Thank you so much for your feedback! We firmly believe that to truly understand a skill and how it works, you need to dive deep into the WHAT, HOW, WHEN, and WHY behind it. 👍🏻
I have watched countless videos day in and day out and when i tell you this teaching is spot on, what makes this way of teaching different is that they are applying theory, and principal and then they actually do it, ❤ to show you it really works and it does, that’s how you know what they are teaching is solid.. Robert Vogel is another firearms teacher that stressed the same principal of the trigger finger going straight back to execute the shot point of aim and point of impact…. Keep teaching this was solid…… 💯%
Thanks for a great video. My only suggestion is that you use a mediocre or even poor shot as your demonstrator in future videos to demonstrate how the direction can make a difference.
Very nice. Some like increasing the pressure on the trigger gradually at a constant rate. Just a different technique. Excellent video. One of the best on trigger control.
Bought your online course few days ago and It's been helping a lot! 07:30 For me it's impossile to keep my first two parts of index finger fully straight at the same time keep finger pulp flat on the trigger. But then I focused on the second methond and tried to only move second knuckle, it workes out just fine. Again thank you for the amazing courses!

Staging the trigger is preferable technique for better accuracy. And TPC is a big advocate of the prep-press trigger manipulation. When we are talking about constant speed and straight back pull we address the actual trigger pull. That means the pull after the slack is taken. We do not care how to take the pre-travel as soon as it’s fast and without hesitation. So all the principles are applicable to the actual pull when the shooter reach the “wall” of the trigger.
This SOUNDS too silly and simple but it explains a lot of seeming random OBSERVATIONS I couldn’t quite tie together ! This from a guy that has struggled with the “handgun” to fire it as confidently, comfortably and precisely as a long gun.
It’s all about understanding the principles of What, How, When, and Why. Once you know them, you can do things your own way-but always make sure the principles are being applied 👍🏻
As someone who works out with grip trainers for wrestling/weightlifting, I would highly suggest against doing gimmicky things with them. Hand strength is more correlated with the tendons than the muscles in them. If you're not careful you can damage your tendons. Bob Vogel uses these grip trainers as well, but he doesn't do gimmicky things with them. Just does normal full finger reps with them. It's important to do them sparingly, once every couple of days. There's a lot of information out there on HOW to use them, so I hope people don't start using the grippers like they normally do their other weights or you will run into tendonitis.
As with anything else, the topic must be approached in a proper correct way! You and anyone interested can find our training system here: tacticalperformancecenter.com/grip-strength/
UrbanDefenseSystems, you are incorrect about the function of tendons. Tendons are not what is applying the contraction force in a grip or any other muscle /bone group in the body. Tendons do not contract like muscle fibers do. They do not on their own generate force. They work more like a multi fiber rope or more specifically a jerk strap or steel cable. Tendons connect the muscle to the bone. Their job is to keep that connection and act as a shock absorber. While not a perfect analogy , a tendon acts much like rope attaching two cars. One towing the other. Yes, it will absorb and release energy, but it is not what is generating the force; its the muscle. A tendon can of course imilit maximum application of the contraction force of muscles in that it will either rupture (tear apart) or detach from the bone. But Tendons are not the primary force generation for any movement. Its muscles. Further, your hoice of words in that manner calling the use of grip machine gimmicky has you putting yourself as the superior authority of knowledge and calling it gimmicky innthat manner is a back handed insult. You could have simply stated you did not agree with non-traditional use or use in that way. Interesting, given your incorrect statement about basic musculoskeletal functional anatomy. Something as basic function of a tendon. Straight from NIH Medical Library "The tendon is a mechanical bridge." It allows the transmission of muscle strength to the bones and joints. On the other hand, it enables the contraction of the muscle to make the final tangible movement. " Point is a tendon does not contract on its own thru neuronal stimulated fiber contraction. It can contract after being stretched or put under tension. Tendons are mostly collagen, one of the most abundant proteins in your body. Tendons also contain blood vessels and nerves. Collagen fibers are flexible, strong, and resistant to damage. A tendon's structure is similar to a fiberoptic cable or a rope. Much like a multi strand cable. They can absorb shock/energy and are used to attach bone to muscle, allowing muscle contraction to move the bone via the joint in this case. So they much like a cable act to absorb shock and as a flexible connection.
