Doing these drills will help build a grip controls that both preignition movement and movement caused by pressing the trigger itself.

Instead of letting the trigger surprise you, learn the skill of knowing that when you mash the trigger, the gun is going to go off.

We know we talk about this a lot, but the one shot return drill in live fire and the trigger control at speed drill in live fire and dry fire are great ways to learn how to slam the trigger (mimicking pressing the trigger quickly).

And for your firing hand, learn to pull the trigger straight to the rear and isolate movement of the trigger finger (as opposed to moving the whole hand).

Rather than trying to let the trigger surprise you to control preignition movement, the better way to do it is by practicing building a grip, especially with your support hand, that controls and counteracts preignition movement.

does lead the shooter to subconsciously move the sights off target while pressing the trigger. This is a common cause or the low/low-left shot pattern for new shooters.

The gun going off should not be a surprise.

For sure, preignition movement is a problem a lot of new shooters and even shooters who are more experienced have. The preignition movement, what most people know as flinching when pulling the trigger,

The theory being if the trigger surprises you, you won’t involuntarily flinch with your firing hand in anticipation of the recoil, thereby not moving the gun off target. Just leave this canard in the past.

“Let the trigger surprise you”

Something that for years many shooters were instructed is to let the trigger surprise you. I.e. to press through the wall and the break and not think about when the gun is going to go off, so that it surprises you.

Fuddlore Friday:
"New to shooting? Let the trigger surprise you!"
"What? Just learn to slam the trigger and know the gun goes off."

Second stage here shooter didn’t really clock that he had hit the small target with the first shot. Other than that, reloads from belt magnet isn’t something this shooters has practiced a lot, so had some issues there getting the mag backwards. 17A 4C, 4.8891 HF, 9/20 CO.

If you’re trans and looking to tool up, the time is now. There’s no gun registry in the USA for existing owned firearms. But impeding regulations from AG Pam Bondi (who herself had an anti-gun record as Florida AG) could impair your ability to buy from an FFL.

And when you consider the main cost in the end will be ammo.

Thankfully, the difference in cost between Dagger/RXM and Glock is less stark than Vimes’ boots. And the difference is less stark when you budget in the fact that your new pistol, regardless of what it is, will need light, holster, mags, and optic.

You need the shit to work all the time without breaking and if it does break, you need to fix it quickly and inexpensively by yourself.

Unfortunately you, a financially conscious buyer, cannot afford to be tinkering with crap, have things frequently break, sending your only gun back to the manufacturer etc.

Whereas PSA historically is of the vibe of outsourcing quality control to the user, and the RXM you’re basically beta testing.

As go boots, so too handguns. Recall our earlier post (on IG and Twitter) about Glock clones. What you’re paying for with the original is quality control in materials and manufacturing tolerance so your 19 is made to spec every time.

Over the course of those 10 years, the rich person has saved money by not having to buy boots every year over the decade.

Yellow Peril Tactical @yellowperiltac.bsky.social · Sep 4

So the theory goes, a rich person can get a pair really good $50 boots that would keep their feet dry for 10 years. The poor, meanwhile, can only afford shoddy $10 boots that least for a year or so.
