The Fighting Handgun Series - Trigger Trigger Trigger

[13deadmaidens]

wow very informative bro

[CTKix]

I have a simple method for teaching the right finger placement. I pinch the students nail bed until it turns white and they feel a good pinch. I tell them, where it hurts, put that on the trigger. Works every time.

[jmmurdy]

Nice video.....wish more would see this video.

[Kragoblin]

trigger control is very important. a lot of your accuracy comes from how you squeeze the trigger. a lot of people don't take into consideration that the slightest pull to the left or right could throw off your shot especially as your distance increases

[TacticalMonky]

My drill sergeants who where taught by delta guys, where told its better to have your finger to the second joint. because with an m16 at least, the idea behind it is when its at the second joint, it pulls the trigger straight back with the natural motion of clenching your fist. Also, when you use the end of your finger you pull the trigger back and to the right ( if your right handed). NOW!! thats with an m16, and it worked for me. with a handgun i have no idea so ill have to try it. my 2 cents

[TacticalMonky]

@TacticalMonky with that being said, the difference between the two trigger placements only made a difference with ME, at longer range targets such as the 300m with iron sights because the M16 is such a sensitive weapon when it comes to the smallest jerk of the weapon at longer ranges

[tacdriver911]

Miller, what 1911 is that you have in this video? Are those hand grips aftermarket?

[BlackwolfW87]

Why does McDonalds called ham Canadian Bacon?

Its so confusing!

[AlfonsFromAtech]

Miller,

You said: ''train with dry firing'' and then you said: ''you have then good trigger control before you ever shot a round''.

Well in real life people are scared at first for the shot, in dry firing of course they are good because there is no bang to go, but when you shoot in real life people are scared for the shot and gonna concentrate when that shot is gonna come.

So i don't believe in dry firing.

[JAROSLAVAGINA]

@AlfonsFromAtech congratulations

[wcropp1]

@AlfonsFromAtech You have a legitimate point, but that is partly the appeal of dry firing--the lack of recoil and muzzle blast allows timid shooters to perfect their trigger pull without having to worry about the gun flying out of their hands, etc. Of course, you have to learn to control the recoil, not to flinch, etc., but dry firing in addition to range time will allow you to get there quicker and save you some money in the process.

[AshogNorth]

@AlfonsFromAtech Miller's point is to just get the basics down before you have a beginner shoot. If you bring someone to the range who does not have the proper basics they will shoot all over the place. Teaching proper stance, grip, and trigger control before you get out there gives them something to think about. It also makes the person more confident when starting out. Once they have live trigger time they can then go back and practice both dry and live fire to improve.

[AZRogue]

Absolutely correct. Too many people forget about trigger manipulation and just concentrate on hitting a target with slowly fired shots that ignore critical fundamentals. Basically, the exact opposite of how they will use their firearm in a defensive situation. New shooters would do well to remember these basic concepts and work on them just as much as they do proper firearm safety. Great video.

[DanDaCanadian]

What sort of hold do you use for rifles? I've always used what you've shown for handguns, but for rifle I've tried all sorts of things, and I honestly don't have the experience to know which is objectively better. It seems intuitive to me that you'd use the same squeeze with a rifle as you would a pistol given that they're the same basic mechanics (With the difference being that you have a smaller margin of error with a pistol), but I've seen it done many ways. What is your take?

[AlfonsFromAtech]

@DanDaCanadian What a lot of people use is the ''Modern Rifle Isoceles''.

Or what you can say the ''Magpul Dynamics'' grip.

Also a lot of Ar15 shooters use is the ''C clamp grip'' that's with your thumb over the top rail. And i assume that you use an Ar15 type rifle then this wil matter for you.

[buzzsah]

I have been instructing since 1972, and I have done just as many re-trains as newbe's, and I have to go over trigger and sight alinement with the re-trains more then the newbe's due to they have to brake a habbit, were newbe's are open mined. At least 70% of the re-trains are from other instructors that just don't take the time, or is just signing off for the money.. Good video keep it up.

[dminor214]

thanks for this vid miller. gettin back to the basics.

[daverunner]

GLOCK GLOCK GLOCK  AND GOOD CONTROL

[fuyingbro]

very good video. i like how you said not to take anyone on youtube at face value. i try to remember to say that i am not expert and that this is just an opinion. i would never trust someone that says they are an expert. they may know a lot more than me but no one knows every thing

[GOLDSILVERDUDE]

Instead of gun videos, you should upload a video of yourself worshiping your god Lucifer.

[averagejoetactical1]

Remember that time we played "just the tip". Then you performed "tip to base" on that homeless guy?

[bisquik3006]

@averagejoetactical1 And, it all goes downhill from here, lol. 

[millerusaf]

@bisquik3006 ....I remember that one time when we both played "hang the towel" in the living room....Megagevehr was there.....he was cleaning the bathroom.

[millerusaf]
