This guide, presented by firearms instructor John G. Johnson, details how to eliminate muzzle flip for significantly improved pistol accuracy. It emphasizes the critical role of a proper grip, demonstrating both ineffective and effective techniques in slow motion. By focusing on hand placement, wrist position, and trigger control, shooters can achieve a more stable shooting platform, reduce muzzle rise, and achieve tighter shot groups. The guide also touches on the utility of dry-fire training aids like the HTS Dry-Fire Bullet Insert.
This video by John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, addresses a common accuracy issue: trigger finger drift. He explains that 99% of shooters tend to move their trigger finger deeper into the trigger guard with each shot, causing the firearm to move and reduce accuracy. The guide provides techniques to correct this by focusing on using the tip of the finger, pressing straight back, and maintaining a consistent gap on the trigger.
John Johnson, a firearms instructor from Cape Coral, Florida, identifies five common mistakes new shooters make that hinder accuracy: weak grip, improper stance, poor trigger press, chasing the target, and 'mag dump mentality.' He provides practical fixes for each, emphasizing a firm grip, stable stance, controlled trigger press, consistent sight alignment, and controlled shooting strings to build confidence and improve accuracy.
This video provides an in-depth, scientific breakdown of the perfect trigger press, emphasizing control and consistency. Instructor John G. Johnson details proper finger placement, smooth linear pressure, and the stages of a trigger pull (take-up, wall, break, reset). He stresses the importance of dry-firing and specific drills to identify and correct common manipulation errors that lead to inaccuracy. The content aims to help shooters develop a brain-body connection for a more precise shot.
This video provides fundamental pistol shooting instruction for new shooters, focusing on grip, trigger control, and stance. Instructor John Johnson guides a student, Sarah, through the process of shooting her new Smith & Wesson EZ pistol, emphasizing the importance of 'pressing' the trigger rather than 'pulling' it. The instruction highlights the ease of use of the EZ model for new shooters, particularly women, and promotes the 'try before you buy' approach to firearm acquisition.
Roy Huntington of American Handgunner Magazine explains the crucial difference in trigger press between double-action and single-action modes on semi-automatic pistols. He emphasizes using more finger and a slower, staged press for the initial double-action shot, followed by a smooth final press. After the slide cycles, the transition to single-action requires a careful, smooth press to maintain sight alignment until the hammer falls, likening the precision needed to not disturbing an 'imaginary dime' on the front sight.
