RED SIRT PISTOL
CLEAR COAT SIRT PISTOLIf you are a serious shooter, you know for a fact how important dry fire practice is. TRIGGER CONTROL is one of the two most important factors of effectively and accurately placing your shots on target. Dry fire practice enables you to focus your complete attention on smoothly pressing the trigger to the rear without letting your FRONT SIGHT,(the second of the two factors), move off
of the center mass of whatever your intended target/threat is. Proper trigger manipulation is nothing more than: 1.Taking the slack out of the trigger, right up to the point where the trigger if pressed, any further back will break the shot; 2.Continue to press the trigger straight back,smoothly, until the shot breaks; 3. Resetting the trigger,by not taking your finger off the trigger, and moving it forward to that same point to where your trigger was when you initially took up the slack, and then pressing again to break the next shot if needed. I always tell my students that the trigger finger has to operate independent of all other aspects of firing the gun.
The drill should go like this; Slack, Press, Reset, Press, Reset, Press, and continue until you have fired the desired amount of rounds. This should be done at a pace that is ROBOTICLY SLOW! and increased gradually until you are doing this without having to think about it. Once you have reached this point to where you are systematically resetting the trigger, then the drill should be stepped up to where you are telling yourself; FRONT SIGHT, PRESS each time you SMOOTHLY PRESS the trigger to the rear.
Now in the past unless you had a pistol that fires in the double action mode, for instance, a Sig P229 you would have had to rack the slide in order for you to be able to do this drill, like with any of the Glock pistols.
Now, thanks to a company named; NextLevel Training, you can purchase an exceptional training tool. The SIRT (SHOT INDICATING RESETTING TRIGGER) pistol. This tool will allow you to practice SAFELY anywhere at any time and give you the advantage of being able to completely focus on those two most important shooting fundamentals, FRONT SIGHT PLACEMENT AND TRIGGER CONTROL!
With the cost of ammo today it can become very expensive to get in enough practice to keep your skill level up. As with most sports, you have to practice and practice if you want to stay at the top of your game. Again, now you have a tool available that once purchased will give you hours and hours of valuable training time. Based on the cost of 50 rounds of 9mm, @ approx. $10.00 -$12.00, the SIRT PISTOL WILL HAVE PAID FOR ITSELF ON THAT 1,500 TRIGGER PRESS especially, when you figure in the cost of going to and from the range, gasoline, targets, and range fees.
Proper trigger manipulation, or any other skill for that matter, can only be perfected by continuous repetitions of doing it the correct way. This is known as conditioning in the training world. It's not so much muscle memory, but a marriage between the physiological and neurological systems. It takes approximately 3,000 repetitions just to learn a skill, and about 10,000 repetitions to burn it into your subconscious (YOUR MID BRAIN) so that your performing it without even thinking about it. This is where the saying "DON'T JUST TRAIN UNTIL YOU GET IT RIGHT! TRAIN SO THAT YOU CAN'T GET IT WRONG" comes from.
