Another argument I don't like is citing some Army training manual from a long time ago. I was in the Army and I can tell you they teach a lot of bad shooting habits as is right now. They taught even more back in the day.

I'm still confused. If you are properly indexing should you be able to point with your index finger than then squeeze the trigger?

Improper grip all the way. If your properly indexing you should be "pointing" already????? Then when you get on target you simply move your little digit back and squeeze the trigger. If you are not running around with your finger on the trigger then I guess it would work. Plus as mentioned earlier you loosen your grip big time by using this method. I can point shoot without having to actually point and so can you. I know the old saying. Pick a small object in a room, quickly point at it, and you can draw a straight line to it with your finger. Sound simple. But form a proper two handed grip and do the same thing. You'll still be able to point right at it.

Oh and by the way shooting with your middle finger can also cause a 7 o'clock push (down and to the left).
