Ghorsley

I just bought a new CZ SPO1 tacticle. It might have one of the worst DA and SA triggers I have felt. I bought it knowing it would need major trigger work so no surprise. Do I have to send it to CZ CUSTOM or CGW? I don’t want to work on it myself.

HK VP9 SK Classified 126 posts Gender:Male Location:Bridgeport, WV Posted 17 minutes ago Ghorsley, Ben recommends pulling on the dead trigger twice as hard you think you need to. What about reset? Is that not an important part of dry firing practice

I read a lot of posts on trigger control because apparently I’m not too good at it. Specifically trigger control drills. Would someone please clarify how it’s possible to rapid fire when you are dry firing. The gun won’t go into battery without a half rack of the slide, so how are you able to simulate rapid fire? What am I missing. thanks a lot

Posted Wednesday at 05:04 PM (edited) Not exactly sure what you are referring to with regards to your slide. What type of pistol are you dry firing with? Edited Wednesday at 05:04 PM by CrashDodson HK VP 9SK. So....my question is, when dry firing, how do you practice rapid fire if you have to rack the slide each time you pull the trigger. Maybe whoever was talking about rapid fire “dry firing” was just pulling the trigger on an un cocked trigger. How does that help you

My reflexes and eyesight are not close to what they used to be. Will these red dot things help? How much do I need to spend for decent quality? Thanks for the help

Bruce is a terrific person as well as a great gunsmith. Just know it’s a long wait

I hear the term “follow up” or “follow through” as a good thing to practice. I never have understood what it was supposed to do for you? The bullet has already hit the target so what are you “following up “ on?

I showed a couple of my practice USPSA targets to a friend today. While I managed to shoot mostly A’s they were all grouped low left at 7yds. I can guarantee if I went to 10 or 15 yds things would have been much worse. He mentioned changing to a compact could be part of the problem. I normally shoot a 5” barrel. I bought the HK vp9sk for carry. When I figure out if it’s flinching or something else I think I can get it fixed. A few sessions with a GM and a couple of thousand rounds should get me back in the game Thanks again for all your help.

Thanks guys. All good information here. I will practice some or all of these suggestions. Off topic a bit, but here’s something that always amazes me; I’ve been to several world class shooting classes. The instructors all have national and world championships. The interesting thing is they have different mechanics they teach. One champ slaps his trigger. Another one wants you to have a 60/30 grip. Here’s one that says squeeze the living **** out of it. Then there is the shoot to reset instructor. Another says it’s impossible to shoot fast from reset. One of the most famous shooters in the world says to shoot fast, forget about sights and just point it. I get it that most of these guys have shot so much they can get away with deviations from the norm. For me, it’s too many options from people that know what they are talking about. Maybe Brian will comment.

I have to concentrate with other guns on pressing the trigger straight back. But it is not working so much on this gun

I’ve known people that always group low left. Not pressing the trigger straight back is what I thought was the culprit. Well it’s happened to me. I bought a new carry gun last week, a VP9 Sk. So far I’ve got about 350 rounds down range. My friend shot it and was getting fist sized groups at ten yards. (It’s not the gun) At the same distance my groups looked like a shot gun pattern “lower left”. I’ve dry fired, bill drills, relaxed strong arm and squeezed the living s**t out of it as Vickers says. Even thought about seeing a witch doctor. Any ideas.... many thanks

Where are they posted?

BIGTIMELARRY "If I shoot off Reset I get Trigger Freeze sometimes.." BINGO. That's what happens to me as well. In shotgun shooting it's called flinching and sometimes can be hard to cure. When I practice tomorrow, I'm going to forget about all that "feel the reset" crap inside of 25 yards.
