I have a IZH46M with which I shot at my house every day, because it makes little noise and will not disturb the neighbors.
I have a FWB P40 with which participated in the championships.
two different triggers can be good training for best results?

Re: two triggers, one goal
I think the key to having two different guns or two triggers (or both) which are helpful for training is to have them provide complementary results for the user. I have also used an IZH46 for practice and then shifted to the P40 for matches and always seem to shoot better with the p40 (mostly). I use both for the same reason in that the izzie is really quiet to shoot and I have neighbors who are too close and they dont want booming sounds at 1am
Since the IZH is more nose heavy, has lesser grips and has a simpler trigger, it forces different muscle training and hold which is somewhat different and seems complementary with a p40 in my experience. I find the opposite to be the case going from a P40 to the LP10. I always shoot worse on the lp10 for some reason partly because it feels so light in the hand and I gave up on the Steyr for matches (and training).
If having the heavier feeling 46 for training is a workable option and allows you more hold and shot practice than one would ordinarily experience that seems like it has to be a good thing. I think practicing primarily on a single gun is still probably ideal, but a "complementary" gun approach might be a good option given the circumstances. I wonder if there are other naturally complementary combinations for training and matches.

Re: two triggers, one goal
The best training is just to use your match gun.
If there is a reason, such as noise, to use a different gun in training then OK, but it's a compromise.

You could always put more weights on both sides of the barrel shroud and the grip to make the pistol heavier.cpe wrote:I always shoot worse on the lp10 for some reason partly because it feels so light in the hand and I gave up on the Steyr for matches (and training).
I assume if you used the FWB P40 in the championships, you must be shooting higher scores and your muscle memory is accustomed to that particular trigger.NanoZ. wrote:I have a FWB P40 with which participated in the championships. two different triggers can be good training for best results?
I shoot my P34 short better than my IZH46M because it feels well balanced in my hand. However, my LP10 beats them both since it has the grip and trigger that I am used to.
Anyway, the better you get, the more dry firing practice vs. live fire is needed. I would have to say two DIFFERENT triggers is not good for training and will not help you.

Re: two triggers, one goal
I would defiantly shoot just one gun. if you are serous enough to practice, you should just use the one gun I think :)
