KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER!!!! Training Trick: This week, we are going to practice trigger control. This drill will help you to have a smooth trigger pull and help engrain the necessity to focus on the front site. You will need a handgun and a coin. Before you start this drill, place all ammunition and magazines for your handgun in another room. As you practice safe firearm handling techniques, place the coin on the end of the handgun on top of the slide by the front site. Stand in your shooting stance and aim your handgun at an object. Now focus on the front site and squeeze the trigger trying to be as smooth as possible so that the coin does not fall of the slide. Reset the trigger and repeat.
