I read in old magazine article written buy a respectable leo and expert that the double tap(well I'd consider the hammer too) is more likely to cause collareral damage in let's say an busy public street. The writer advocated the controlled pair keeping in mind the "fast is slow" mantra.

[@umutylmaz7031]

It couldnt be better in 4 minutes . Thank you man

[@russdennis7026]

This was great! New sub here. God I love the look on the newbies when I'm practicing hammer drills and bill drills at the indoor range. I feel you got to get out of your comfort zone with shooting, and I'm not taking anything away from people that shoot one shot at a time. But under stress you better be able to control your emotions. These drills will help with that. Just remember you're responsible for every bullet you shoot. Aim small, miss small.

[@GBGuns]

Thank you and welcome to the channel. This is an old video, but I'm glad you found it helpful.

[@jameshamon9878]

Excellent video. Firing the second shot right off of the reset is the entire key to this. Amazing how so many people talk about the flash sight picture Etc but failed to mention this very important aspect of holding the trigger back after the first shot and only releasing enough to reset for the second. Works very well

[@G.Amorth]

Thank you. Easy to understand!

[@machinegreen1413]

Great. Getting my MC28 back from the gunsmith next week. Had the trigger worked on. Good training tip.

[@NBWDOUGHBOY]

Definitely one of the better tutorials explaining this. Thanks alot.

[@INSEALUSA]

Easy to understand, straight to the point...

[@alfonsorj70]

I went to the range today and I work to the technique called the hammer and I also worked on the control pair and it was a new experience that I really like and I did really well..thanks for the video

[@GBGuns]

Glad it could help.

[@detekstenbakker]

Haha, loved the outro about the angry comments. I was actually looking for the double tap crossfit exercise, but enjoyed your video anyway. ;)

[@NigelRodger-mw8lb]

Simple enough! I'll be working on that. Thanks

[@adamlong54]

Double tap at the local range your gone if you do it again. Lmao

[@doddgarger6806]

Which is ridiculous

[@jeffreylucas3421]

I always squeezed the trigger just enough to fire the round and then during the cycle released the trigger just enough to allow a reset and fire again. I mean moving my finger maybe 3/mm forward and rear. But I think I like your technique best.

[@vucci8378]

such a nice trigger on that 1911 and thank you for teaching us.

[@GBGuns]

Thanks for watching. It's an old video, but still valid I think.

[@plumcrazypreston2797]

The trigger reset is like the clutch pedal on an automobile, but in reverse. A good driver doesn't press all the way down to shift, just at that instinctive pedal position learned through practice and retained through muscle memory. No overkill. No over travel. This man is saying don't lett eh trigger over travel on letoff. The click is that letoff point that needs to be learned by repetition so muscle memory will take over.

[@scootertooter6874]

Absolutely lovely.

[@alvinison9931]

Nice shootin tip....but why the dislikes?...you explained it clear but some people are dumb to appreciate as if they're so called expert on this...keep on giving tips sir...godbls

[@GBGuns]

I think it's because I wasn't tacticool about it. I spent my time in uniform, now that I'm a civilian I see no need for the "operator" look and style.

[@thvtsydneylyf3th077]

thanks for the upload this was great!

[@jamiesloan5902]

I have an 8" plate set up exactly the same way. I also stand at 7 yards for a lot of my drills. I do change things up quite a bit though.

[@nickf8131]

That's a sweet looking gun! What is it?

[@leatherheadhoseck8462]

Thanks for the training tips man

[@ant02008]

Is it fair to say special forces would utilise the “controlled pair” for accuracy and in competitions people use “double tap” for speed over accuracy ?

[@GBGuns]

It depends on situations, controlled pair is of course best for mitigating collateral, but with some guns/situation you can hammer away

[@Baldcurious]

Actually as a competition shooter , I can tell you what you describe as a double tap is pretty much just spray and pray. Good shooters see their sight all the time. It's called , calling a shot. Most of the shooters will know that they missed as soon as shot breaks , because they know where sights are.

[@GBGuns]

+Bald&curious yup, and as 3-gun shooters we fired controlled pairs unless it was very close in which case it was a hammer.

[@douglashighlan8415]

Bald above is correct, most people with practice can shoot splits of .18-.20 seeing the sight on every shot. There is no shooter of A class or above that gets one sight picture and pulls the trigger twice. You might have close up index shooting at 3-5 yards but a sight picture is seen with anything beyond that. Enos says he can see it down to .11 sec.