@@tonykomer2997 I think the issue here is that I didn't specify anything, and I should have known pseudo intellectual autists would descend and nitpick my comment. If you had reading comprehension, you'd know I was talking about GIMMICKY exercises. Don't believe me? Go ahead and re-read my sentence. My issue is with gimmicky uses of the grip trainer, not the grip trainer itself. I use grip trainers often for wrestling/bjj, weightlifting, and my USPSA competitions. If you can misunderstand something so elementary, you shouldn't go on long rants. Also, I know what tendons do and how they work, for PRACTICAL purposes (you know, such as avoiding situations where you get injured/waste time with "exercises" that do nothing to make you stronger), I mentioned that the tendons have more to do with hand strength for the purposes of showing how important it is to not overdo grip strength exercises because unlike bigger muscle groups, you're way WAY WAYYYY more likely to get tendonitis from overdoing it. You have to take the tendons in your hand much MUCH more into consideration when working on grip strength as to avoid injuries, which really was the main point I was trying to convey in a small paragraph. So, since I know nobody (except for a small percentage of insufferable people like you perhaps) would read a long sentence detailing the differences anatomy, I chose to make it simple for the layman. And as you can see, given the thumbs up, the "laymen" exist. You strike me as the same kind of guy who would make a huge deal over clip/magazine or suppressor/silencer.
@@UrbanDefenseSystems First of all, the suggested weight of using Captains of Crush Grippers for demonstrated exercise may vary for different individuals. An example is starting with Guide (60 LB), through Sportsman (80Lb) max to No.1 (140LB). Second, there is nothing gimmicky in a simple isometric pressure hold while improving the dexterity of the trigger finger. Quote: "Isometric exercises are one of the safest strength training techniques you can do. Why? Because, you do not have to lift heavy weights or move / burst with high intensity, rather you control the resistance and you control the results. You have an immediate response to your body’s needs." That's exactly what happens when you grip the gun. Let's keep a good, respectful tone, and let's continue to exchange useful and creative information on skills development! We are all students of life! Cheers!
I've been shooting left-handed. I've been putting them to the right on top of the target. I started shooting with my right hand, and i'm shooting right on the center I am right eye dominant, is that weird, but I feel that my gun is more aligned with my eye with my right hand . Maybe that's why.?
@@Cruiser777 Most likely you are heeling the gun at the moment of the shot. In other words, you are pushing the backstrap of the pistol grip forward when you pull the trigger. All that can be eliminated if you focus on the trigger finger isolation and constant grip pressure before, during, and after the shot ☝🏻Please watch: ruclips.net/video/AXSdhBpq-vo/видео.html
We prefer crisper triggers with a defined ‘wall’ so you can take the pre-travel aggressively and quickly and then be smooth on the actual trigger pull.
This video speaks to the first shot, and that's fine. I does not address burst fire pistol mgmt. Sear reset being a common skill issue, most training allows for full release (contact maintained) of trigger. Shooter begins next press forward of sear engagement. IMO, this allows for avoidable impulse mvmt of the pistol that must be compensated for prior to subsequent discharges. UoF incidents involve extreme stress, body actions are big/severe, and fine motor skills are gone. Managing 'gross motor mvmt' is key. Ergo, I teach sear reset from the rearmost trigger position (fully pressed). As sights are being reacquired for next intended shot, trigger finger releases in-control to point of sear reset. Presuming decision to fire, finger increases pressure to smooth rearward travel until wpn discharge. Trigger remains depressed as wpn recoils, and trigger is released to reset as recoil is managed and sight re-acquisition occurs. Rinse and repeat until immediate threat is neutralized or lull allows for re-assessment. This technique is compatible with most modern pistol trigger mechanisms. IMO, it's the most effective in high-stress situations, 'cuz a fully depressed trigger w/bullet discharged will not experience a negligent discharge in a dynamic tactical environment until it's intentionally released to sear reset AND pressure is applied to that trigger/sear. Of course, trigger finger returns to along-frame index when the immediate threat-response burst is complete.
