Gun Training in the Double-Action Mode: Into the Fray Episode 137

John G. Johnson outlines the 'Five Layers of Accuracy' for pistol shooting: Foundation (stance), Control (grip), Visual (sight alignment/focus), Mechanical (trigger control), and Discipline (follow-through). He emphasizes a stable, athletic stance, a high and firm grip initiated by the pinky, front sight focus with a 6 o'clock hold, a smooth trigger press, and maintaining sight picture through the shot and until the firearm is made safe. The instruction aims to build consistent hits and defensive accuracy.

This guide, drawing from an experienced instructor on GUNS and American Handgunner Magazines, details the critical aspects of a smooth trigger press. It emphasizes understanding the take-up, the "smooth wall" before sear release, and the "moment of truth" for accurate shooting. The technique applies to both double-action and single-action firearms, stressing the importance of a calm, deliberate final press and follow-through.

John Lovell of Warrior Poet Society details the critical trigger prepping technique for striker-fired firearms.

Proper trigger prepping is essential for consistent shot placement and effective firearm handling.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor from Cape Coral, Florida, emphasizes that handgun accuracy is primarily a mental and systemic issue, not just a trigger pull problem.
