    In addition to what GJM said, I've found I need to put my finger on the trigger differently to compensate. Not only that, but WHO I have my trigger finger buried all the way to the distal joint,...

    Fr=uN

    Basically, lower coefficient of friction, especially when sweaty and gross.

    When firing slowly with my M&P w/ DCAEK, I just try to concentrate on resetting to the point where I feel the compound trigger starting to move (close) under my finger - that's what I think of as...

    I am not exactly high speed, but I teach full ulnar deviation to beginners and then if grip strength becomes an issue I have them back off on it and grip harder. Basically, if they have to readjust...

    "First, best sight picture" is something I've been chasing for a long time. The less I worry about my own little "wobble zone" and the more I worry about front sight focus and trigger press, the...

    I think there is some conflation of ideas here. Follow through and recoil recovery are, IMHO, different animals. What I call recoil recovery (getting a second sight picture) is not part of the...

    I checked NPOA but neglected to check alignment with my radius while in the handshake position. I'll take a look at that, too.

    Lomshek:

    Yes, admin load is meant to ensure the gun's condition as loaded and ready to fire. It is performed on an unloaded (verified) gun.

    Any opinions on the urban gray color? Is it a true gray or more like a folliage green? It is hard to tell next to the bead blasted stainless.