Reset, prep technique is one of the most useful, especially with students who struggle with proper trigger pull. We disagree with one statement drought - we do not advocate to hold the trigger pinned to the rear until the muzzle flip is managed. We advocate resetting and prepping the trigger during the muzzle flip. We do not see a reason to keep the firearm not operational in a gunfight and holding the trigger pinned to the rear is exactly that. It's a teaching layer step for better trigger pull and follow-through but it is practically ineffective. Instead, reset and prep quickly during the recoil, confirm if the next shot is needed, and if you are committed to the shot, just increase the pressure on the trigger - the follow-up shot will happen by itself. ☝🏻 Please watch: ruclips.net/video/eBYzZpmstYY/видео.html
@@TacticalPerformanceCenter I don't believe we are in conflict/disagreement. I think we're describing what, in practical application, happens simultaneously (recoil management, threat assessment, trigger reset if f/u shot is decided action). I employ the step-by-step breakdown description as I teach it; students, to my experience, find it more available/understandable and actionable as they, amid slow-deliberate technique drills, work to overcome their reaction impulse to allow their trigger finger to lurch forward ('trying to beat the bullet from the barrel', as I oft describe) and frequently lose contact with the trigger (which we agree is poor technique). Thanks for the feedback reply and opportunity to discuss advance technique.
Question for OP I keep my dominant hand relaxed and that helps eliminate shooting pow and left. When I have a firm grip dominant hand my shots go low left
That is a lack of isolation of the trigger finger. When you grip harder, you most likely use more effort, and that triggers additional nerves which trigger at their end, more muscle groups engagement. That leads to the movement of the rest of the fingers when you are moving the index finger. A great drill to improve the dexterity of the trigger finger: ruclips.net/video/qZJTenjAh5A/видео.html
@@TacticalPerformanceCenter that's why I relax my dominant hand so I don't get that sympathetic pull FYI the walther pdp is such an easy gun to shoot fast. Have you ever shot the x5 legion that pistol rocks back and forth in my hand not a big fan
why do we have to minimaze leverege .....i have seen that when i am using it am mach mach more acurete.....of course am not so fast comparing with fingure activation ....but for me is one of the ways we can use .....
Minimizing leverage by gripping the gun as high as its design allows is key to reducing muzzle flip. This becomes especially critical when firing multiple shots at speed.
Здравей Роси , видеото е много полезно но за съжаление е само на Американски английски , /шамари , снимки и други !/ Ако можеш направи ено и на Български . Много Българи те гледат . Ако ти е трудно , поне диаграмите направи на БГ. Благодаря за видеото , да си жив и здрав ! 👍🍺🍺
Very well done video although you didn’t address the importance of trigger length and pull weight. I have large hands so it’s very difficult to pull straight through on a short trigger without impacting proper grip. Large hands extend trigger , small hands short trigger . You want to have your trigger sizes so your finger isn’t reaching for your trigger firing point. Secondly which is obvious is trigger weight pull and quality. Lighter is better with a crisp drop and minimal follow through. This will dramatically improve your overall hand movement during the pull. Spend the time to properly fit your firearm to your grip and then practice the way the video suggests.
Thank you for the feedback! Indeed, fitting the gun properly is a crucial element for a perfect trigger pull and a significant factor in achieving precision at speed. With more experience, we believe shooters can adapt more easily to grip sizes that may not be optimal for their hands. However, for top performance, we completely agree that grip size is playing a significant role. 👍🏻
If you noticed, we are using a different 2 inch dot for every principle and every concept. Even if each drill requires multiple individual shots, it’s quite easy to spot if there is a bad repetition (simply the shot will be outside the dot). It’s not necessary to complicate the drill with additional targets. Keep it simple but focused.
@@TacticalPerformanceCenter I’m glad you get my slightly “adult in nature” sense of humor and didn’t get offended. I just started watching your videos and I’m getting so much good information and applying it to my own practice at the range. Thank you!
