would be more useful, instead of learning a whole new muscle memory movement. Especially, when you need that "in the dark at contact distance" shot, you are trying to figure out which finger goes on the trigger. Ain't got time for that! A pistol that points naturally for you, and practice shooting it in low light would be a much better regimen.
