I like a firm grip (like using a hammer). It doesn't bring on the shakes as fast, doesn't get tiring too fast.

Too loose is not recommended.
Proper placement is critical.

But what works for me may not work for you.

Try this;

• Start at 5 meters (~15')
• Grip gun with isometric resistance right to left hand. Push with strong side and pull with weak side. [You are shooting two hand, right?] Start out easy and experiment by applying different (but equal fore and aft isometric) pressure's until it starts working. (read: hits on point of aim.)
• I know this is going to confuse you even more but....with your two hand purchase (squeeze) relax your strong side (trigger hand) 'squeeze' and tighten your weak side until you have a 10% delta. The gun should be held 60% with the weak side purchase and 40% strong side. This relaxes the trigger finger.

Now for the training. Each time you fill the sight with target, but just before you pull the loud switch, ask yourself;

• Do I have a clear focus on the front sight?
• Do i have good isometric balance? (push to pull)
• Does my weak side hand have control of the 'squeeze'?
• Is my trigger finger relaxed and properly on the trigger?
• Do I have a clear focus on the front sight?
• Start the pull and ALWAYS have the trigger break surprise you. (let it happen, don't "make" it happen) This is your "follow through".

Trigger pull MUST be;

1. Deliberate
2. Linear in pressure

This is training, NOT a race. Go slow, boringly slow. Speed will come but you must earn it!

When you become tired of all those bull's eyes, move the target out to 7 meters and start over. See above. ^

This really works for my students, let me know if it helps you.
