Driving muzzle up during trigger pull on DA revolvers?
I've been working on getting comfortable shooting DA revolvers of various sizes, sort of a project for this year. I've begun to notice during dry fire that I am driving my muzzle up a bit during the trigger pull. Watching myself in a mirror, I *think* what is happening is that there's some space between the upper part of my hand and the gun, or at least some non-compressed flesh in the web of my hand, but the lower part of the grip is more securely braced against my palm. So when I press the heavy DA trigger, it pushes the top part of the grip further back into the web of my hand, driving the muzzle up.
I've been training with an LCR wearing hamre forge grips and a 3" GP100 wearing the altamont-style compact grips. It feels like the effect is more noticeable on the GP100- I think either because the trigger pull is heavier, or because of the greater distance from the fulcrum to the muzzle. I'm not sure yet if that's visual exaggeration or if the effect is really more pronounced in practical terms.
I've been using the low thumb, support hand thumb wrapped over the strong hand thumb grip that I'm fairly certain is traditional with these guns. The effect seems slightly less pronounced when I really choke up high on the grip, but that's higher than I can really get consistently on the draw so far, and it's still present.
Any suggestions for addressing this? Grip options for the GP100 seem kind of limited in terms of increasing trigger reach without going huge, and for concealment purposes I'm not sure I want to go any bigger on my LCR. My GP100 came with a set of hogue tamer grips, which I found pretty much unusable. I have long, thin fingers and the finger grooves made the grip feel both too large and too small at the same time, making it very hard to choke up on the gun. So I'm thinking this will need to be addressed with a change in technique.
