This video discusses the compatibility of an older Performance Center Plus ported slide with the new Smith & Wesson Shield X. The speaker notes that the slide appears to be compatible and that the Shield X's grip texture, while described as mild, feels adequate. A potential issue with dry fire trigger engagement is highlighted, where the trigger may not consistently engage the safety bar unless a lower press is used. The speaker anticipates a future Performance Center version of the Shield X and confirms holster compatibility.

This video details a method for replicating 'sear perching' in a SIG P320 to investigate potential safety concerns. The technique involves applying controlled pressure to the trigger past the initial take-up and then manipulating the slide to see if the striker can be released. The discussion emphasizes the importance of using inert ammunition for such tests and explores various factors contributing to potential firearm malfunctions, including manufacturing tolerances and maintenance.

This drill focuses on optimizing the pistol draw stroke by integrating trigger engagement early. The instruction emphasizes bringing the hands together and pre-engaging the trigger to 80% by the time of full arm extension, aiming to reduce overall time to fire by eliminating a separate sight alignment and trigger pull phase after the gun is out.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor from Cape Coral, Florida, provides a foundational overview of revolvers. He explains the different types (hammerless, hammer, shrouded hammer) and firing mechanisms (single-action, double-action, double-action only). The video emphasizes proper grip techniques to avoid gas burns from the cylinder gap and demonstrates loading, unloading, and basic aiming principles, including sight alignment. It also touches on caliber choices and the advantages of revolvers for specific situations like shooting through clothing.

This video explains how to interpret bullet impacts on a target to diagnose shooting issues. Instructor John Johnson emphasizes understanding the six o'clock hold principle, where the barrel is typically below the sights, causing shots to impact high if aiming directly at the center. He also discusses how trigger engagement can cause lateral dispersion and advises on proper grip and trigger control for improved accuracy.

John Johnson, a firearms instructor from Cape Coral, Florida, reviews the Mantis X3 dry fire system. He demonstrates its setup, including attaching the unit to a Taurus G2C, selecting the firearm and caliber in the app, and configuring sensor placement. The review highlights the app's 'Open Training' mode, shot analysis features that identify issues like pushing the gun or improper finger placement, and the system's ability to provide feedback for improving trigger engagement and overall accuracy during dry practice.

This SHOT Show 2015 coverage from Iraqveteran8888 highlights new Geissele and ALG Defense products, focusing on their innovative trigger systems. The expert instructor details advancements in AK, Tavor, SCAR, and AR-15 triggers, explaining the critical differences in trigger engagement types (positive, neutral, negative) and their impact on safety and performance. The review emphasizes the precision engineering and materials used in Geissele's flagship SSA trigger.
