  • Handguns - Drills - Correcting Trigger Slap

Teaches:
trigger control, smooth trigger pull

Requires:
handgun of choice, proper range.

Drill:
Shooters moving from slowfire to rapid fire often move their trigger fingers all the way off the trigger between shots. This has a couple of negative effects. First, it takes time. Second, it leads to inaccuracy because the tendency is to slap the trigger on the second and subsequent shots.

To fix this, follow through on your shots with your trigger finger. Hold the trigger back all the way through recoil. When the sights are again aligned slowly release the trigger until the link re-engages. Then press to make the next shot.

This is a great dry fire drill. Once you know how far to release the trigger of your gun, both your accuracy and your speed go up.

Variations:
None Known.
