    The material on that site is interesting. I'd just (wrongly) assumed that the way the manufacturer made the trigger was simply final - the way it arrived was the way it stayed.

    Consider me educated.

    There are lots of aftermarket mods for lots of weapons. Google binary trigger if you want a real surprise.

    Trigger systems are possibly the most modified parts of any firearm...Personally I'm into grips right now......Ben

    My trap guns have release triggers. I always wanted one in a small bench gun like a 222. I don’t know of anyone who makes one.

    Check Sako, I think they still offer them.

    At this stage of my eyesight, I only hope for hunting accuracy, which for now I can get with a pull trigger. Not being able to see like I used to has taken some of the fun out of shooting. I think I need to put some money into more powerful glass. Or get my eyes fixed.

    My wife needed her eyes fixed for drainage issues. And, her doc told her, that while he was fixing that, he could also replace her lenses and fix her vision issues (she was wearing corrective contacts at the time). So, the doc did the surgery and my wife no longer needs glasses or contacts to correct her vision. It was so cool.

    Frankly, if I ever need eye surgery, I'm getting the lenses done too.

    I had the opportunity for that when they scraped the cataracts off my eyeballs a couple of years ago, but the money wasn't there for it......Ben

    At my last shooting outing last week I was shooting down and left which is typical of improper trigger squeeze. I was able to work on it a bit for some slight Improvement.

    Sounds like what I call pushing the trigger, just don't put so much finger on it...Sort of like your first girlfriend......Ben

    OK, Ben, I need some advice for my Sig P220 Elite.

    It shoots great. I can be accurate but I don't like how the trigger fits my finger. If I try to use just the pad of my index, it feels weird but I'm really accurate. If I grip the gun naturally, the trigger aligns with the crease at the bottom of the pad, which gets pinched behind the trigger when firing. So to shoot correctly, with just the pad, I'm curling my finger outside the frame. It is almost as if my index finger is too long or something. What do you think might help?

    I don't have this issue on my Redhawk .44Mag. Maybe I'm just a revolver sort of a guy?

    Try grips with a longer backstrap, or maybe a trigger with a different shape that extends further toward the muzzle end......Ben

    When you shoot an auto loader, you’re supposed to hold it sideways. Try that.

    That's for the really advanced shooter, Curt, I'm not sure of Kevin's level of expertise...I'd advise a sight change before trying it, but it would require a slightly looser belt for carry purposes to avoid injury to anything below the waistline......Ben
