Nimitz Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 is there some reason folks just don't go buy his books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZinZA Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I have bought Ben's books. But here in South Africa, they cost more than 80 dollars each - which is pretty expensive in a third world country. Our firearm market is just too small to be cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candiru Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 You can get the electronic version of his books on Amazon. (At least we can in the U.S. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZinZA Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 True. That is cheaper. But I prefer my training book to be made of paper. I did buy Brian's book electronically, and that worked great - but it's not the same as working on a book full of drills - then I prefer paper. Maybe I'm just old. We also pay about twice as much for guns as you guys do in the USA. Then we have to wait around six months for a licence to take possession (if it's granted). You have it good over there (apart from California, of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tha1000 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I did my first Setup A today, hoping to make time to follow this for a few weeks and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tha1000 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 It takes me about an hour to do the 15 minute drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortBus Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I've never taken dry fire serious, but now that I'm trying to take pistol shooting serious I've tryed to up the dry fire. It's nothing new to sit in front of the TV and pull the trigger once and rack the slide and repeat trying to focus on a smooth trigger pull. The problem I'm having is once I pull the trigger (striker fired guns) It's just not the same. I've tryed to just keep going and keep pulling the trigger but it's not even close to being normal. If I shot a glock I'd get a SIRT but unfortunately I don't. Will pulling a dead trigger do anything? Does it really help. I'm Leary to spend the time setting everything up and following a program currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1gcountry Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Take a small piece of cardboard from a ripped up business card, and put it in the chamber between the barrel and the breach face. The trigger will not break, and you will be able to pull the trigger against resistance repeatedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortBus Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 VP9 and M&P9 pro. I can pull a trigger all day long smooth as butter when there's no releasing of the striker and it's totally different then actually pulling the trigger. I haven't tryed this on the smith yet but the HK does send the trigger back home but does not reset the actual striker or anything. So yes I could do what the guy did in the video and run around pulling a 1.5 pound trigger that has no "wall" or break but how is that going to help when it normally has a 4.5 pound break?

b1gcountry Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 It helps because the trigger break is only about 10% of your shooting. Most of your speed will come from moving the gun between targets, moving yourself between positions, and indexing the sights quickly between targets. If you can get a quick, smooth trigger pull, then these become the important part. If you can't get a smooth enough trigger break, then you need to work on that as an isolated skill in dry fire in addition to the other drills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobapunk Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 The M&P has a trigger return spring, so you can just pull the trigger over and over. I think the HK is the same way.Glocks, and the FNS leave the trigger to the rear after you press it (unless the gun cycles), so there are all sorts of methods to rig them to work more like the M&P. BTW, I thought that NLT was supposed to be releasing an M&P SIRT. You may want to check into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting hung up on that but now I think I'm past that realizing there is much more to dry fire than trigger control. They have been saying a M&P SIRT is coming for a while. I'll beleive it when I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
