Why do people pull the trigger of a handgun while squeezing a rifle's. I somewhat understand the squeeze of a rifle, but why can't they squeeze a handgun's trigger?
I would appreciate a wide and detailed answer on this.

You should squeeze both. Triggers on weapons are squeezed to help with accuracy, "pulling" triggers has a habit of jerking the gun and throwing off your aim

John B's answer is 100% correct. Proper sight alignment,
target acquisition, and trigger control, are essential in
obtaining greater accuracy when firing either of these fire arms. Placing your firing finger (index finger) tip on the trigger and slowly squeezing off a round will produce more accurate results than "pulling," or jerky movements.

You squeeze the triggers of both. A single projectile needs to have accuracy. Unlike a shotgun where you can yank the trigger and still hit your target.

i don't be attentive to approximately set off pull weight for handguns, yet for rifles it would be actual no lighter than 3 pounds, or you need to accidentally discharge the gun via dropping it. human beings whinge too lots i think of roughly set off pull weight while in all honesty that is approximately technique. production facility rifles are made to have a particular weight of pull as a manner to no longer compromise the protection of utilising the rifle, and so with that, I communicate how I pull the set off as against irritating approximately how mild i will make it. utilising the pad of your finger on the nail section and slowly pulling the bow of the set off promptly decrease back to the gun could supply any shooter a honest quantity of accuracy while coupled with appropriate sight photograph and respiratory.

You can and should squeeze both, pulling is a more jerky motion, and usually hurts your accuracy. Both triggers work exactly the same way.

The correct terminology is squeezing the trigger for all firearms.

No, long answer for me. I squeeze both. People say different things to specify between certain things. Like you sleep at night & nap during the day - you really sleep both times

You should sqeeze when shooting at targets, but the handgun is traditionally used for last-ditch, close-in defense, at knife and fist range, with the adrenaline pumping, and accuracy in that circumstance is not a consideration.

I don't know much about the guns themselves; as to the wording/semantics, I think it's just a question of the words we generally use in relationship to the two types of guns, and strictly a matter of common useage.

Dont ask me. I just grab hold, close my eyes and fire at random.
