This guide details how to use the HTS Dry-Fire Bullet Insert to improve handgun accuracy by refining trigger control. The insert aids in achieving a proper grip, controlling the weapon, and executing a slow, deliberate trigger press. By practicing with the insert, shooters can better understand trigger travel and identify issues like 'bobbling' during the press, leading to more consistent shot placement. Instruction is provided by John G. Johnson, an experienced firearms instructor.

This video discusses why extremely light triggers with minimal travel are not suitable for duty firearms, despite potential competitive advantages. Instructor Ben Stoeger emphasizes safety and liability concerns when equipping multiple individuals with such triggers, contrasting them with more forgiving duty-oriented trigger setups.

This video explores the safety of carrying a cocked revolver versus a SIG P320, focusing on trigger weight and travel as key indicators for negligent discharge potential. The instructor, TheYankeeMarshal, conducts a comparative analysis using trigger pull gauges and visual estimation of travel. The findings suggest that while the P320's trigger is often heavier, the significantly shorter trigger travel on cocked revolvers makes them more susceptible to accidental firing in certain scenarios.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor with extensive experience, explains why most gun owners plateau and how to overcome it. He emphasizes the importance of structured training, deliberate practice, and understanding fundamental shooting mechanics like trigger control and weapon manipulation. Key takeaways include focusing on quality over quantity of shots, analyzing performance through target marking, and the benefits of dry firing and consistent practice.

This video delves into the crucial concept of trigger travel and its direct impact on shooting accuracy. It explains what trigger travel is, why it's a vital factor for shooters, and how mastering this element can significantly elevate precision. The content is specifically geared towards new shooters seeking to establish a strong fundamental understanding of marksmanship.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, details ten key principles for developing a proper trigger press to enhance shooting accuracy and control. He emphasizes the distinction between a deliberate 'press' and an aggressive 'pull,' highlighting the importance of consistent finger placement, pressure management, and follow-through. The guide also stresses the value of dry fire practice and seeking professional instruction to refine these critical shooting skills.

This video focuses on understanding and evaluating AR-15 triggers, explaining how to "grade" them by analyzing key functional aspects. It breaks down trigger take-up, travel, creep, pull weight, break, over-travel, and reset. The content aims to help viewers make informed decisions about AR-15 triggers, moving beyond subjective opinions to a more objective understanding of their performance. It highlights how optimizing these trigger functions can lead to significant improvements for AR-15 shooters, differentiating between standard MilSpec triggers and enhanced aftermarket options. The video also promotes AT3 Tactical products and other related AR-15 and AR-10 content.

This video details common trigger modifications for defensive pistols, focusing on improving feel, reducing pull weight, and shortening travel for enhanced accuracy. It highlights aftermarket triggers like Apex for the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield and factory-tuned adjustments for the Sig Sauer P229, explaining how these changes benefit shooters by reducing firearm disruption during the trigger press. The instructor emphasizes that while factory triggers are functional, personal preference and shooting capabilities often drive these upgrades, which can also have safety implications for users with less hand strength.

The host compares car triggers to double/single-action pistol triggers, stating car triggers are significantly better than Glock triggers. He describes car triggers as smoother, cleaner, and having a better break, while Glock triggers are characterized as clunky, plasticky, mushy, and awful. This assessment is based on subjective experience and objective comparison of trigger feel and performance.

This video provides a close-up examination of the Kahr Arms Gen 2 handgun trigger. The presenter highlights its key features, including a safety notch and a significantly shorter trigger travel (30% reduction). He expresses eagerness to test a Gen 2 model live at the range. The description also includes links to various YouTube playlists covering handgun reviews, rifle and shotgun reviews, Second Amendment content, gear and accessory reviews, and range tests, as well as social media links.
