Key Principles 6 Trigger Control

[@quayjohnsonsr.8291]

This is 100% correct. Shooters are "over-preparing" themselves for the blast therefore they pull too hard and/or too quick right when they feel the gun is about to go off. That will result in either a push or pull (depending on the position of their finger on the trigger) which will affect the accuracy. As stated in the video, let that shot surprise you. Stay focused, aim, and pull that trigger. Once it shoot/kick, that bullet has already reached its intended destination if no push or pull affected the aim. I've finally found a video I can share with the members. BEAUTIFULLY EXPLAINED!

Not a veteran but this will help me with my 30.06 and whitetail hunting. Thanks, very insightful.

Funny you mentioned the part about the trigger bar coming straight back. First time I cleaned my m&p gen 1, I was observing the internals and how everything works. I noticed that when i pull the trigger, the trigger bar first moves slightly to the left where it touches the inside of the slide stop/release. then it moves rearward, gliding along keeping contact with the slide stop. I have know idea if this is a flaw or meant to be this way. I also noticed and verifies again today after cleaning that there is a small metal bump, protrusion, extension etc on the inside of the slide stop, which is what the trigger bar is actually making contact with. Coincidentally, due to the design of the trigger bar, there is a long raised or protruding area running the full length of the trigger bar (left side, outward facing) that mates up perfectly with the corresponding raised area on the slide stop. Is this all meant to be? Do you or anyone else have these in their m&p's? Almost seemed to be designed this way but I have nothing to compare to. Most concerned about the trigger bar shift to the left then anything else. Again, my sample is a m&p-9 gen 1 4.25". purchased between 2014-2015. Any advice would be appreciated. Thnk you!

There are schools that still teach the surprised breaks. And it’s 2023

[@xcd87]

you should film all your new vids like this too.

I had to look up Jack in the box after watching this

[@sunburststrats]

what are those glasses...?

[@warriorgospel8168]

Surprise Break seems just like Negligent Discharge.

[@themadminuteman]

All this is all myth based training 🤷‍♂️

[@tysonbear]

What glock trigger do you recommend? Can it be improved without sacrificing reliability? It seems like excessive over travel is the problem.

His Christ costa comp 2011 ditched on the floor in this frame reminds me of my fondest childhood memories when I’d lose attention with what I’m playing with ditch it ,to find something else a that’s a lot cheaper to play with .

[@sunburststrats]

All that matters is the right grip and stance. Trigger jerk is a myth and trigger manipulation doesn't matter when your gun doesn't move from a tight grip esp when shooting fast and accurate.

Time to install match triggers, I'll never have to practice again :D jk

Trigger control is a myth. The trigger doesn’t matter unless you’re shooting a .338 Norma at a mile. With a handgun, trigger control means nothing. Anticipating the shot and a poor grip is what effects accuracy on target. Pull as fast as you can. If you’re throwing your shots, fix your grip and your anticipation.
