I'm not jumping in your shit or anything. I'm just throwing out what I do and why.

So... if you lose your fine motor skills under stress, how do you carefully squeeze a ~5 lbs. pistol trigger?

There's no real manipulation involved. You have to move your finger an inch in one direction. It's just a straight-up muscle contraction on a stationary object. It's not going to be as smooth as if you were plugging paper at the range and shooting for minute-of-angle, but assuming that your hold on the weapon and your sight picture were correct, a less than perfect trigger pull is still going to put rounds on target at minute-of-dude.
With a no-look mag change, you have to insert a moving object in to a small hole on another moving object. Any adjustments that need to be made are small adjustments, requiring a shit load of fine motor skills. Also, there is only one form of sensory input as the reload/adjustments are being done feel.
