I don't have anything to back it up, but I've developed the suspicion that slow (exaggeratedly slow) trigger pulls are not a useful thing to do. When coaching, I've found that shooters can produce better groupings with side arms when the trigger is not over cautiously crept back. While actuating the trigger too fast is well known to be bad- jerking- not everyone appreciates that they can be functioned too slow as well. I think that just about every double action side arm has a "sweet speed" area.
