To push or pull?

[Bill Carson]

Neither. You're supposed to squeeze it.

Add load until it trips.

my guns are dangerous.....they go off without using the trigger. Kind of like this:

I'd rather use trigger control.

A few times I have used my Command Voice and the words "Make it so!" but that hasn't worked...... yet.

[BKinzey]

Merc you just don't understand and that's ok. A push is more of a rearward poke, so your finger is more curled back towards you.

Yeah, a prod or a nudge doesn't work either. Whatever you do, DON'T GIVE IT A HEAVE-HO!

[CS25]

I flick it, ever so gently ...of course.

When we teach our Basic Handgun class, we prefer "press."

The point is that the trigger needs to be pressed straight back smoothly and with only the trigger finger moving until the shot breaks by surprise. In our experience, "press" seems to convey that concept best.

The issue we've found with "squeeze" is that some people will squeeze the grip with their hand while "squeezing" the trigger. That just seems to be how beginners translate that word into an action.

And "pull" often becomes a jerk.

I've heard some people say you should push your trigger back towards you and some say pull,which do you do?

A "push" is away from you, and a "pull" is towards you. So how do you "push" a trigger towards you?

[bden]

I generally prefer to grasp the trigger pinching it between my thumb and forefinger and simply "pull" it rearward towards the grip. It's a unique grip, but it works for me.

[IntoForever]

I use the force!

[Hopalong]

Neither. Press.

Just my opinion.

This gets my vote.
