Is there a gun that shoots like 1911?
Shoots like a 1911 or
feels like a 1911?
I'm sure folks can chime in with what feels like a 1911, but AFA what shoots like a 1911, there are a ton of 'em - you just have to do your part.
Based on your earlier thread, it sounds like trigger pull is your biggest problem?
I believe someone on the other thread mentioned a lot of folks like the 1911 because the trigger can mask a lack of experience / skill - I completely agree.
As Ayoob is fond of saying;
A light trigger pull is, more than anything else, a crutch for bad trigger technique.
A bit of dry fire practice (maybe with a DA trigger?) will go a long way toward learning how to move only the trigger finger without the rest of the hand wobbling.
I also tend to go against the grain a bit (although I see some schools are finally teaching this method), but my practice is mainly based on SD. As such, I use a 'controlled slap' pulling the trigger.
Like everyone else, first time I pick up a gun I'll check out the reset, trigger pull length, stacking, yadda yadda yadda, but that's probably the last time I'll use the trigger in that manner.
If SD is one / the main reason you have a gun, when crunch time comes and your life is on the line, are you going to be
squeeeezing the trigger, releasing only to the reset point, etc? Chances are, you're going to be dumping rounds down range as fast as you can pull the trigger.
Couple that with two physiological changes that occur when you're hit with the adrenaline dump of a high stress situation - loss of fine motor skills, and greater than normal strength. How you think that combo is going to affect your trigger technique if you've practice squeeeeezing the trigger, etc?
I also go against 'conventional wisdom' and don't look at the front sight, but focus on the target. Again, it's human nature when presented with a threat to focus on the threat, so why fight human nature / physiology and learn an unnatural technique?
BTW - maybe it's my eyes or ?, but I am as accurate focusing on the target (maybe more so) than I am focusing on the front sight.
I see flames a-comin'!
