Narrative:
On the controls; first officer; and captain monitoring. The approach was normal and stable. When approaching 300 feet the pilot monitoring called continue. The captain had visual of the airport; autopilot came off while the pilot flying then visually acquired the runway. When the autopilot came off there was a slight drift to the left; preventing me from seeing the runway straight ahead; as it was just off my right shoulder. Scanned the instruments and looked back outside and the runway was visually acquired. I made the appropriate correction to align with runway. We were slightly high therefore I nosed the aircraft down to correct the situation and the sink rate aural caution came on. We were just about to touchdown when we heard the stick shaker at roughly 5 feet and we were on the ground a moment after. The landing was firm; however no bounce and the aircraft continued normally with the remaining landing phase of flight and taxi. The captain decided to report it to maintenance as a precaution and I performed a thorough post flight inspection of the aircraft with no visual signs of damage. Request more training to work with approach to minimums in the airline environment where the pilot flying continues to the ground or makes go around decision if runway not in sight to PF (pilot flying) at minimums.
