My finger is in the same place for DA and SA, so that isn't a factor. I had a pretty good session yesterday, focusing on the SA with 25 yard Bill drills, and similar demanding shots, so perhaps it is just the normal learning curve combined with "the SA must be so easy to shoot it doesn't require any special technique mentality I approached the SA with."
I also find it interesting that my Sig 226 has a very glass rod 1911-ish SA, and the Beretta has some roll to start, which feels more familiar to me.
I could probably have asked my question as, how do 1911 shooters learn to shoot the trigger to its potential without taking all day, or crushing the trigger going too fast? TLG, and other 1911 shooters, beyond taking up the slack, do you take up none/any/much of the weight of the trigger as you are transitioning to the next target?
