Bill,
I am heading to the range today to practice. I have been doing it wrong for so long. No wonder I never hit my target.

Great find!! still laughing about "supermodified gangster grip"
On a serious note, when I started using the "thumbs forward grip" the grip technique sped up my targey aquisition and my shot groups tightened up. I recieved some pistol instruction from a good friend mine who has instructed pistoil and rifle marksmanship at IMPD in the past and is a former army sniper. Keep in mind that I have 14 years in the Army and National Guard as an infantry soldier and 1 combat tour in Iraq under my belt and i just learned this trigger technique for trigger squeeze when shooting a semiautomatic firearm that has a single action trigger. You can safely practice this by dry firing or live firing at the range.
Assuming you know how to properly squeeze your trigger, letting loose the first round, DO NOT release the trigger. Trigger mechanisms have what is called a "reset" that varies in distance and feel from firearm to firearm. The trigger "reset" occurs when after you release the trigger a certain distance after firing a shot and the weapon autoloads the next round ( or after you dry fire and pull the slide back to reset the hammer or striker mechanism).
So, you have either dry fired and re-cocked or fired a round and the weapon is ready to fire again AND have not released the trigger. Slowly release your trigger until you hear and feel an audible click. Stop. Your weapon is ready to fire again. Practice keeping your trigger fully depressed until you are ready to fire again. Aquire your target, release trigger until you hear it and feel it reset, and squeeze again. By not not fully releasing your trigger, you are eliminating unneccessary movement and by doing so, you reduce unwanted weapon movement. This, alone will not make a person an expert marksman but I promise you that it will increase your hits in the 10 ring. With pratice, this method gives you more control over your firearm and helps prevent an unwanted follow up or accidental shot.
As always, keep your finger out of the trigger well until you are ready to fire, and remove your trigger finger from the well once you determine that you are not going to shoot. Guns dont fire themselves, ya know!

Our sheriff intructor taught us the same technique when I took the POST firearms course.
It was not required for my PC 1299 compliance but what the heck. We got to shoot at the SO range with their instructors. It was a blast.

Thank you for the video Bill and the confirmation that I have been shooting all wrong. See, I thought I was supposed to be texting with my left hand. "Now I know... and knowing is half the battle!"
And Bryan, that sounds like a great tip. I don't get much time at the range but I will be sure to try this tactic out next time I make it there. Thank you.
