Best Dry Practice Drills for Trigger Control

[Lon]

Little confused. When you "fire until the coin falls," do you rack the slide every time?

I imagine that he is shooting a gun that does not require the slide to be moved to reset the striker. Just a guess.

So this always confused me about the coin drill.. I can get all the way through pulling the trigger without moving the coin, my sights don't move in their alignment on the follow-through - but the jolt of the hammer falling shoots the coin right off my front sight. The vibration bumps it off...

Is this just what happens when you have an over-built Ruger revolver and try to run this drill? Or am I probably doing something wrong.

This was my reason for asking. I knocked out 33 with both hands and a dime on the front sight the other night and 15 WHO and SHO before I stopped and moved on to something else. I may start swapping the drill in and out of my routine.

Try it with an empty case - I find it much harder than coins. The taller the case, the harder it is. I was using 38spl cases.

Same thing happened to me with both my snubby J frame and my big-ass K frame revolvers. The case/coin would literally jump into the air. What I did was put an empty case on the frame, rather than on the front sight. Anywhere between the front sight and the back sight, until I found a spot that didn't seem to vibrate so much.

I use a S&W 49.

The coin on the front sight jumps on hammer-fall. It doesn't fall off.

Practice!! Practice.

How wide is your front sight?

I recently purchased laser grips for my G19 and noticed when dry firing with the laser there is an ever so slight bobble after the trigger breaks. Is this normal, I think it has to do with parts of the gun moving because of trigger over travel and perhaps the striker hitting the breach face.

It doesn't seem to effect live fire very much. At 7yd's I can with a fairly high level of consistently make 5 shot 1" groups offhand. I just don't want to chase my tail over something that happens to everyone.
