They call these the "center of mass" hold and the "six o'clock" hold - and either one can work fine.

You might want to try something - sounds silly, but do not look at the target. Focus on the front sight; let the bullseye blur if it wants to. Admire how crisp and sharp the top and edges of your front sight are, how well centered in the rear notch the crisp, clear front blade is, and how even with the top of the notch the perfectly focussed front sight is - and actuate the trigger without disturbing the sight.

I'm not qualified to give advice since I'm not that great a shot - but this works. You will read it from all sorts of people who actually do know what they are talking about, not just from me. It is for target shooting, not for "combat" or for fighting - although some will say the fundamentals are the same for both. I don't know anything about fighting, but for target shooting, focus on the front sight; alignment, firm grip, and the only pressure is on the pad - or whichever part of your trigger finger you use on the trigger.

Have fun!

Regards,
Andrew
