Hey folks, new revolver owner here. I have a 3" 686+ Talo with stock Rosewood grips. I presently carry OWB at 3:00 position. I write left-handed but do most other things right-handed and right eye dominant. I can't help but notice when I draw, my thumb goes immediately to the hammer and my index finger goes right to the trigger in a single action ready stance ( As if the gun was designed this way!)

Is this a bad thing? I know for safety purposes I should avoid the trigger until ready to fire but should I try and correct my technique? Thoughts and comments appreciated, thanks!

You don't want your finger inside that trigger guard until you've decided to shoot.

You should absolutely correct your draw technique. Your grip should facilitate a double action fire, with your finger outside the trigger gard.

Dry fire practice this until it's automatic, keeping your finger off the triger until you are on target and decide to shoot.

Also, protect the trigger with your finger when holstering your weapon...

Please explain thanks!

Remember the basic rules of firearm safety. Work on double action only. By placing your finger on the trigger especially in single action, you could do something you wish you didn't. Single action is unnecessary IMO unless you are killing paper. What will2 means is be aware of the possibility of your holster or something else catching on the trigger when holstering or unholstering.

All good advice and pointers, thank you gentleman! I passed my CCH certification today so on the right track, 686 performed great, although we only shot at 3-5-7 yds.
