Never to old to learn

   I was breaking in my new 1911 and a fellow shooter noticed I was pulling to the left. He suggested a slight change in my finger placement on the trigger and gazooks it worked. I latter tried that with my 22 revolver and my group sizes shrunk considerably.  In my feeble defense I was trained on the 1911 in the military and I did qualify with it.  I any case I am going to be much more careful about finger placement.

	Please share the finger placement! I need all the help I can get when it comes to handgun accuracy.