@@TheAxe4Ever We do not get offended easily here so 👍🏻We are super happy that you find our videos informative and helpful! Please spread the word, that will help the channel to grow even bigger! 🖐🏻
these professionals that shoot rapid fire and the gun barely recoils, is that gun control or is that the gun is specially customized? i mean, it looks like there is like literally no barrel rise at all.
It's the user, not the gun. They are great at minimizing muzzle rise in a consistent and predictable way. This results in accurate shot placement during rapid fire. If you can get yourself to hyper-focus on exactly what you are doing with your arms, hands, and fingers, you can figure out what works and what doesn't.
I am no expert. What if he is wrong because he was taught wrong? Meaning the importance of the trigger over having a very strong grip. In the opening I can see he has a death grip, as there is little to no muzzle rise.
There is a tendency these days to oversimplify accuracy problems in pistol shooting, with many instructors claiming that a very strong grip can compensate for all other deficiencies. Well… to a degree! A firm and steady grip can indeed significantly improve accuracy, especially during close-range rapid fire, as the acceptable margin of error is larger. Yes, a firm grip helps recover the sights back to alignment and prevents the gun from moving in the hands, ensuring more consistent recoil recovery. However, if you neglect the principles emphasized in the video, such as isolating the movement of the trigger finger, you may experience a sympathetic reaction in the rest of the fingers. This can alter the grip pressure and negatively impact accuracy, particularly at longer distances or when making more precise shots.
@@TacticalPerformanceCenter I have never had an instructor say use a very tight grip. But I did have them say, and they are experts at shooting, incorrect things because they were told something incorrect to start with. "Anticipating" Um, no. I didn't push the gun low and left. That is the trigger you are speaking of in your video. A tighter grip got rid of it.
Attach a laser to your handgun. There is no better indicator of poor finger press in dry fire. There is even no need to aim - just manage to keep the dot steady on the wall.
Brings to mind all of the Hollywood B.S.movies for years and years where they always tell the person to _squeeze the trigger_ which is the worse thing you could do!
60 or 80 lb. based on your strength will be enough 👍🏻 Use Guide or Sport for this particular exercise. Visit our grip strength development page on the TPC website here: tacticalperformancecenter.com/grip-strength/
Only finger movement, not para-sympathetic movement in the holding fingers Imagine pulling the trigger straight back no matter what part of the finger is used - point that pulling part as if it's going to touch the nose. Always use Constant speed Know where the trigger breaks and actually fires the round.
@TacticalPerformanceCenter he means that with the target at 2m each shot is gonna be a good shot no matter how you pull the trigger. Put the target at 20m and show us your principles again.
It's highly recommended to buy a gun that fits your hands' size and shape. But as shooters, we must learn to adapt as well. A good shooter must be able to shoot every gun with reasonable success. Focusing on the knowledge about principles of shooting and control and dedicated training will make us less equipment dependant. ☝🏻
hola, si el empuñe es correcto ya puedes tener la presión que quieras sobre el disparador que los impactos estarán hay, es evidente que en una situación sin estrés con un mal empuñe y buena presión sobre el disparador los disparos están hay , pero eso no es una situación de combate , en la que nuestro cuerpo tiende ha contraer la musculatura bajo estrés , claro que se puede demostrar que con un mal empuñe , y buena tensión del disparador los impactos irán donde queremos , pero todo esto no es extrapolable ha una situación de combate , para videos de RUclips queda muy bien , pero no para intervenciones reales , ya que por la propia fisionomía humana tendemos ha tensar la musculatura bajo estrés , el impedir que los impactos no vayan ha donde queremos , única y exclusivamente se consigue en situación de combate y no de circo de feria ...... con un empuñe correcto , lo demás , es engañar a los tiradores .
That's the purpose of training. The more you train the more you develop the proper neuro pathways and more likely will be precise under stress. So basically you ingrain it as a subconscious skill. The grip pressure is of great importance in rapid-fire but trigger control is still a huge factor especially if the target is smaller (less exposed) or further away.
