first joint. Also, if I already know my target and I'm ready to fire, I go ahead and take up about 2/3rds of the trigger as I come on target. That makes the rest of the trigger pull feel like a heavy single-action, or a heavy Glock trigger after reset. Saves me from the feeling of having a mile-long DAO pull... that was my biggest complaint about my Beretta 96D, the trigger pull was just too long for me. I'm much more accurate with the LCP, which is kinda sad "rlol"
I'll give that technique a whirl, I like the trigger-pull idea. Thanks...

I'm just not sure if my wife will hold that paper plate for me again out in the backyard. :mrgreen:

If you are in Weatherford, I'm only 1.5 hours away from you. Come down sometime and we can work on that at the range.
I'll definately take you up on that one day. My wife is from Rising Star and we occasionally visit, as she still has family residing there. (Going to RS Homecoming is one of the things I look forward to all year.)

I believe you and your wife do instruction and have thought about contacting you when things warm up a little, as to have her accompany me, as well. Not trying to take advantage of your kindness, however...:txflag:

Get a snap cap and in the evenings point at a dot on the wall and practice shooting it w/o it coming off the dot...paying attention to how much finger you use on the trigger. Also, you can get a laser for it by Crimson Trace that will help to train you for shooting it.
Will do...thanks for the tips. :tiphat:

Honestly, sometimes I think I shoot smaller guns better than the larger ones. Less barrel flopping around, less weight, easier to hold straight on target... it all comes down to trigger control with them.
Out of curiosity, how do you best control the trigger on your LCP? I recently acquired one, and while improving, I am still pretty inconsistent beyond "close-in".
