I have no official training but have ready many books about shooting, some competition and some self-defense based.
Most authors have differing opinions about when is the right time to "touch" the trigger and different perspectives about prepping the trigger as well.
The way I see it the threat is relatively close to you draw, present, and are already pointed at the threat.
If you are shooting a stock double action handgun, revolver or pistol I see no harm in prepping the trigger assuming you have made the decision to shoot and have a clear backstop and path to the target. If you draw "properly" you are not sweeping upwards, the gun is already pointed correctly, you're just extending your arms up and out...so you'll shoot lower than you intend to IF you over-prep. I have yet to find a DAO gun that had a friendly trigger that you couldn't learn when it would break.
I would do that with any 1911 I have ever shot or my XD. Revolver or Sigma...sure...if I still had it that is.