Hopefully for many, this is the very first step into the never ending journey toward skilled pistol craft. And if so, it’s one of the very best that any mere mortal could possibly afford.
Shifting your upper body to retrieve your firearm while carrying in appendix carry is wasted movement and time! There's zero need to shift your upper body, this is fundamentally wrong, yet many so-called "pros & trainers" do the upper body shift to the left or right. Your arms and hands should do all the moving...
Well, things are not so black and white. Yes, that's an additional motion which is in controversy with the principle of economy of motion but goes along with other principle - integrated action. You are not loosing time in that perspective because you are doing that motion at the same time with the draw. At the other hand that little body movement can provide better clearance to the gun and better initial grip which is important for the speed of engagement and control over the firearm.

You could have simply stated you did not agree with non-traditional use or use in that way. Interesting, given your incorrect statement about basic musculoskeletal functional anatomy. Something as basic function of a tendon.
Straight from NIH Medical Library
"The tendon is a mechanical bridge." It allows the transmission of muscle strength to the bones and joints. On the other hand, it enables the contraction of the muscle to make the final tangible movement. "
Point is a tendon does not contract on its own thru neuronal stimulated fiber contraction. It can contract after being stretched or put under tension.
Tendons are mostly collagen, one of the most abundant proteins in your body. Tendons also contain blood vessels and nerves. Collagen fibers are flexible, strong, and resistant to damage. A tendon's structure is similar to a fiberoptic cable or a rope. Much like a multi strand cable. They can absorb shock/energy and are used to attach bone to muscle, allowing muscle contraction to move the bone via the joint in this case. So they much like a cable act to absorb shock and as a flexible connection.
@@tonykomer2997 I think the issue here is that I didn't specify anything, and I should have known pseudo intellectual autists would descend and nitpick my comment. If you had reading comprehension, you'd know I was talking about GIMMICKY exercises. Don't believe me? Go ahead and re-read my sentence. My issue is with gimmicky uses of the grip trainer, not the grip trainer itself. I use grip trainers often for wrestling/bjj, weightlifting, and my USPSA competitions. If you can misunderstand something so elementary, you shouldn't go on long rants.
Also, I know what tendons do and how they work, for PRACTICAL purposes (you know, such as avoiding situations where you get injured/waste time with "exercises" that do nothing to make you stronger), I mentioned that the tendons have more to do with hand strength for the purposes of showing how important it is to not overdo grip strength exercises because unlike bigger muscle groups, you're way WAY WAYYYY more likely to get tendonitis from overdoing it. You have to take the tendons in your hand much MUCH more into consideration when working on grip strength as to avoid injuries, which really was the main point I was trying to convey in a small paragraph.
So, since I know nobody (except for a small percentage of insufferable people like you perhaps) would read a long sentence detailing the differences anatomy, I chose to make it simple for the layman. And as you can see, given the thumbs up, the "laymen" exist. You strike me as the same kind of guy who would make a huge deal over clip/magazine or suppressor/silencer.
They aren’t doing weird reps with them . Go do your sets and stop talking
@@UrbanDefenseSystems First of all, the suggested weight of using Captains of Crush Grippers for demonstrated exercise may vary for different individuals. An example is starting with Guide (60 LB), through Sportsman (80Lb) max to No.1 (140LB). Second, there is nothing gimmicky in a simple isometric pressure hold while improving the dexterity of the trigger finger. Quote: "Isometric exercises are one of the safest strength training techniques you can do. Why? Because, you do not have to lift heavy weights or move / burst with high intensity, rather you control the resistance and you control the results. You have an immediate response to your body’s needs." That's exactly what happens when you grip the gun. Let's keep a good, respectful tone, and let's continue to exchange useful and creative information on skills development! We are all students of life! Cheers!
Thank you very much for this lesson. Effectively, it seem natural .. but you dont think about that..
It sounds like a simple concept but there are many details that that can lead to a mistake 👍🏻
I've been shooting left-handed. I've been putting them to the right on top of the target. I started shooting with my right hand, and i'm shooting right on the center I am right eye dominant, is that weird, but I feel that my gun is more aligned with my eye with my right hand . Maybe that's why.?
