Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary benefit of prepping the safety selector and trigger simultaneously?

The primary benefit is increased speed and efficiency in engaging the target. By synchronizing the disengagement of the safety with the trigger press, you reduce the time between deciding to fire and the shot breaking, while also maintaining control.

How much force should be applied when prepping the safety selector?

The technique involves applying about 3-4 pounds of spring tension on the safety selector. This pre-tension ensures that the safety drops instantly the moment it's needed, synchronized perfectly with your trigger finger's movement.

What cognitive advantage does this safety selector technique offer?

This method provides a crucial cognitive benefit by allowing the shooter a final moment of self-control. It offers one last opportunity to confirm the sight picture and ensure the target is correct before committing to the shot.

Why are non-ambidextrous safeties preferred for this technique?

Non-ambidextrous safeties are often preferred because they help maintain a consistent indexed position for the trigger finger. This allows for a cleaner, more direct manipulation of the safety without disrupting the finger's placement on the trigger guard or receiver.
