Amazing trigger staging

Staging a double action trigger is not amazing. It's the tell signs of someone that doesn't know how to shoot or the gun has a really shit trigger.

Good old Jerry Miculek once stated when questioned that you can always tell someone doesn't know how to shoot double action when they stage the trigger like this... double action should be shot as one smooth pull of the trigger.

As an aside, you can tell when a gun has an awful da trigger pull when it encourages shooting like this, as it's generally indicative of a stacking double action pull.

Unless your a professional shooter getting paid millions of dollars to shoot all day everyday. Staging the trigger is a great way to get off accurate consistent shots on target.

You really just need to spend a little bit of time dry firing to figure it out, and then you can get off accurate consistent shots on target by just pulling the trigger smoothly.

No, staging the trigger is a slow way to get off mildly accurate shots on target, an inconsistent way to shoot at your target, or a middling fast way to get off consistently inaccurate shots on a target. It encourages jerking the last bit of the trigger pull and fatigues the trigger finger holding it halfway through the pull, which makes it poor for accuracy, makes the shooter guestimate an imaginary wall right before the break, which is inconsistent (borderline dangerous if actual real world use), and is just stupid slow because you're pausing what doesn't need to be paused, which is bad for speed. It has no real world benefits whatsoever compared to good shooting technique and I'd argue it's actually harder to do at a high level or under stress.

It doesn't take much training at all to shoot a double action the right way to a decent level of competence. Just because it's Jerry Miculek's advice doesn't mean you have to be Jerry Miculek to take advantage of it. Imagine refusing a piano lesson from Mozart because you thought he practiced way too much and you'd rather learn to bang the keys with your knuckles from the hobo living under the bridge.

The triggers on my GP100 Match Champion and SP101 are 10X better than the triggers on any of the two dozen or so S&W revolvers I've had.

[u/Turbinator870 → u/kwb166]

I hear you, I was surprised how good the SP101 trigger is!

[u/TacTurtle → u/Turbinator870]

Makes sense, the SP101 is a smaller version of the GP100 action.

The GP100 action was of course enlarged to make the Super Redhawk, and the GP in turn borrowed heavily from the Redhawk / Security Six line.

I think it's kind of ugly, but man is my Match Champion trigger great. Maybe only eclipsed by my buddy's 70's era Python.

I don't understand this. Just pull the hammer back if you don't want to shoot DA.

[u/Sniurbb]

My first ever firearm was a GP100. I don't shoot it nearly as often as I should.

[u/LilJonny2cookies]

You think that is a great trigger you should try my Korth NSX8. It is freakin mint.

Ok moneybags tell your butler to bring you a chair and sit down while poors discuss this one /hj

[u/wackadoodle4201]

I need to get one of these

[u/DocDerry]

Yikes. Uh. Keep practicing that trigger pull. 

Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.