If you shoot multiple shots(left-handed), is the first shot centered, or is still high?
@TacticalPerformanceCenter It's high to the right, then I do a kentucky wintage to the left, and I put Them in the center.
@@Cruiser777 Most likely you are heeling the gun at the moment of the shot. In other words, you are pushing the backstrap of the pistol grip forward when you pull the trigger. All that can be eliminated if you focus on the trigger finger isolation and constant grip pressure before, during, and after the shot ☝🏻Please watch: ruclips.net/video/AXSdhBpq-vo/видео.html
Tnks and great advice..
Excelent teatcher
Wow, is that Renato Laranja???
What do you prefer crisp or( creep) rolling trigger
We prefer crisper triggers with a defined ‘wall’ so you can take the pre-travel aggressively and quickly and then be smooth on the actual trigger pull.
This video speaks to the first shot, and that's fine. I does not address burst fire pistol mgmt. Sear reset being a common skill issue, most training allows for full release (contact maintained) of trigger. Shooter begins next press forward of sear engagement. IMO, this allows for avoidable impulse mvmt of the pistol that must be compensated for prior to subsequent discharges.
UoF incidents involve extreme stress, body actions are big/severe, and fine motor skills are gone. Managing 'gross motor mvmt' is key. Ergo, I teach sear reset from the rearmost trigger position (fully pressed). As sights are being reacquired for next intended shot, trigger finger releases in-control to point of sear reset. Presuming decision to fire, finger increases pressure to smooth rearward travel until wpn discharge. Trigger remains depressed as wpn recoils, and trigger is released to reset as recoil is managed and sight re-acquisition occurs.
Rinse and repeat until immediate threat is neutralized or lull allows for re-assessment.
This technique is compatible with most modern pistol trigger mechanisms. IMO, it's the most effective in high-stress situations, 'cuz a fully depressed trigger w/bullet discharged will not experience a negligent discharge in a dynamic tactical environment until it's intentionally released to sear reset AND pressure is applied to that trigger/sear. Of course, trigger finger returns to along-frame index when the immediate threat-response burst is complete.
Reset, prep technique is one of the most useful, especially with students who struggle with proper trigger pull. We disagree with one statement drought - we do not advocate to hold the trigger pinned to the rear until the muzzle flip is managed. We advocate resetting and prepping the trigger during the muzzle flip. We do not see a reason to keep the firearm not operational in a gunfight and holding the trigger pinned to the rear is exactly that. It's a teaching layer step for better trigger pull and follow-through but it is practically ineffective. Instead, reset and prep quickly during the recoil, confirm if the next shot is needed, and if you are committed to the shot, just increase the pressure on the trigger - the follow-up shot will happen by itself. ☝🏻 Please watch: ruclips.net/video/eBYzZpmstYY/видео.html
@@TacticalPerformanceCenter I don't believe we are in conflict/disagreement. I think we're describing what, in practical application, happens simultaneously (recoil management, threat assessment, trigger reset if f/u shot is decided action). I employ the step-by-step breakdown description as I teach it; students, to my experience, find it more available/understandable and actionable as they, amid slow-deliberate technique drills, work to overcome their reaction impulse to allow their trigger finger to lurch forward ('trying to beat the bullet from the barrel', as I oft describe) and frequently lose contact with the trigger (which we agree is poor technique).
Thanks for the feedback reply and opportunity to discuss advance technique.
merci
What kind of pistols are they using . FN or HK 2:48
It's a CZ P09 www.czub.cz/en/firearms-and-products-family/p-7-9
Question for OP I keep my dominant hand relaxed and that helps eliminate shooting pow and left. When I have a firm grip dominant hand my shots go low left
That is a lack of isolation of the trigger finger. When you grip harder, you most likely use more effort, and that triggers additional nerves which trigger at their end, more muscle groups engagement. That leads to the movement of the rest of the fingers when you are moving the index finger. A great drill to improve the dexterity of the trigger finger: ruclips.net/video/qZJTenjAh5A/видео.html
@@TacticalPerformanceCenter that's why I relax my dominant hand so I don't get that sympathetic pull
FYI the walther pdp is such an easy gun to shoot fast. Have you ever shot the x5 legion that pistol rocks back and forth in my hand not a big fan
why do we have to minimaze leverege .....i have seen that when i am using it am mach mach more acurete.....of course am not so fast comparing with fingure activation ....but for me is one of the ways we can use .....
