How? I know there's practice but I can't do it at indoor ranges and outdoor range time is limited and they are far away.

Any tips would be appreciated. I feel the trigger reset, but maybe I'm slowing down too much trying to feel it? I don't want to jerk in the meantime, and do I let the frontsight come back down before shooting, as I don't want my second shot to go high and away? I usually do two very controlled pairs.

In tactical sequence it's not so much a problem, but if there's only one BG (or the last BG in a tac sequence) wanna get it done right.

Have you tried dryfire exercises?

Double taps on close (15 yard to about 3 yards, under that I don't really see the sights) targets...presentation to flash sight picture...as soon as I see the red dot centered on the target, the trigger breaks. Watch the front sight swing up and bounce back down to the notch...as it is starting back down, feel the slide slame the fresh round home, the trigger reset, and th second shot breaks just as the red dot hits the notch again.

I should be able to go faster...my hits tend to be way too close together, even with running my usual .13 - .14 splits.

I know I can go faster...on Bill Drills I can hit the occasional .11 and .12 split...but I can't seem to do it on double taps.

Hard to practice that as a dry fire exercise...I usually stand across the room from my fireplace and track/trigger pull on the various crap on display there. Seems to help my transitions, if not the doubles.

For that...thousand and thousands of rounds of practice. Two shots at a time.

Sight the first and race the second.

I ran a couple of double taps with times under 0.09 seconds with my H&K USP Compact and the trigger is not the fastest under the sun.

Practice more and do the indoors if you do them fast enough the RO wont even notice:D
