AND I THOUGHT I INVENTED IT

And I Thought I Invented It

I recently started handgun shooting more for sport than self defense. I took a course last year, bought a Browning .22 and then a Taurus 92.

I've been trying to find the right grip for my hand and after some experimenting I found that using my middle finger had some obvious advantages:

(1) I could simply point with my index finger at the target,

(2) my thumb balanced my index finger shooting one-handed,

(3) my lower fingers push the grip straight back.

(4) my hand is higher on the grip.

I thought 'hey, I invented something incredibly useful'.

Then I do a Google search for middle finger trigger and what do you know, it's not new at all.

I like your index finger guide device. I think it could be slimmer. It would also look better if it was molded rather than a fixed angle. It could overlap the slide, which might be more comfortable on some guns. Ideally it would be built into a replacement grip.
