Trigger shoe rotation and effect on point of impact

[EdStevens]

My MG-2 allows me to rotate the trigger shoe around the post, changing the angle of the shoe relative to the finger. My question is this: if I angle the front (flat) of the shoe to point to the left, for instance, should the bullet point of impact tend to be to the left or to the right on the target?

I think that with the shoe facing to the left (looking down on the gun) I would be applying the pressure back and to the right, and when the sear releases it would tend to flick the muzzle/shot to the right? Or are there more factors at play?

I just probably just put it in the middle and not play with these things, but who can resist?

It doesn't matter what angle you have on the trigger shoe provided that you only apply pressure parallel to the barrel.

That could be more or less difficult depending on your hands.

I have always found that a trigger face perpendicular to the barrel worked easier for me.

I find that the trigger shoe angle has a much lesser effect on shot impact than trigger position fore/aft.
I set the trigger shoe angle so that it feels like even pressure on my finger with neither edge digging into the finger. For me this is about a 10-12 deg angle faced towards the finger.
Its the trigger shoe fore/aft that dictates if the trigger finger shots pulls left or right. This also depends on the fit of your grip thickness and rake angles.
