Don’t move the gun when you press

Instruction from Joel Park focuses on diagnosing and correcting common shooting errors like low-left shots, which often stem from improper trigger control and grip tension. The core principle is to accurately simulate live-fire issues during dry practice, allowing for targeted habit correction. By pushing training to a slightly uncomfortable pace where mistakes occur, shooters can identify specific problems and develop the necessary skills for improved accuracy under pressure.

This video by firearms instructor John G. Johnson introduces the White Paper Drill, a method designed to rapidly build both shooting accuracy and confidence. The drill emphasizes controlled single shots with pauses, focusing on the principle that confidence in aim point directly correlates to bullet impact. It incorporates dry-fire practice with specialized inserts and concludes with live-fire demonstrations, offering practical advice on grip, stance, and sight alignment. The instructor highlights the importance of proper body mechanics and consistent weapon presentation.

This expert guide, presented by a police firearms instructor, emphasizes the paramount importance of trigger pull for shooting success. It highlights that mastering trigger control is more critical than stance or sight picture for achieving accuracy. The instruction stresses that a good trigger pull is fundamental, and neglecting it will result in consistent misses, regardless of other shooting fundamentals.

This guide details how to improve trigger control using the HTS Dry-Fire Bullet Insert, as demonstrated by firearms instructor John G. Johnson. The insert allows for uninterrupted dry-fire practice by preventing slide lock, enabling a full trigger press simulation. The recommended training involves a combination of dry-fire and live-fire drills, emphasizing a high volume of trigger pulls to build muscle memory and refine technique. Instructor John G. Johnson, an expert in firearms training, offers this method to help shooters fix common trigger control issues.

This training drill, led by instructor John G. Johnson, demonstrates how to significantly improve live fire accuracy through focused dry fire practice using the HTS Dry-Fire Bullet Insert. The method emphasizes identifying and correcting bad trigger pull habits by visualizing sight movement during intentional 'bad' pulls, followed by consistent, slow trigger presses. The drill culminates in live fire, showing a tight group resulting from the effective dry fire preparation.

Expert instructor Joel Park breaks down common shooting problems like doubles, pairs, and target transitions. He emphasizes separating vision-based transition issues from grip-and-trigger mechanics for doubles. Park details dry-fire and live-fire drills, including the MXAD drill, to improve accuracy and speed by focusing on target acquisition and controlled sight movement.

This video demonstrates an advanced self-defense technique for surviving an armed robbery. The expert instructor highlights the importance of de-escalation and compliance as a distraction, followed by a rapid defensive counter-draw from a concealed appendix (AIWB) position. The simulation showcases neutralizing a threat at close range using a concealed firearm, likely in a Glock platform, emphasizing the effectiveness of a well-executed draw from a high-retention holster like those from Tenicor.

New concealed carriers often make critical mistakes like choosing inadequate holsters or belts, wearing inappropriate clothing, opting for guns that are too small, and carrying with an empty chamber. Selecting a secure, comfortable holster and a supportive belt are crucial. Clothing should allow for a smooth draw without printing. Prioritizing shootability and capacity over extreme concealability is key, and carrying with a round in the chamber, once training allows, enhances readiness.

This video debunks the myth that appendix carry is inherently unsafe, drawing on 25 years of personal experience. It emphasizes proper technique, particularly during reholstering, and highlights the benefits of appendix carry like accessibility and concealability. The presenter details safe reholstering methods, including using a muzzle wedge and body tilt, and discusses the importance of a strong safety mindset over rote rules.

This video emphasizes the critical importance of the four universal firearms handling rules, stating they are 'written in blood' and not suggestions. It details each rule: always treat guns as loaded, never point at anything you're not willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until sights are on target, and be sure of your target and what's beyond it. The content also distinguishes universal rules from range-specific protocols and introduces gun states (secure, ready, on target).
