In defence of the trigger reset (yes: it's important) - Chappy

In defence of the trigger reset (yes: it's important) - Chappy






In my 20 years of travels around the world learning, teaching and engaging in the martial art of gunfighting, I see and hear many theories about shooting.  Some of these are valid and have been proven over and over in lethal encounters.  A great many teaching points and drills I see, however, are mere shadows of the real purpose of whatever skill was originally intended to be taught, or are based on the purely academic knowledge base of an instructor.

One of the methodologies I see most commonly misunderstood and incorrectly taught is the trigger reset portion of the four stages of trigger control.  Trigger Reset is a term used to describe letting the trigger forward only far enough to reset the sear after the previous shot is fired.

HOW TO DRAW FROM A SAFARILAND SLS HOLSTER BY TIM LAU | POSTED ON 04/09/2015 | IN TRAINING

HOW TO DRAW FROM A SAFARILAND SLS HOLSTER  BY TIM LAU   |   POSTED ON 04/09/2015  |   IN TRAINING

Full Article: http://modernserviceweapons.com/?p=14945#more-14945



With the prevalence of the Safariland 6004/6280 duty holster in modern law enforcement applications, it still shocks me that there are so many LE folks that still draw from an SLS equipped holster in the most inefficient manner. The Self Locking System (SLS) is the commonly seen rotating hood system that largely eliminated traditional snap holsters in modern holster systems. Technically classified as a Level II retention system (meaning it requires two actions to defeat the retention device), the SLS has pretty good security and can be disengaged with a single motion. Unfortunately, I still commonly see officers whåo draw from an SLS using two or more motions to disengage the hood before ever lifting the gun out of the holster.

10 Lessons Learned from the Worst Gun I Ever Owned By Melody Lauer @ luckygunner

10 Lessons Learned from the Worst Gun I Ever Owned By Melody Lauer @ luckygunner




The day I turned 21 was one of the most memorable days of my life. Not only for the legal drinks at the local Applebee’s, but for the hour-long trek to a not-so-local gun store to make the most exciting, and ultimately worst, purchase of my life—a Kimber Stainless Ultra Carry chambered in .40S&W.

I took a lot of pride in choosing my first handgun. I believed I’d done my research.

Being new to firearms, I made a list of requirements and handed them to my husband. He came up with several guns that would meet these requirements and off we went, stumbling through a, sadly, anticlimactic purchase.

Concealed Carry Tips: Three Essential Shooting Drills By Chris Baker @ Lucky Gunner

Concealed Carry Tips: Three Essential Shooting Drills By Chris Baker @ Lucky Gunner






I’ve met a lot of gun owners who have some grasp of the fundamentals of shooting, and they’re what I would call “comfortable” handling a gun, but when it comes to getting their gun out of a holster and putting hits on target in a hurry, I would hesitate to label them “competent”. Oftentimes, these shooters are blissfully unaware of their own lack of preparation (thanks to the Dunning-Kruger effect). In other cases, less capable shooters might know they need improvement, but don’t know how to get better except to “practice more,” whatever that means.

So how, exactly, can we measure competence with a handgun? And once we have a baseline for our skill level, how do we improve it? Yes, practice is the best way to both assess and improve competency, but to get the most out of our practice sessions, we can’t just “go shooting”. We need a plan, and that plan should probably involve some structured drills and tests.

Keep it Simple

There are a lot of drills and shooting tests available online, and almost all of the ones I’ve seen probably have at least some value for somebody. The key is to identify the drills that are relevant to your end goals and your current skill level. Earlier in my progression as a shooter, I would see impressive feats of blindingly fast marksmanship at a local match or on videos online, and then I’d burn a lot of time and ammo trying to duplicate the performance of shooters who had far more skill and experience than I had.
