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.
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
