[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 3321481, member: 5316"] One thing I have noticed when training people and trouble shooting my own issues. When a person shoots much “better” with a SA gun such as a 1911 than a Striker or Double action gun, the SA gun is simply masking the problem. Jerking the trigger, anticipation, pushing the trigger etc, are amplified with a heavier trigger pull. The SA just goes off before we see the full results of what they are doing. I recently worked with a friend who was jerking the trigger and anticipating very badly. So much the he was adjusting his red dot to compensate for the downward movement of his gun upon pulling the trigger. As we started fixing the trigger he started missing the plates more at 25y. He was hitting them about 40-60% of the time. I finally started shooting his gun and was missing the plates myself, 100%. I shot a few rounds at the 10’ target I had set up. At 10’, the POI was 6” high. [emoji15] Thats how far he was pulling the gun down with the trigger pull. His iron sight gun had a better trigger, and he was not pulling it down as far. A big training scar he had developed and placed into muscle memory that will take a while to overcome. Anyhow, perfecting the Glock trigger will help out some 1911 trigger issue you might have that are less apparent now. [/QUOTE]
