Not doubting your advice, but asking an honest question: Doesn't working on your hand position and finger placement count as part of working on your trigger pull?
That's a fair question that I'm going to answer with a question. Do you want to be good with only one specific pistol while using two hands, or do you want to be able to shoot any pistol you pick up (relatively) equally well?
If you want to just be really good with one pistol, by all means figure out the exact formula of grip and finger placement and stance and whatever you need to accomplish that.
I'm of the opinion that repeatability is key. If you have to do special tweaks to get things just right, what are the chances you'll do that when under pressure? Do you ever do draw drills? What do you do when you fumble the draw a bit? You don't get a perfect grip or whatever. Do you continue to the shot or do you abort and re-holster? Personally, I follow through. There may be differing thoughts on this. Some may think I'm messing with muscle memory and doing myself a disservice and should do 5 extra dry runs to make sure I get it right. I think that I may not get a perfect draw stroke under pressure and want to be able to stay in the fight.
My point is, if you can work on isolating your finger movement instead of compensating for poor trigger press, you will become a much better shooter overall.
