Joel Park, an expert instructor with competitive shooting experience, explains why a 'prep and press' trigger technique is problematic for DA/SA firearms and how it differs from striker-fired systems. He provides specific dry-fire drills to improve trigger control and eliminate sympathetic movement, emphasizing focusing on the firing hand and adjusting grip pressure. The advice is geared towards intermediate to advanced shooters looking to refine their technique.

This video provides a comprehensive overview of various handgun trigger types, explaining their mechanics and user experience. It covers single-action revolvers, double-action revolvers, the 1911's single-action trigger, double-action/single-action (DA/SA) hammer-fired pistols, striker-fired systems like Glock, and newer designs like the Daniel Defense H9. The discussion highlights differences in pull weight, travel, and safety mechanisms, emphasizing personal preference in trigger selection.

This video provides a comprehensive overview of various firearm trigger types, explaining their mechanics and common characteristics. It covers single-action, double-action, double-action/single-action (DA/SA), and striker-fired triggers, using examples like revolvers, 1911s, Glocks, and newer designs like the Daniel Defense H9. The discussion highlights the subjective nature of trigger preference and introduces concepts like trigger creep and safeties.

This video by Ben Stoeger focuses on improving trigger control and sight alignment through dry fire exercises. It emphasizes pressing the trigger with significantly more force than necessary during dry fire to simulate live-fire tension and prevent gun movement. The instruction also highlights the importance of focusing on the aiming point rather than the sights during the draw and shot process.

This video explores the nuances of handgun trigger types and weights for everyday carry (EDC). The speaker, TheYankeeMarshal, advocates for Double-Action/Single-Action (DA/SA) hammer-fired firearms due to their inherent safety features, particularly the heavier initial DA pull. He suggests ideal trigger weights for DA/SA pistols are around 8-10 lbs for the double-action pull and 3-5 lbs for the single-action pull. For striker-fired or DAO triggers, he finds 8-10 lbs acceptable for carry, emphasizing that trigger smoothness and user familiarity are crucial, especially under stress.

This video discusses aftermarket triggers for firearms, specifically focusing on striker-fired platforms. The speaker highlights the Elfman trigger as the best AR trigger available, preferring single-stage designs for their simplicity and effectiveness. While acknowledging older Gley triggers, the speaker notes that newer brands like TriggerTech offer superior performance, particularly in terms of short travel, crisp break, and exceptionally short reset, surpassing stock triggers from Glock, M&P, and Sig Sauer.

This review of the HK SFP9L highlights its striker-fired mechanism, polymer frame, and steel slide. The reviewer notes HK's signature rigid and lightweight polymer frames, which can result in a 'drier' reaction. Ergonomic customization options like interchangeable backstraps and side panels are discussed, alongside the unique silicone gasket for barrel lockup. The trigger is described as having an initially complex mechanical setup that can be significantly improved with minor modifications for a crisp break and consistent reset.

This review compares the Johnny Glocks 4311 trigger to the Johnny Glocks Combat trigger, highlighting their distinct pull profiles. The 4311 aims to mimic a 1911/2011 trigger with more take-up for safety and a crisp break, while the Combat trigger offers a smoother, more traditional Glock-like rolling break with less take-up. Both are considered top-tier upgrades for Slimline Glocks, with the choice depending on shooter preference.

This guide details the essential technique of dry fire practice at home, emphasizing its importance for building firearm familiarity and improving marksmanship. Instruction from a professional firearms dealer highlights how to properly execute dry fire, focusing on understanding and mastering trigger control. Key takeaways include identifying trigger stages like take-up and wall, and the necessity of consistent practice with your own firearm.

This comprehensive review by Honest Outlaw compares the Beretta M9A4 and Sig Sauer M17/M18 pistols. The analysis highlights key differences in action type (DA/SA vs. Striker-fired), materials (aluminum vs. polymer frame), trigger performance, weight, recoil mitigation, and durability. The M9A4 is favored for its superior trigger and recoil control, while the M17/M18 excels in modularity and value.

This guide details a DIY trigger job for the Arex Delta pistol, focusing on smoothing internal contact points to reduce grittiness and improve the trigger break. The process involves careful disassembly, polishing key surfaces on the trigger bar, slide release, striker, and striker safety block, and reassembly. While dry firing is recommended for initial improvement, this guide offers a more in-depth approach for owners seeking a refined trigger feel without altering the firearm's geometry.

The Yankee Marshal discusses the trend of micro-compact handguns, arguing they are not stupid but rather a positive development that encourages more people to carry firearms. He highlights models like the Sig Sauer P365, Springfield Hellcat, and Kimber R7 Mako for their increased capacity and concealability. The speaker also praises Car pistols for their quality triggers and concealability but notes they are falling behind in the market due to a lack of double-stack magazine options. Finally, he reviews the EAA Windicator as an affordable and capable alternative for concealed carry.
