    Thanks to both of you. I will try each method this weekend.

    Just be aware that when you use the trigger finger to activate the paddle, the movement of the finger takes it past and not far from the trigger. For some that works great but for others (like me) not so much. When I tried that method (I settled for using my thumb) with my L sized hand, I would often brush the trigger on the way to the paddle. Maybe I was doing it wrong, but if I used my middle finger (which I do when shooting with my "weak hand"), it came from under the paddle and came nowhere near the trigger.

    I hope you find the method that works best for you.

    I first saw the Beretta 92 in the early 80s while being escorted to a beach in Naples Italy for pistols qualifications with 1911s while serving in the US Navy. The Carabinieri officer had to escort us to the range from the Naval Base. He offered our Weapons Officer his service weapon to shoot and for some reason he declined. Probably because he could not reciprocate the same with our weapons for regulations. I was ready and willing to give it a go myself but not really able to develop the opportunity. Since that time I was always intrigued with the 92 and I am a fan of 1911s. My interest in proficiency with pistols was cultivated with security duties in the Navy.

    I just picked up Berettas the past 10 years but seem to run Glocks for carry and competition these days. I recently upgraded a 92A1 with LTT TJIB and am looking to run it a bit now.
