you're not putting your finger on the trigger until your sights are lined up. With a DA/SA pistol, I place my finger on the trigger at position 3 (muzzle downrange, pistol in close near the bottom of my peripheral vision). As I extend the pistol outward, I am simultaneously pressing the trigger to the rear as the sights line up. By the time sight alignment and sight picture are complete, there's just a few pounds of pressure left to go.
I do what you describe when doing drills from the holster but admit that when just standing on the line practicing marksmanship, I do not.

Pat had us perform and practice the same technique you describe when coming from the low ready or holster and, I think but have not done direct comparisons, that my first shot is more accurate.

I purposely avoided such movement when filming this video to isolate just the shot. Next time, I can incorporate the draw if it would help to evaluate.