[@Sapphire1987]

When I double tap I always search the front sight is lined up again horizontally, I've noticed when the first round is off to the right or left the second one is aswell.

[@GBGuns]

+Sapphire1987 I tend to shift horizontally if I'm rushing the shot. Usually to the left which happens when the right hand squeezes too much. We need to work on flexing just the trigger finger

[@Sapphire1987]

That's not the problem in my case when I double tap in IPSC. If my aim is of with the first shot to the left or right my second shot will be there aswell at the same height. So atm I'm more focussing on shooting points then time and getting that first shot straight in the center instead of rushing it. Anyhow so far it seems it's paying off. Maybe I should run abit faster ;)

[@GhostinTube]

whats your mouse DPI ;)

[@danielswartz6818]

To the controlled pair guy. I noticed that you swing your gun up to fire in a pendulum motion instead of a straight line. That takes too much time because 1. A radius is always shorter than a circumference. If you push the gun out from high ready the gun travels far less than a pendulum swing. Less time period. 2. You can find the sights a lot quicker with a straight push forward. The sights pop rite into alignment faster. You don't have to look for them. I notiiced that once you got the gun up in front of your face it took you a while to line up the sights and fire the first shot. Bad technique in presenting the firearms. Even if you draw from a holster, you don't swing up your gun. You take the shortest route. You need to take some lessons yourself.

[@GBGuns]

Yes, but there aren't many situations that start in the high ready

[@danielswartz6818]

@@GBGuns almost all shots are from the high ready. If you draw from a holster, and swing your gun up as you do, then the gun has to travel farther. If you move the gun in a straight line from the holster to the firing position, then the gun travels less, simple geometry. Distance between two places is a straight line. Now something I learned along the way. If you bring the gun up in a straight line from any position you will pick up the front sight. Now once you have done that then you drive that front sight straight to the target. Almost always it will automatically center in the rear sight. At short distances you can fire almost instantly. However at longer distances you may need a slight adjustment. Brian Enos has a good book out with a lot of tips. Dillon has a good source of shooting books and they also have excellent reloading equipment. Good warranties as well. There are others as well. And you did make a very good point on trigger movements.

[@dhruvshah7545]

Very good tutorial.

I guess it's equivalent to getting the timing right on a clutch.?

[@crankybuzzard6867]

want to work on that! Thanks.... nice video!

[@shaneozoa3721]

Thank you sir

[@BillHimmel]

Can you "hammer" with a double- action pocket gun like i.e. the Kahr CW380? Or do you need single-action like in the new springfield 911?

[@GBGuns]

That's up to the shooter. I can't but I bet @TheFireArmGuy can

[@showoffyoureverydaycarry4016]

Definitely something I've been working on. Thanks.

[@asterixky]

Thanks for the tips.

[@mia1shooter]

how far is the target?

Really angry comment ! Phew... I needed that, ty.

[@fci501]

isn't hammer 1 yard or less shot?

[@GBGuns]

That depends on your skill.

[@holl0wp0int]

We dont teach "hammer" in competition.

If you can do 2, then why not 4?

WTH.... no triple tap?

[@Callsign_Neuro]

At 2:50 you dropped the slide with nothing in it! No mag no round! 😫That hurt my soul a little. Great Video though! I'll be practicing this for sure next time I hit the range!

[@ColtonBlumhagen]

This is bad?

[@machinegreen1413]

Deuz_Ex_Machina _42 Watch Gunblue 490's channel on dropping the slide on a 1911. You'll be surprised. The guy knows his stuff.

[@GBGuns]

+Machinegreen I know. Just like dry firing certain guns is bad if done repeatedly. This was ONCE and to save you time

[@donlocke64]

Do some research,does no harm

[@jeremynelson9978]

So, we all learned how to double tap. Pull the trigger faster.....

That's 1 bad ass firearm Graham!

i thought this was a csgo tutorial lol

[@GBGuns]

What's CSGO?

[@CometZ]

@@GBGuns a game, in there u can do a exploit wich make u double tap with a gun haha

[@GBGuns]

Haha, nope this is the real thing, but a real two-war veteran teaching if that counts

[@ModernSamuraiProject]

Competitors (unless they are shooting Open division guns) that only get one sight picture for two shots are poor competitors.

[@GBGuns]

Or they're in 3-Gun. Seemed to work pretty well for me.

[@DanielGarcia-ue9kj]

So this apparently not a competitive shooting technique or noted as such. This should be noted as defensive shooting technique only.
