finger position

Both Mas Ayoob and John Farnam suggested experimenting with using the crease of the distal joint (aka "the power crease") to work the trigger when my PD converted to DAK Sigs.

I have big hands and long fingers, and put a short trigger on the gun. I found I had to be careful with working the trigger exactly like a revolver, because sometimes (and not others) I had finger drag on the frame doing it that way, which would push my shots to the left. And then sometimes I'd hook them to the right. I suspect that was happening because I wasn't mashing the trigger straight to the rear. And then other times it worked great . . .

I get the most consistant results with keeping the first pad of my trigger finger in contact with the face of the trigger, but I suspect I can get away with this because I have long fingers.

Good points on trigger finger reach and placement. I'll have to experiment a bit.
