Flexmoney Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 DRILL 1: Ensure that your gun is clear and that there is NO AMMO in the room that you are in. Balance a dime on your front sight, dry-fire your gun. Do this until you can complete 10 dry-fires in a row without the dime falling off. Come back when complete. Post here for the next drill.

Michael Brown Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 I just can't do it. Maybe if I work on it for a few months..... Michael Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Its tough, focus on keeping the coin still, make the trigger pull secondary. Watch the coin intensely, start to pull the trigger, but more as incidental to keeping the coin balanced. If it starts to wobble, back off, but don't let off, and begin to take up the slack once it stabalizes. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 FLEX, How do you have to cock the hammer with the dime on there? I'll just try it with my revolver. Bill Nesbitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Brown Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Do I watch the head or the tail on the coin? I seem to do better staring intensely at the head. Michael Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 OH MAN. Do you have to stand the dime on edge???? I was going to lay it flat on the sight. Maybe I won't be able to do it after all. Bill Nesbitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Brown Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 I filed the edge of the coin a little to make it flatter and easier to keep on the front sight. This seems to work pretty well. Flex, if I can keep the filed coin on the sight do you think I should move to the next drill? Michael Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talon Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 I have read about this before but thought it was too easy till I actually tried it. I've got as high as 5 in a row before it falls off. It seems to be caused by the impact of the striker (or am I looking for an excuse ? ) Stock Glock 17 I start at a "ready positon", raise and extend, acquire the target and press". In only falls off (1 out of 5 usually) when the gun goes klunk *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

38supPat Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Now try strong/weak hand only Bill: you gotta do it DA only...no cheating by cocking hammer Talon: Glocks are hard because of the striker...followthrough is a must. For S&G's try it with something really tough...like a J-frame model 36 or 640 DA only or any really lightwieght gun. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2alpha Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 I couldn't do it until I got a Limcat holster, my old Safariland kept knocking the dime off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Here's my results. S&W Model 10 round butt 3 inch with a post front sight. Trigger is 8# and smooth. Put dime on front sight & extend pistol in normal shooting grip. First time 10 straight & stopped. Then 27 straight, then 26 straight. I just keep the gun out and keep dry firing until the dime falls off. Tried it with a Taurus model 85 snubby. I put the dime on top of the frame because of the slanted front sight. I could keep it on for about 5 before the heavy hammer fall bounced it off. I DID NOT use super glue. Bill Nesbitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted March 23, 2002 Author Share Posted March 23, 2002 filing?? super-glue?? What a bunch of gamers. (I use duct tape.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Thompson Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 This drill works the best with a Beretta's open barrel. I started with a penny and then moved up to a dime. It reall helped smooth my trigger pull but: 1. I only did it DA only so my DA shots got a lot better but my SA shots still were going high right which is the reason I started to do the drill in the first place. SO do SA pulls also. 2. I got so focused on just keeping the penny on the gun that I lost transference to the trigger pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane Thomas Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Well I could do the 10-in-a-row freestyle, strong hand only and weak hand only, no problem, the first time I tried it, balancing the dime on the Wilson's front sight. Now it's on to the accuracy drill. I'll be back.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
