I was told, and taught by most in this forum to keep trigger straight, not turning right or left.
My IZH 46M has a factory set trigger tilting to the right. I feel pretty comfortable with this side tilt.
I noticed that my trigger finger tip has a slight downward slant. This downward tilt of trigger finger tip fits in more precisely against the LP10 trigger curve when I tilted the trigger slightly toward the right, just like the IZH 46m factory trigger.
Would this slight right tilt of trigger shoe hurt me in the long run? Meaning I would ingrained into shooting this way, and have problem shooting other pistol with trigger set up the traditional, straight way?

I like the slight right tilt of the IZH 46m myself.
As long as you pull trigger without disturbing alignment, I don't think it makes any difference whether trigger shoe is turned right, left, or upside down.
But once you get used to this non-straight trigger though, you might have harder time shooting other straight trigger.

I think it is important that you use the part of the finger where it bends, and has the least muscle, it forms a ridge while bending, the IZH trigger is hard to reach in this manner even when moving the trigger way back.
I too have thought of ways to improve it and think that a good candidate is something like this http://www.edinkillie.co.uk/ecatalog/an ... Path=11_72
Another thread about triggers http://www.targettalk.org/viewtopic.php?t=18618 that conveys positioning in relation to finger above trigger itself "just repositioned my trigger finger so that the trigger shoe now lays between the middle of the fingertip and the joint. He argued that since this area of the fingertip is harder, it is easier to give the trigger that final "kick" to release the shot once you've reached your "steady state". He also argued that placing the trigger finger this way gives the least amount of disturbance during release. Nothing much special, but made a lot of difference... "
