zoid 24 Posted July 6, 2014 I recently got a S&W 627 (my first wheelie!). Shooting my first 50 rounds of 357 mag I noticed my finger would shift a little under recoil. I like using the pad of the tip of my finger, but seems to want to go to the first joint. Are there any stock or aftermarket triggers that shorten the reach? I don't think there is much to do with the grip as it seems it is as far forward to the back strap as it can be. Thanks for any advice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djg0770 481 Posted July 6, 2014 In double action, most people need the leverage afforded by the first knuckle joint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alec.mc 180 Posted July 7, 2014 Try gripping the revolver a bit higher, the Web of your hand between your thumb and pointer should ride above the backstrap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted July 7, 2014 If as you describe, you desire to use the pad of your fingertip rather than the first joint, then you want to lengthen the distance to the trigger, not shorten it. That can be accomplished by using grips that cover the backstrap. Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though the stock ones are pretty good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parker 213 Posted July 8, 2014 For adding length so just the pad makes contact, I often used a Tyler Trigger Shoe provided I liked the position of the existing grip. I had a steel trigger shoe from Tyler on my S&W M52 and it was perfect for me. I use them a lot on some centerfire rifles also. http://www.t-grips.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
