its called clinching

took me 4 months to get my daughter to not do it

a few reasons it happens to folks

sometimes its a reaction to movement and folks grab hard

something like pre empting recoil , folks will death grip the gun and miss what they aim at last second

you just gotta be aware and train yourself out of bad habits

trigger finger ( all fingers) outside the guard when working or cleaning weapons being the top one

working on crap guns over the years i've had a few since my army expeience but they've all been pointed where they should in case ..

you get that on old guns
