Practice makes better. In the world of firearms it makes you better and safer. A study of all firearms discharges in Federal Agencies (FBI, DEA, ATF) from 2000-2003 found that out of 267 total discharges, 102 of them were accidental discharges! One often overlooked practice is correct placement of the trigger finger when it’s not on the trigger. Incorrect trigger finger placement can resulting accidental misfires under stressful situations. Think about what your hands do under stressful situations, you clench them. If your trigger finger is resting on the trigger guard where does that finger go if you clench your hand?
An article on Active Response Training does a great job explaining the reasoning behind correct index finger placement. Read the article here- Trigger Finger Positioning, Hand Clenches, and Accidental Discharges

I love talon. How do I get the Finger positioning grip for my FNH FNS 9mm?
Hi Aaron,
The material patches are available here- https://blog.talongungrips.com/other-grips/material/tfirp.html
If you have uses for material elsewhere cutting a index point off a 1″x4″ strip or 5″x7″ sheet works well.
Best regards,

I love the idea and in fact I have been buying extra Talin Grip matierial ever since I starting using Talon Grips for this very purpose. I use the granulate version and always cut a small piece the fits on my firearms right where my finger rests. I also find it helpful when controlling recoil. I’m not saying I came up with the idea…I’m sure I didn’t but long ago I started doing this because of the many benifits including teaching me proper finger position that has now become muscle memory (and the added bonus of recoil control (I put a piece on the side my thumbs go on and the thumb that rears against the frame I use to control recoil due to the extra grip from the granulate material). Talon Grips Rock!!!
