Interesting Tip for Trigger Pull

[smak28]

There are a lot of tips you can learn from taking classes and this is one of them. I've shot for 13 years without really improving my groupings until I took my 1st class 7 years ago, learned a ton of basic fundamentals and trigger discipline, practiced what I've learned, and my groupings have now become ragged holes. You'd be surprised how simple the fundamentals are to be able to shoot well.

Here's another tip...line up the top of front & rear sights and focus on the front sight until it's clear but your rear sights & target will be slightly blurry. Clear front sight focus is another key component.

I learned this in one of my classes last year. I was amazed how much my groupings improved afterwards.

My tip is do 20 push ups a day for 1 month if you do not go to a gym already .You’ll shoot better.

There are lots of tips that can improve your groupings. My tip is to shoot a CZ SP-01 and you will see lots of improvement. Ditch the Glock.

A CZ is on my list. Right now, my Glock will have to fill the bill.

when I shot my SP01/P01, my groups were good, but when I switched to Glock 17, my group was low and left, so I definitely had problem on my trigger finger.

I am going to the range on Wednesday, so...Research continues...

Thanks again,

Do the "White Wall Fundamentals" drill from Ben Stoeger's book for about 5-mins per day every day.

More aggressive training in your home,
add laser/light to your G17
turn laser on, and aim by laser
while dry fire aiming point of laser must not move.

You might create a training scar here. You are are aiming with the laser on the target. The fundamental is to aim using the front sight.

Take a look here for plenty of trigger pull correction charts:

As they say, each one of us is different - there is really no "right" or "wrong" way to pull the trigger, for several reasons.

Heck, I can shoot the pistol upside down using my pinkie... It is less of "what to do with your trigger finger" but more of the objective of pulling (or pressing, depending on your semantics) without moving the sights!



If people think I wouldn't know what I am talking about... I have only started into firearms a couple of years back - these are my groups, which I shot quite recently, with a Glock 34 Gen 3:

(*) For comparison, the target at 7- to 15-yards is a 2-inch circle; the target at 25-yards is 5-inches.

I...Glock 17...

Place a quarter on the top of the slide, and dry fire. If the quarter falls off, you're ......

... changing mags?
... putting the gun back in the case?
... trying to hit something with the quarter?
... trying to stand it on edge (Durn thing keeps rolling off!)?

It could be an interesting test, but would have to be super gun dependent. Glock slides are so wide and flat it seems that a more interesting test is what you have to do to get the quarter to fall off.

Nice to see that that old technique is still around.

I learned it in the 50s, but we used a dime...inflation you know

When you think you've got it down with a Glock, you can try it with a revolver. When you're really good, try standing the quarter on it's edge while pulling through the trigger

Wow! Mind blown!

while dry fire aiming point of laser must not move.

Hahaha! Impossibru!

[Eureka1911]

Was taught to do this (Endlessly) with a dime in Boot Camp Years ago...

Inflation. That's why the OP was advised to use a quarter.

...
My groupings were a bit left of the bull...
--P

If the groupings are to the left and not low and left it is most likely the grip is not tight enough with your support hand.

If you are going to refer to the Jurassic coin balance technique, especially on a revolver, news travels fast, geeze, then you might as well know how to do it properly as described below:

Make sure the piece is unloaded....

Double Action Pull and Follow Thru.
Using both hands, then strong hand, and yes, your support hand only.
Then.....it gets better...

Dryfire the coin trick in sitting, kneeling and of course prone.

And when you are finished doing all that have one of the kids use an obsolete analog, silver in color, stop watch and see how fast you are moving without the coin falling off.

Do the "White Wall Fundamentals" drill from Ben Stoeger's book for about 5-mins per day every day.

Stoeger has been published with several titles. Which book do you recommend I read first? I am not a beginning shooter but I have not fired a shot in competition. I do dry fire practice but not to any particular program. I believe it works. Thanks rod. Your targets speak for themselves.

Good morning!

Stoeger's book and/or dry fire is not particular to competition. They are fundamental to pistol craft (as Mike Hughes would use to say). Be it competition, tactical, self-defense, fun at the range, etc.

That said, here you go... Enjoy!!!
