ErikW Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 When I feel the slack, the break, and the reset in the trigger, I shoot very accurately, especially on steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Yah, Erik, I agree with that, especially with a Glock. It's just a matter of knowing when (and being able) to turn it on and turn it off. A couple of weeks ago I shot a 27 round field course that ended with a plate rack at about 15 yds. I felt what you mentioned above and went shot for shot.....that was cool. BTW, I like the p/g references....... Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted June 10, 2004 Author Share Posted June 10, 2004 When I shoot a nice 1911 trigger I tend to ingore the "feel" that is so important with a Glock trigger and just pull through the travel. If I shoot it more like I shoot a Glock trigger, good things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 ...maybe it wasn't a Rush reference, maybe you and Neil were referencing the same thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 That was the #1 thing that Garcia emphasized when I took his class, feeling the trigger break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Maybe we need a mantra along the lines of "feel what you need to feel" to go with "see what you need to see." The harder the shot, the more "in tune" you need to be with the trigger. Shooting groups and pinning the trigger back until you see the front sight again is a good way to learn that feel too.

eric nielsen Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 When I asked him - "why are you now kicking my ass so consistently?" - SmittyFL told me the same thing about Frank Garcia's class. Feel the take-up well before the shot breaks. Between targets, even. Been working on that ever since... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I'm learning to feel the sear slide across the hook in the hammer. It makes a huge difference in my ability to hit and call my shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Mink Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I'm at the other end of the spectrum. I'm a slapper, but I must be pretty consistant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 I was checking out a new SV with almost no reset. "I'll never be able to shoot this gun fast," I told its owner. "I need to feel the spring push the trigger back into my finger so I can ride it and shoot fast splits." Then I proceeded to bang out a whole bunch of .12 splits on the gun. I guess I'm a slapper, not a rider, at short range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I guess I'm a slapper, not a rider, at short range. You know funny! Shooting a revolver, feeling the trigger occupied pretty much all my attention. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
