I've been doing it wrong?

I've used my index finger on the front of the trigger guard for over thirty years, as I recall. Some of my handguns have triggerguards modified and some don't. I shoot that way with revolvers and pistols both. I shoot double action revolver and single action pistol.

It does control recoil. When I've been working, I can shoot multiple controlled shots really fast.

I have not tiny, but smallish hands.

Go figure.
