I wanted to get some opinions on a trigger press approach I will loosely describe as "Flip and Press"?
I shoot Glocks, and recently came across a video of a slow-fire sequence where this appeared to be used. This individual finished each trigger press flat, paused very briefly in that position, then with an audible reset of the connector, released the trigger. The next shot was taken from just before the break.
So the sequence went:
1 Get quick/careful/precise sight picture, as needed, for the target distance, then take up slack in trigger
2 Break shot, but hold trigger against guard after
3 Allow for a very slight pause
4 Release (flip) the trigger all the way forward to reset connector, then take up slack again and get another sight picture
5 Repeat at (2) as needed, otherwise release trigger and place finger on slide as usual
After I thought through what I have been doing, I am in a rush to shoot the next shot and get off the trigger, without allowing it to pause or "finish" at all, really.
I tried this very briefly at the square range at the end of my last session and discovered it did seem to offer a slight increase in accuracy, but at the expense of the delay. However the actual trigger press also seemed to result in less movement of the gun at the break, since I was mentally finishing with no movement of the trigger. Just that slight pause in time after the shot before starting the flip forward or reset of the connector seemed to be steadier.
Am I headed down the wrong path here?
