Videos from Firearms Training By John G. Johnson
Instruction from John G. Johnson emphasizes the critical importance of maintaining a level pistol throughout the shot for accuracy. Proper technique involves focusing on the sight system, ensuring the front post rises and returns consistently during recoil, and driving the pistol vertically using core muscles. This expert guidance is crucial for improving shot placement and overall shooting proficiency.
This video from John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, addresses the common issue of improper trigger pull affecting 99% of shooters. He demonstrates the critical difference between a trigger 'pull' and a trigger 'press,' emphasizing that a smooth, controlled press is essential for accuracy, even more so than grip or sight alignment. The guide includes dry-fire drills using the HTS Dry-Fire Bullet Insert and live-fire examples to illustrate how a proper trigger press leads to tighter shot groups.
This video, presented by John G. Johnson of Firearms Training, emphasizes the critical role of a proper pistol grip in achieving shooting accuracy. Johnson states that a vast majority of shooters grip their pistols incorrectly, leading to inconsistent front sight movement and reduced accuracy. The core principle highlighted is the importance of managing the two main points of contact on the firearm for effective control and consistent shot placement.
This video, presented by John the Firearms Instructor, demonstrates why 99% of shooters aim incorrectly and introduces the 6 o'clock hold as a superior method for pistol accuracy. The instructor emphasizes front sight focus and contrasts the 6 o'clock hold with a center hold, showing through live fire demonstration how the former yields tighter, more consistent groups. The guide provides actionable steps for implementing this technique to improve shooting performance.
Firearms instructor John G. Johnson introduces and demonstrates the 'pinky grip,' a technique where the pinky is placed first on the firearm to achieve a tighter hold. This method is shown to significantly reduce muzzle flip and improve shooting accuracy compared to a standard grip. The instructor emphasizes the pinky's crucial role in overall firearm control.
This expert-level guide, presented by Firearms Training By John G. Johnson, details how to diagnose shooting errors by analyzing bullet impact points on a target. High impacts are attributed to improper sight picture (aiming center instead of 6 o'clock hold), while left impacts for right-handed shooters often stem from an underpowered grip with the support hand or 'nose over gun' technique. Corrective actions include adopting a 6 o'clock hold, a 60/40 grip distribution, and focusing on a proper trigger press.
John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, introduces a new 'Ready-to-Carry' package in Florida that combines basic pistol training with concealed carry documentation. This comprehensive offering emphasizes practical skills like grip, stance, and trigger control over purely theoretical or online courses. Classes are limited to 10 students and held weekly, aiming to make participants 'your first line of defense'.
This video, presented by John G. Johnson of Firearms Training, emphasizes the critical difference between bullseye accuracy and defensive shooting. Johnson introduces a drill focused on the 'vital triangle,' a key area for effective self-defense, stressing that aiming for this zone is more crucial than precise bullseye hits in real-world scenarios. The instruction highlights the importance of consistent training to maintain accuracy as target distance increases.
This defensive accuracy drill, presented by John G. Johnson, challenges shooters to achieve 80% accuracy over 15 rounds at varying distances (7, 5, and 3 yards). The drill emphasizes identifying and correcting manipulation errors such as trigger pull, jerking, and sight system issues, distinguishing it from bullseye precision shooting. Johnson, an expert instructor, offers further training resources to help shooters master these fundamentals.
This guide details how to use the HTS Dry-Fire Bullet Insert for enhanced dry fire training. The insert facilitates proper grip and aids in developing a smooth, controlled trigger press by preventing slide lock. Consistent practice with this tool can significantly improve weapon control and overall shooting accuracy, as demonstrated by an experienced firearms instructor.
