Frequently Asked Questions

What is the proper trigger control technique for a double-action pistol?

For a double-action pistol, establish a good grip, then smoothly pull the trigger with a continuous motion as you present the firearm. After the shot, utilize the trigger reset for subsequent shots by taking up the slack until you feel the reset point.

How do you safely decock a double-action pistol?

To safely decock a double-action pistol, ensure the area is clear. If your firearm has a decocker lever, engage it (often a forward lever) to lower the hammer without firing the weapon before reholstering.

What is the importance of trigger reset in double-action shooting?

Trigger reset is crucial for efficient follow-up shots. After the initial double-action pull, the trigger resets with less travel. Learning to find and utilize this reset point allows for faster and more accurate subsequent shots.

What safety precautions should be taken before reholstering a pistol?

Before reholstering any firearm, it's vital to perform a thorough check of your surroundings to ensure there are no immediate threats. If applicable, safely decock the pistol before returning it to the holster.
