What about that Glock angle?

Instruction from Joel Park, an expert in practical shooting, explains why manipulating the trigger should be isolated during certain dry fire drills. By removing the trigger press, shooters can focus on fundamental skills like visual focus, sight alignment, and target transitions, preventing the simultaneous attempt to fix multiple errors. This method enhances feedback on gun-to-target acquisition and is applicable across various firearm platforms.

This expert-level guide from Farewell Firearms Training emphasizes the pistol grip as the most critical fundamental for accurate and fast shooting.
