The analysis highlights the widespread use of the P320 platform and the ongoing questions surrounding its safety and serviceability.

This video by John G. Johnson introduces the '10-Cent Trigger Drill,' a simple yet effective dry-fire exercise designed to identify and correct trigger manipulation, flinching, and anticipation. By placing a dime on the firearm and executing a slow trigger press, shooters can visually detect unwanted movements that lead to inaccuracy. The drill emphasizes the importance of a controlled trigger pull over sight alignment as the primary cause of missed shots.

This video debunks the myth of guns 'just going off,' emphasizing that firearms require user action, typically trigger manipulation, to discharge. The speaker uses the Alec Baldwin incident as an example to illustrate that even seemingly accidental discharges often stem from user error or improper handling, particularly with single-action revolvers.

This guide details the bump firing technique as demonstrated by Civilian Tactical Host, focusing on achieving a high rate of fire with a semi-automatic rifle. The host, an experienced shooter, emphasizes proper finger placement and the crucial role of the support hand in pushing the rifle forward to cycle the trigger. The guide also highlights essential safety considerations, including managing extreme heat generated by rapid firing and the inherent inaccuracy of the technique.

This video emphasizes that the precise placement of the trigger finger on the pad is less critical than how that placement affects trigger manipulation and sight disturbance. The instructor advises practicing different finger positions while observing the sights to find the placement that minimizes movement, suggesting that a position closer to the crease of the hand often works better for many shooters. Hand size and mechanical leverage are noted as factors influencing optimal placement.
