Pistol Trigger Control & Finger Placement

[@roberthoward3858]

I am a conceal carry individual....ive had several classes and always looking to improve my accuracy I watched your video yesterday and i was at the range today and applied what you mentioned and i was immediately into much smaller groups and much more accuate...may thanks...I take this very seriously...thanks for your help

[@RTTGunsGear]

Phenomenal!! That is awesome to hear! I'm glad it helped and thanks for watching!

[@christopherreeves7915]

Great information on trigger control fundamentals. This makes sense.

[@davidrisselada6199]

This is the method I teach. Though, I work with another guy who prefers the slack out method. If I am teaching in one of his venues i will do it his way. I can see from the perspective of a brand new shooter where the slack out might be beneficial. But, I freaking rock the reset method.

[@FreedomKat]

Very nice lesson and demonstration! Something to work on for sure!

[@RTTGunsGear]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@davidsawyer6003]

I really like your training videos, your explanations are easy to understand, I'm glad I found your channel.

[@RTTGunsGear]

AWESOME! I'm very glad to hear that! Thanks for watching and I'm happy people are getting something out of these.

[@nicholasmessina6406]

Great video. I believe trigger finger placement is entirely dependent on the pistol size, grip type, and finger length. There are competitive shooters who place the first joint of their finger on the trigger which is “wrong”. But in my experience there is no wrong just different. For example with my mid size colt and smith and Wesson’s the standard middle of my pointer finger placement works great but with my shorter and smaller round but gripped M206 I tend to lean towards my first joint as opposed to mid finger. It’s all about preference

[@SC68170]

I agree. I recently bought a M&P 2.0 compact. A little skeptical becsuse I have big hands but was reassured by others that they also had big hands and it fit them fine🙃. Was really bummed i have to much finger no matter what backstrap i use😢. I'd have to loosen my grip a tad and bend my finger more and I just don't think thats feasible. Got such a great deal on it. Beautiful 🔫! Light combo that came with it fits it like🤌perfectection. Didn't even get to shoot it and now I guess I got to sell it...

[@douglasferris]

Time, practice, learning, and lots of shooting. Sounds like fun!! Thanks for the video.

[@RTTGunsGear]

Thanks for watching!

[@ATS357]

This is one of the best videos I have seen on this subject!

[@RTTGunsGear]

Thank you!

[@DesertTactical]

Kick ass video! I also watched Frogman Tactical’s new video which touches on this subject as well. Took my notes from that video! I’m trying to find ways to speed up my shots more accurately. Thanks for this video, bro.

[@RTTGunsGear]

Cool! Thanks! I look forward to seeing your progress.

[@DesertTactical]

@@RTTGunsGear thanks, man!

[@RTTGunsGear]

@Desert Tactical grip grip grip...grip is the foundation for everything else. For quick follow-up shots. GRIP! And only run your trigger finger out to the wall so you can break your next shot off more quickly. But if your grip is trash, then your follow up sight picture will be slower and follow up shots will be less accurate.

[@DesertTactical]

@@RTTGunsGear makes a ton of sense.

[@anonymousglocky]

I’m 5’11 with longer bigger hands so I could never get my index finger in the center, I had to work around it with my handgrip and trigger pull. I used to shoot left really bad, it took about 2 years and working hard to get consistent follow up shoots fast

[@rjlewis8346]

Love your gun setups

[@RTTGunsGear]

Thanks! And thanks for watching!

[@eltenda]

Really really interesting video brother

[@ChrisFromThe740]

I am really enjoying these training videos Matt and I think you are helping a lot of shooters who watch these. I hope you have a great weekend and always looking forward to your next video.

[@RTTGunsGear]

Thanks man! I do appreciate it!

[@smsaunders77]

Great video man. I'm trying to like my G48 but thinking I want a g19 now after seeing this😮

[@RTTGunsGear]

Thanks man! And thanks for watching!

[@tracymbrooks]

Great video, I am a new shooter and I am curious as to what trigger is on your firearm? It does not look like any stock trigger that I have seen during my short time as a new shooter.

[@RTTGunsGear]

I have used stock triggers until recently as I have been testing and reviewing them. The one I'm currently using is the Overwatch PolyDat trigger. It's nice!

[@kanatislings9307]

Excellent video and advice….wisdom 😎🔥🔥🔥

[@RTTGunsGear]

Thank you!

[@richarddavis5221]

Thanks for the tip. Everywhere I go I hear the same thing use the middle of the index finger. It feels strange to me.

[@andyuseman7980]

Spot on. Say all this LOUDER for the folks in the back please. Those junk science diagrams are useless

[@douglasferris]

Aren't there dry-fire training pistols?

[@RTTGunsGear]

There's dry rifle slides, magazines, and lasers. But none of them replace old fashioned live fire practice. They're all good..don't get me wrong.

[@mikerobinson8734]

Are you still rocking the 19X?

[@RTTGunsGear]

Yep

[@mikerobinson8734]

@@RTTGunsGear your review on it gave me a new appreciation for it. It’s been my daily carry for the last 2 years and close to 4K rounds through it with out a recollection of any gun related malfunction. Do you plan on following up with an update on your 19x?

[@RTTGunsGear]

@Mike Robinson I appreciate it! I might do another. I honestly haven't been keeping very close track to the round count since my 10,000 round review of it. But maybe a "5 years later" or something may be in store. I am getting ready to do a Gen 3 slide on the 19x video though.

[@anonymousglocky]

I ended up sellin my 19x a few weeks ago, I’m replacing it with a Glock 45mos

[@mikerobinson8734]

@@anonymousglocky Right on brother 👍🏽

[@krishall3187]

Well sad sir. ❤

[@Mike-gh7vk]

That a Glock 19 gen 3?? Or do you have giant effing hands??

[@RTTGunsGear]

Yes to both..lol. But yes, it is a G19 Gen 3

[@Mike-gh7vk]

@@RTTGunsGear new sub! Love your shit man.

[@RTTGunsGear]

@@Mike-gh7vk Thank you!!

[@edged_mindset]

This is all great but how do we grow a bad ass beard like that?

[@RTTGunsGear]

Lol!!! It comes with lots of range time, meat, and a firm belief in the 2nd Amendment.

[@rico989]

Can mask improper trigger pull with two hand grip. One hand that’s another story.

[@RTTGunsGear]

Yes.. That is also something I'll be coving in a near future video

[@chuckmiller5763]

I just yank the gun out of my chonies one handed, thumb down at a 45 degree angle, and fire away, I learned in the hood.

[@RTTGunsGear]

😅😅😅

[@smsaunders77]

Word

[@stanwagner7569]

Now how he showed you with the tip of his finger. If you can't reach the trigger like that, it guns too big. You don't need a big gun. You need to be able to hit the target