Minimizing leverage by gripping the gun as high as its design allows is key to reducing muzzle flip. This becomes especially critical when firing multiple shots at speed.
INDEED THANK YOU

Very well done video although you didn’t address the importance of trigger length and pull weight. I have large hands so it’s very difficult to pull straight through on a short trigger without impacting proper grip. Large hands extend trigger , small hands short trigger . You want to have your trigger sizes so your finger isn’t reaching for your trigger firing point. Secondly which is obvious is trigger weight pull and quality. Lighter is better with a crisp drop and minimal follow through. This will dramatically improve your overall hand movement during the pull. Spend the time to properly fit your firearm to your grip and then practice the way the video suggests.
Thank you for the feedback! Indeed, fitting the gun properly is a crucial element for a perfect trigger pull and a significant factor in achieving precision at speed. With more experience, we believe shooters can adapt more easily to grip sizes that may not be optimal for their hands. However, for top performance, we completely agree that grip size is playing a significant role. 👍🏻
Tip: buy a mantis X training system. It will analyze all of the mistakes you might make
MantisX is a great tool for trigger pull analysis. We highly recommend it! 👌
🔥
Very niice
Very good! 👌🙂
What happened could afford more targets??? Hard to tell what you re doing if you re using the same target over and over
If you noticed, we are using a different 2 inch dot for every principle and every concept. Even if each drill requires multiple individual shots, it’s quite easy to spot if there is a bad repetition (simply the shot will be outside the dot). It’s not necessary to complicate the drill with additional targets. Keep it simple but focused.
The women love it when you do the “come here, come here” trigger finger exercises. Did I just say that joke out loud?! 🤦🏼♂️
😁 You did!
Happy wife,happy family ☝🏻😁

👏👏👏
these professionals that shoot rapid fire and the gun barely recoils, is that gun control or is that the gun is specially customized? i mean, it looks like there is like literally no barrel rise at all.
It's the user, not the gun. They are great at minimizing muzzle rise in a consistent and predictable way. This results in accurate shot placement during rapid fire. If you can get yourself to hyper-focus on exactly what you are doing with your arms, hands, and fingers, you can figure out what works and what doesn't.
I am no expert. What if he is wrong because he was taught wrong? Meaning the importance of the trigger over having a very strong grip. In the opening I can see he has a death grip, as there is little to no muzzle rise.
There is a tendency these days to oversimplify accuracy problems in pistol shooting, with many instructors claiming that a very strong grip can compensate for all other deficiencies. Well… to a degree! A firm and steady grip can indeed significantly improve accuracy, especially during close-range rapid fire, as the acceptable margin of error is larger. Yes, a firm grip helps recover the sights back to alignment and prevents the gun from moving in the hands, ensuring more consistent recoil recovery.
However, if you neglect the principles emphasized in the video, such as isolating the movement of the trigger finger, you may experience a sympathetic reaction in the rest of the fingers. This can alter the grip pressure and negatively impact accuracy, particularly at longer distances or when making more precise shots.
@@TacticalPerformanceCenter I have never had an instructor say use a very tight grip. But I did have them say, and they are experts at shooting, incorrect things because they were told something incorrect to start with. "Anticipating" Um, no. I didn't push the gun low and left. That is the trigger you are speaking of in your video. A tighter grip got rid of it.
Great instructions but why the sad music in the background?!!!
It should be an ambient, scientific musical theme. 😁

Attach a laser to your handgun. There is no better indicator of poor finger press in dry fire. There is even no need to aim - just manage to keep the dot steady on the wall.

