i gave it 'more finger' - using my joint instead of the pad, and it made a difference.
now, shooting my G17 with the RMR, i'm more aware of what i'm doing as i'm tracking the dot, right on the target. i've been shooting a glock for years, but i'm just recently learning how to shoot it better. i was shooting it like my 1911, which has a lighter trigger, less takeup and overtravel, and was more forgiving in that regard.
