trigger finger

[treefarmer]

Hey Guys Without actually using the gun, i would be frowned upon if i took my pistol to work, what is the best way to "condition" your finger for all that heavy double action trigger pull? Thanks TF

they make those grip masters that work an individual finger, i think academy sells them but I know Dawson's Precision does.

I went to a mountain climbing store that sells the grip strengtheners and I bought the extra heavy one. It did wonders.

Is dry fire at home not an option? That'd be your best choice.

I use one of those weight lifting grip things. Just a few minutes each had back and forth to work - even weak enough to use just the trigger finger. Have also used a racketball in the past.

Yes that is a good option, but i wanted a little extra to go along with it.

Go to Ironmind.com and look at the IMTUG finger exercise gripper as well as the Captains of Crush grippers.

If you want to work on speed, too, work the head of a ball pen as fast as you can, for a few seconds at a time.

Oh, and put on a face as if you're thinking about something work related...

I just use the regular V shaped hand squeeze thingy three different ways. Middle part up to work the lower two fingers, upside down to work the top two fingers, and then trigger finger only for an extra workout. Remember to work both hands and get to at least 40 since stages can be 32 rounds.

I work on ships and have the same problem of how to keep the hand strength up away from the gun. I took a gripmaster white which is extra heavy. I would work it for five to ten minutes every hour one minute on one minute off. My goal was to see how many squeezes I could get in a minute. I would just carry it around everywhere in my pocket and use it during spare time much like other people smoked cigarettes. I did try to ensure complete crush and release to ward off the evil short stroke. I believe it has improved my speed shot to shot. I find it does have a limitation in the it doesn't build the extension muscles of the fingers which Jerry Miculek says the speed is really hidden. YMMV.
