This review of the Taurus 856 Executive Grade highlights both its potential and significant flaws. While the trigger is praised for its smoothness and stageability, and the gun exhibits tight tolerances, critical issues like grip interference with ejection and a catastrophic yoke screw failure under 500 rounds render it unsuitable for self-defense. The video features expert analysis from Jon Patton, a seasoned reviewer, detailing these problems.

This first look at the Taurus 856 Executive Grade revolver highlights its suitability for concealed carry with a nicer package. Key features include a 3-inch stainless steel barrel, bobbed hammer for snag-free drawing, and a double-action-only trigger with a distinct staging point. The reviewer found it a pleasant change of pace from semi-automatics and a good value under $700 MSRP.

This guide, drawing on the expertise of Roy Huntington, a recognized firearms editor, details how to achieve surprising accuracy with compact revolvers. The core principle is mastering trigger manipulation, specifically 'staging' the double-action pull to minimize muzzle jump and maximize stability. It emphasizes that proper technique, rather than just firearm size, is the key to tight groupings from snub-nosed revolvers.

This video explains the concept of 'staging' a revolver trigger, a technique used to achieve a lighter, single-action-like pull without manually cocking the hammer. It involves pulling the trigger to the point where the cylinder rotates and the hammer is cocked but not released, allowing for a more precise shot. The instructor emphasizes that staging is primarily for range practice and accuracy, not recommended for self-defense scenarios where a full double-action pull or manual hammer cocking is preferred.

This video, 'Back to the Basics Vol. 2 - Trigger' from Top Guns featuring Eric from Legacy Training Group, focuses on the critical technique of 'staging' or 'taking up the slack' in a handgun trigger. The instruction emphasizes that by pre-engaging the trigger to the point of resistance before the actual shot break, shooters can significantly reduce front sight movement, leading to improved accuracy. A practical dry-fire drill using an empty brass casing on the front sight is demonstrated to help users identify and correct improper trigger manipulation.

This video from Top Guns, featuring Jackie and Eric from Legacy Training Group, demonstrates the technique of 'staging' a firearm trigger. Staging involves bringing the trigger back to the wall of resistance before the final press, which is presented as a method to improve shot accuracy and reduce error. Mastering this technique is highlighted as crucial for dramatically improving shooting groups.

This guide, drawing from hickok45's expert review, details techniques for carrying and shooting the Kimber K6s. It emphasizes pocket carry with specific holsters and advanced trigger staging for precision. The review highlights the K6s's manageable recoil with .357 Magnum loads due to its weight and grip, and its remarkably thin cylinder profile for a 6-shot revolver.

This guide details the trigger staging technique for the Sig Sauer P250, as demonstrated by firearms instructor Nutnfancy. The technique involves pre-staging the DAO trigger to a near-break point, allowing for sight alignment refinement before the final, smooth pull. This method significantly improves accuracy for new shooters struggling with the P250's trigger characteristics.

This video features a "Sledgehammer" event hosted by Nutnfancy, showcasing the KelTec RFB 18" rifle. The participants, including Chad from KelTec, engage in various shooting drills, discussing the RFB's reliability, compact size for a .308 battle rifle, and ergonomics. They also touch on trigger staging for accuracy and compare it to other bullpup designs. The event highlights practical shooting scenarios and the challenges of physical exertion during shooting.

This guide details the 'Trench Warfare' Pistol Drill as performed by Nutnfancy using a Ruger LCR #5401. It emphasizes rapid engagement of multiple steel targets, efficient speed reloads, and shooting through barricades. The evaluation highlights the LCR's trigger and ergonomics, with a note on Hogue grips potentially snagging clothing for concealed carry. Instruction comes from an experienced shooter demonstrating practical skills.

Nutnfancy, an established firearms reviewer, details a practical trigger technique for the Kel-Tec PF-9's Double Action Only (DAO) trigger. He advises a 'staging' method to manage the long, stiff pull, emphasizing its role as an inherent safety feature beneficial for concealed carry. This technique aims to improve accuracy by focusing on the final stage of the pull.
