The Relationship between Aiming and Trigger Control with Brian Zins

This video details the 'Grid Drill,' a handgun training exercise designed to improve accuracy, trigger control, sight alignment, and transitions. The drill involves shooting at numbered targets called out by an assistant, requiring shooters to quickly acquire and engage specific points on a small target. Instructor John G. Johnson emphasizes the importance of a clean trigger press and proper body mechanics for transitions, offering this drill as a more engaging alternative to standard target practice.

This video by firearms instructor John G. Johnson emphasizes the critical importance of 'front sight focus' for new shooters struggling with pistol accuracy. He explains that the human eye cannot simultaneously focus on the front sight, rear sight, and target, leading to inconsistent groups when attempting 'target focus'. By concentrating solely on a clear front sight and aligning it at the 6 o'clock position on the target, shooters can achieve tighter groups and greater consistency.

This video demonstrates a technique for improving trigger control to achieve tighter shot groups. The instructor emphasizes using the tip of the finger for a precise trigger press and maintaining focus on the sight system throughout the shot. Proper trigger manipulation is shown to enhance pistol control and lead to more accurate shooting.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, emphasizes the critical importance of 'follow-through' in shooting accuracy. He explains that many shooters ruin their shots by lifting their head or dropping their arms immediately after firing to see the impact. This fundamental technique involves maintaining sight alignment and keeping the pistol level after the shot breaks, preventing inconsistency and low impacts. Practicing drills like the 'pause drill' can help develop this essential skill.

This video discusses the functional and comfort improvements of the Gen 6 Glock 17's trigger shoe. The hooked angle at the bottom of the shoe enhances dexterity during the trigger press, providing greater command and predictability, even with a standard Glock trigger weight. This design also mitigates finger discomfort during high-volume shooting, a common issue with previous generations like the Gen 4 and Gen 5.

This video by John G. Johnson of Firearms Training By John G. Johnson focuses on diagnosing and fixing common accuracy issues, specifically shooting low and left. The instructor emphasizes that proper grip and trigger press are responsible for approximately 90% of accuracy problems. He details a high, wrapped grip with locked thumbs and a 'press' rather than 'pull' trigger action as key to achieving consistent accuracy. The video also touches on sight picture and the 6 o'clock hold for precise aiming.
