[T]he principal that governs handgun accuracy is trigger control… The problem is that we try to concentrate on three things at once – excluding judgment and discretion. Those things include the visual (sights and their relationship to the mark) and the tactile (trigger control). Aside from a little discussion, we drop the ball on the foundation of both: the grip.
