TargetTalk

Hello all
Since it is my first post, i should introduce myself- i am Roy, and I live in Sweden. I am new to pistol shooting, and I have been reading many of the threads here, and found most very interesting and helpful.

I have a Rohm twinmaster trainer for standard pistol training and a FWB P44 short which I intend to comoete with at the club. I train both at home.

I find it easier to hit with the Rohm, altough it is heavier. The two stage trigger pull on the FWB confuses me a little, what is the best technique, when to start pull the first stage and when to complete the pull?

Thanks

This is what helped me quite a good bit:

Hi Roy,

Welcome.

Trigger press is a very individual thing.

Some people like to develop their press quite quickly and others do it more slowly.

Me personally I like to start pressing once I am in the aiming area and continue pressing until after the shot has broken. In all about 4 seconds.

What I would suggest is to sit down with a pistol you dry fire with and learn to press the trigger.

You should focus on a continuous build-up of pressure onto the trigger and continue pressing after the shot has broken.

Think about what feels right to you, it may take 1 second or it might take 4 or 5. The important thing is to think about is that the pressure is always building consistently. Even after the shot breaks.

Once you have figured out what you believe works for you (which could take quite a while) then you can apply that to dry-firing. Your focus is then on replicating what you were doing while sitting down and pressing the trigger whilst keeping the sights aligned.

Good luck

As mentioned above, it's important to learn what the trigger feels like and so you develope confidence in it. Most people will take up the first stage above the target or as they lower into it. You will then be sitting on the second stage as the gun settles in the aiming area at which time pressure increases. It should be a steady increase until it breaks but again that aspect improves with training.

Rob.
