Gun Digest Book of Beretta Pistols: Function, Accuracy, Performance

by Massad Ayoob

we see the dangers on the two ends of the trigger pull theory spectrum. Let the finger come all the way off the trigger, and you get miss-producing trigger slap. Try to ride the link, and you set the stage for a human error-induced failure to fire. This is why I suggest a middle ground, and the middle ground is this: Maintain a trigger weld, but let the trigger come all the way forward until it stops. By not taking the finger off the trigger, you have kept impact out of the equation on the next trigger pull and helped minimize the danger of an errant shot. However, by letting the trigger come all the way forward until it stops – something that even a vasoconstricted finger can feel and pass on to the brain – you have guaranteed resetting the trigger and having a next shot to fire immediately. This will work with all Beretta triggers.
