Should you pull the trigger with the joint of your trigger finger or with the pad (fingerprint) of your trigger finger?

Thanks,

Ideally with "plumb" of your finger tip.  this depends (obviously) on the individual mechanical articulation (i.e. injuries, etc.)

I understand what your saying, but it could be several reasons. First being they are working in a team, so seeing and hearing each other could be limited due to the door. Another being if they need to move quickly, they won't run into the door, or have to manuever around. If you're already forced to exit a vehicle and can't drive away, then you have serious problems.

u close the door so it doesn't get in the way in case you need move in that direction magpul is all about speed, form and accuracy a car a door can get in the way

@paulpm This is widely debated. It's preference, mostly. Though traditionally, double action revolver or pistol is joint, single action is the pad of the finger.

@Daytonaman675 I don't think you watched the video. The two individuals exiting the vehicle were using pistols only. If the vehicle is stopped, and you're using pistols only I highly doubt you have a CAT available. Also, if the contact is coming from the driver side and both the driver (exiting from his door) and passenger are exiting the vehicle, I doubt they have an armored vehicle.

Again, I standby my original comment. If you can't drive away, then you have serious problems.

[Daytonaman675]

@td84 Aditional point it depends on where the contact is comming from - what armor the vehicle has - and what your CAT truck has in it (counter assault truck) Most times if a vehicle gets inop'd the Cat truck will either "push" the damaged vehicle out of the x or will go assault the ambushers to take fire off of the people switching vehicles in the x.

Aw I wanted to see that huge guy shoot from the ground and try to get back up!

@lcy85 That wasn't a very thought out comment. Apparently you haven't done very much homework to say something ignorant like that.

Gun Gallery, huh? Jacksonville, FL? Nice store; guys know their stuff in there. And I met THe Jedi master himself at the store too. :-)

@joeratti He's got a good stable firing platform, that's for sure.

[Acer81996]

@joeratti and end up kicking your ass up your face, seeing what progress they are at.

[lcy85]

don't ya think credentials of the instructors should be taken into consideration when spending your money on a class? travis and chris are cool guys, but i think larry vickers has better credentials on training operatives. agree?
