Trigger reset, Flinching and pistol fundamentals.

It's been a while friends! Just wanted to upload something to show you guys I'm still hitting the range! Life has been keeping me pretty preoccupied and finally I had time to upload something!
This was a fun range day with some friends and this is just a small snippet of things that were covered! This was shot maybe a month or so ago so a lot of things have changed and stuff has been moved around. I no longer have a comp on my pistol and have just gone to running a stock barrel with the magwell and the Aimpoint ACRO P-1 with stock internals.

[@canineconsigliere806]

What a phenomenal Teacher this guy is!! The two teaching techniques of putting the mag on the rear sights for sight picture and the other of pressing the trigger for the student are just fantastic ideas! Only so much can be communicated using words. Visualization and feel techniques are so important. Possibly to help someone like the guy closest to the camera with changing trigger press habits, the press and reset can be described as one fluid motion back and forth. He seemed to have difficulty getting his brain to take the “second step” of resetting the trigger immediately. If he didn’t think of this as a “second step”, but thought of the press and reset as one step, it might help someone like him conceptualize the action more easily.

[@OTG_Zulu]

Look up dryfire mag and if they make something for your pistol definitely try to pick one up. Basically it’s a mag that resets your pistols trigger without you have to build in bad subconscious muscle memory by racking the slide each trigger press. The price is steep but I’d pay it twice over because how much it helped.

[@blastbeetus]

You are such a good instructor. I’d imagine you being a great teacher, in general.

[@Pedizzle]

@@Underbottom.Sandydown Bokeh is a term in photography and videography that refers to subject separation; in this case, Mojo was in focus while the background was a little out of focus. Glass refers to the elements in the lens, primary to these being the glass. These days, there aren’t any bad lenses, just better ones. Mojo’s camera dude definitely got a better one.

[@Milkywaymike]

7:42 was a perfect example of pushing the gun down. If you have dummy rounds it would great to put them in to help with anticipation.

[@milspec_mojo]

The Flinching or the “anticipation” is a good thing. As long as the shooter is anticipating after the trigger is pulled not before. If he anticipates every time he has no rounds in the gun but every time he pulls the trigger the rounds go they need to go I don’t see a problem with that at all. It’s the principle and understanding of how am I supposed to know when he is anticipating? Is it before? Or is it after he pulled the trigger? We simply don’t know but if the proof is in the pudding and none of his shots are hitting low on the target we at least know he’s anticipating when he needs to and that’s to control the gun after he has pulled the trigger.

[@bunnyoperator]

I completely agree with setting the standard and training to the standard VS training to the baby steps. Of course, we're supposed to break the techniques down but teaching to the individual steps places a crutch on advancement and can create hindering habits. This is analogous to teaching arrest & control or any form of unarmed techniques. The flow of the technique, say a twist lock, gets jacked up. You see folks moving like robots overthinking each step vs allowing the takedown to flow properly and totally ruining leverage and momentum. Good stuff, brotha.

When I started shooting, I was guilty of pinning the trigger. After constant practice and retraining myself to learn how to ride the trigger properly, not only are follow up shots coming faster but just as accurate. This is a great video that helps understand the idea. Another one from Warrior Poet was the one I watched where it all clicked and I got it.

[@kayshell66]

A thing that helped me with instant reset was just dry fire and knowing where my reset happens with my stock Glock 19 trigger. I spent a lot of time pinning the trigger and slowly walking it forward to the reset, and paying REALLY close attention to how much tension was still in my finger. Now when I shoot fast with an instant reset, all I'm doing is relaxing my finger just enough to let the trigger come forward to the wall and my finger never leaves the trigger. I feel like what holds a lot of people back is the mental game of "getting off the trigger" combined with not knowing their trigger well enough so they don't know how much tension still needs to be in their finger to get to that wall after the shot breaks.

[@ImDippinIn]

Good points and I appreciate the info. It’s nice to see some more advice

[@kayshell66]

@@ImDippinIn No problem! Just gotta isolate the mechanics of it and figure out what works for you 😊 you got this! 💪🏼

[@themadminuteman]

Pinning the trigger is a waste of time. Properly place tight two handed grip overrides any trigger jerk / slap / anticipation. Shooting left is loose grip and or index. Index is the alignment of the gun in your hands. If it's off you will group left or right High low shots are from sights / eye misalignment, oscillating from bad stance and bad grip.

[@seanoneil277]

Nice teaching, Mojo! Aound the middle of the video, about 5:50 on the clock, Angel seemed to be finalizing his grip very late, almost when he's at full extension. I'm wondering if it would be better for him to mate his grip much closer to his torso, so that it's finalized before he presents out to extension?

Whatttttt, another video from Mojo?? 👊🏼👊🏼

[@TerminalM193]

It's weird seeing a LEO trying to work through the process of trigger reset. I truly never understood why pinning the trigger was ever taught as any kind of standard whatsoever, even with new shooters. You're literally introducing more unnecessary steps into a process that already has far too many steps as is. You could tell that doing anything other than pinning that trigger back was almost incomprehensible. I truly commend him for seeking proper training. In the few cases that I've had to deal with this I can usually break the habbit by telling the shooter to fire the gun as quickly as possible without losing control and there will be no target, just a 10' dirt mound. When trying to fire as fast as you can you automatically get off that trigger naturally since you've now thought about speeding that finger up for the next shot you're already anticipating. Once going back to single shot firing or slowed down firing you might see them slapping the trigger almost like the cop was in the video where the entire finger is coming out of the trigger guard. That process is then far easier to break. Mojo is legendary trainer status and I would be honored to train under him.
