The one thing I hate about triggers

This video, featuring Ben Stoeger, explains the concept of 'input' in firearm shooting, which refers to the physical forces applied to the gun to counteract recoil and return it to the target. Stoeger clarifies that input is distinct from grip, though related, and is often a subconscious process that can be difficult to articulate. He demonstrates how different firearms, ammunition, and even trigger manipulation can affect the required input, emphasizing that excessive or unintended input often leads to accuracy issues.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, debunks common accuracy myths, emphasizing the critical difference between a trigger 'pull' and a trigger 'press.' He explains that a 'pull' is a conscious, known action, while a 'press' is an unknown, surprising break that leads to better accuracy. The video details how to practice this technique through dry firing, focusing on consistent pressure and allowing the shot to surprise the shooter, which is crucial for improving marksmanship.

This video by Ben Stoeger delves into the concept of 'input' in firearm manipulation, defining it as the physical action to return the gun to the point of aim after recoil. Stoeger emphasizes minimizing unnecessary input, maintaining a consistent grip, and practicing controlled trigger pulls to avoid pushing shots low. He also discusses trigger reset, wrist tension, and visual focus techniques for improving accuracy and speed in shooting.

This video provides insights into the Gen 6 Glock, focusing on optic mounting challenges and the impact of backstraps on grip and trigger reach. It also offers detailed advice for improving pistol shooting accuracy and speed, emphasizing self-diagnosis during training and the benefits of longer shooting strings for identifying errors.

This video provides a technique to improve trigger control for enhanced shooting accuracy. It emphasizes focusing on consistent, rearward pressure on the trigger, allowing the shot to break naturally, and practicing slow, deliberate shots to train the brain on proper trigger manipulation. The instructor highlights that the amount of finger on the trigger is less critical than the quality of pressure applied.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, details the critical importance of a proper trigger press for accuracy. He emphasizes understanding each phase of the trigger pull, from initial contact to the final break, and how rushing or flinching sabotages accuracy. The guide covers establishing a solid grip, a smooth trigger application, and the benefits of dry-fire practice for developing muscle memory and consistency. This instruction is aimed at helping shooters of all levels improve their fundamental shooting skills.

This video demonstrates a critical malfunction where the magazine drops during recoil, a common issue in competitive shooting. Ben Stoeger, a professional competitive shooter, highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing such failures. The guide provides steps to troubleshoot this specific problem, emphasizing safety and proper firearm handling.

This video demonstrates a critical safety incident: an uncommanded discharge of a Sig Sauer P320 during the re-holstering process. Expert analysis from Ben Stoeger highlights the visual evidence of the discharge originating from the holster, emphasizing the importance of constant vigilance and proper technique even when the firearm is supposedly "safe" in its holster. The incident underscores the need for thorough firearm inspection and immediate post-incident assessment.

Ben Stoeger, a professional shooting instructor, explains common misconceptions about red dot sights. He emphasizes that true proficiency comes from focusing on the target, not the dot itself. The guide details training methods, like occluding the optic, to develop this crucial skill, comparing it to the lifelong refinement needed for trigger control.

This comprehensive dry fire program, led by World Champion shooter Ben Stoeger, focuses on refining fundamental handgun skills. It includes a structured warm-up, detailed drills for draw stroke mechanics, efficient reloads (including strong and weak hand only), and positional shooting from kneeling. The program emphasizes precision and control, progressing to dynamic movements and transitions essential for competitive shooting.