The trigger can now be replaced with a more sensitive one
Yes, but still those principles must be applied if you want to have an accurate shot ☝🏻
When i shoot my firearm each time at the range my gun is recoiling to the right
That is a grip issue. Please watch: ruclips.net/video/uUNKnuREuK4/видео.html
Guy in the black shirt was standing like if he been riding a horse all day
Brings to mind all of the Hollywood B.S.movies for years and years where they always tell the person to _squeeze the trigger_ which is the worse thing you could do!
Indeed! The word "squeeze" doesn't represent a good analogy for sure 👍🏻☝🏻
Good info 🇺🇸🧂
Glad you enjoyed it
Can someone tell me how many pounds of pressure resistance is that gripper from Iron Mind?
60 or 80 lb. based on your strength will be enough 👍🏻 Use Guide or Sport for this particular exercise. Visit our grip strength development page on the TPC website here: tacticalperformancecenter.com/grip-strength/
Only finger movement, not para-sympathetic movement in the holding fingers
Imagine pulling the trigger straight back no matter what part of the finger is used - point that pulling part as if it's going to touch the nose.
Always use Constant speed
Know where the trigger breaks and actually fires the round.
👍🏻
I feel like I am learning things from Borat
Hey, it's good that you are learning 👍🏻😁
Yes
If you are Alec Baldwin, you don’t even have to pull the trigger. It does that all by itself
trigger control in 2m????
What do you mean?
@TacticalPerformanceCenter he means that with the target at 2m each shot is gonna be a good shot no matter how you pull the trigger. Put the target at 20m and show us your principles again.
Your gun should match the size of your hand makes you more accurate too
It's highly recommended to buy a gun that fits your hands' size and shape. But as shooters, we must learn to adapt as well. A good shooter must be able to shoot every gun with reasonable success. Focusing on the knowledge about principles of shooting and control and dedicated training will make us less equipment dependant. ☝🏻
using the tip of your finger is poor control. after release you have no way to stop overtravel, only a sudden clash with the stop.
There is no poor control if you can apply the two core principles of trigger control: 1) move only the finger, and 2) pull straight back. ☝🏻
hola, si el empuñe es correcto ya puedes tener la presión que quieras sobre el disparador que los impactos estarán hay, es evidente que en una situación sin estrés con un mal empuñe y buena presión sobre el disparador los disparos están hay , pero eso no es una situación de combate , en la que nuestro cuerpo tiende ha contraer la musculatura bajo estrés , claro que se puede demostrar que con un mal empuñe , y buena tensión del disparador los impactos irán donde queremos , pero todo esto no es extrapolable ha una situación de combate , para videos de RUclips queda muy bien , pero no para intervenciones reales , ya que por la propia fisionomía humana tendemos ha tensar la musculatura bajo estrés , el impedir que los impactos no vayan ha donde queremos , única y exclusivamente se consigue en situación de combate y no de circo de feria ...... con un empuñe correcto , lo demás , es engañar a los tiradores .
That's the purpose of training. The more you train the more you develop the proper neuro pathways and more likely will be precise under stress. So basically you ingrain it as a subconscious skill. The grip pressure is of great importance in rapid-fire but trigger control is still a huge factor especially if the target is smaller (less exposed) or further away.
I don't think your "intro" is long enough lol
Hopefully for many, this is the very first step into the never ending journey toward skilled pistol craft.
And if so, it’s one of the very best that any mere mortal could possibly afford.
We are glad you appreciate our content! We believe continuing Ron Avery's legacy is our main mission! 👍🏻🔥
Shifting your upper body to retrieve your firearm while carrying in appendix carry is wasted movement and time! There's zero need to shift your upper body, this is fundamentally wrong, yet many so-called "pros & trainers" do the upper body shift to the left or right. Your arms and hands should do all the moving...
Well, things are not so black and white. Yes, that's an additional motion which is in controversy with the principle of economy of motion but goes along with other principle - integrated action. You are not loosing time in that perspective because you are doing that motion at the same time with the draw. At the other hand that little body movement can provide better clearance to the gun and better initial grip which is important for the speed of engagement and control over the firearm.
Now try using some one who isn't as experienced as a shooter.
We do that all the time in our classes 🙂
