Frequently Asked Questions

What is the key to hitting a target with a handgun?

The fundamental key to hitting a target with a handgun is ensuring the firearm does not move during the trigger press. This requires excellent trigger control and a stable grip to maintain sight alignment from the initial pull to the shot's release.

A common demonstration involves balancing a spent casing on the slide of your pistol. If you can execute a perfect trigger press without the casing falling, it indicates minimal firearm movement and excellent trigger control.

What firearm was used in the Polenar Tactical trigger control demonstration?

The firearm used in the demonstration was a Phoenix Redback, a 2011-style competition handgun chambered in 9mm, known for its potential for accuracy and stability.

Why is minimizing muzzle dip important for handgun accuracy?

Minimizing muzzle dip is crucial because any significant movement of the firearm's muzzle during the trigger press will cause the bullet to deviate from the intended point of aim, drastically reducing accuracy.
