Dadgum it, when I shoot my DAO J-frame Smiths, the barrel twitches to the right when the trigger breaks. I am a right-handed shooter and have small-ish hands; twitch happens one-handed or two-handed. It does not happen with my K-frames, Colt Diamondback or Ruger LCRx when I shoot them in double-action; they do not twitch. My groups are tolerable - it's not a huge twitch, but it is noticeable and consistent.
I've tried rotating my hand farther around the grip on the J-frames, and rotating is less far; I've tried different positions of my finger pad on the trigger. Tried gripping it tighter or looser, but I can't seem to eliminate the J-frame twitch. Does this happen to any of you, and have you found a way to cure it? I like my J-frames and don't want to part with them, but I want to shoot them better. It seems to be something to do with the revolver's geometry and mine.
