I was breaking in my new 1911 and a fellow shooter noticed I was pulling to the left. He suggested a slight change in my finger placement on the trigger and gazooks it worked. I latter tried that with my 22 revolver and my group sizes shrunk considerably. In my feeble defense I was trained on the 1911 in the military and I did qualify with it. I any case I am going to be much more careful about finger placement.

Tip of the index finger rather than the middle of the digit?

Please share the finger placement! I need all the help I can get when it comes to handgun accuracy.

I learn to shoot the M1911A1 from my Nana . she keep one in her undies drawer.

She set up a target in a tree behind the barn so my brother and I could get some target time.
