Not-So-Mad Matt Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 As far as trigger control the best thing that I have found that help me is to shoot a "double action" type gun. I'm beginning to think we should all start out with a double-action .22 revolver with a dot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Gaines Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Been along time since I posted on my food for thought post, and I figured I would add this one. Since I gave this advice to a customer/shooter getting into single stack division.... Magazine Grip Angle for Reloads "I'll give you a little nugget when it comes to single stack division, that no one ever talks about, is getting the perfect single stack basepad. Depending on what platform you shot before, should be the type of basepad you should get. For example if you are used to shooting and mag changes with a glock, I would advise going with a Dawson basepad (since they are angled). If you are used to shooting STI in limited or open, 3gun etc, then you need to go with a straight pad instead of angled. Everybody talks about the grip angle on the gun, and how it effects their shooting. no one talks about the grip angle of the magazine while you are inserting it into the gun. Then they wonder why they bobble reloads.. take your magazine that you are used to doing mag changes with and put it on your bench basepad down and make it stand up, and take the single stack magazine with the basepad you plan on using, and see it the magazines when stood up has the same angle or not, you want them to be exactly or pretty darn close. this just helps in the transition from going from one platform to the next..."

Amerflyer48 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) INTERESTING THOUGHT: So if you were to cut and paste the words of wisdom Sean has freely given us less the "bunny hop" videos ( and the contribution from CSEMARTIN ) it ends up as: 28 pages Roughly 22,600 Words And in my notebook on my library shelf along with my range notes, ENOS/Yur 'Yev, Anderson/Bassham, Stoeger,Plaxco books, and a 1983 USAMU manual. Thank You Sean and CSE , for putting into words what I fail to convey to newer shooters and remind myself sometimes. I am off to remove the squiggly lines, VigiLink blue writing and use a hi lighter, on my printout... depending on final file size I can post it here as my contribution to helping out Food for Thought.docx Edited May 27, 2019 by Amerflyer48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFargo Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Cool! Thanks for that! I've immediately saved it to my drive. I find it valuable to read through this thread from time to time to 'remind' me and get my head on straight. It's nice to have this slimmed down version of it.

Amerflyer48 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Glad to help out Was going to PDF it but figured a Word Doc would be easier to add to in future or edit for individual notes etc. and I’m not the most tech savvy LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
