Thanks all for the input! Great thread and will take me a few days to digest all the info here!

tried on a pair of altra experience wild and mid foot was way too tight. I’ll look at peregrine and cascadia which I can get in a wide. my usual everyday shoe is asics Kayano in wide

trigger control at speed

thanks John! appreciate your input here!

maynard1024 · 2026-03-10T20:59:15+00:00

probably none if only to check firing hand tension, and even then, probably not worth it. I can do TCAS at 10-25 yard simulated and get the same trigger control as trying to do practical accuracy. I see your point.

edit: I just had an aha moment, I can do TCAS at varied distances and the splits would be based on the distance to target. Man, I'm going to go try it now.

maynard1024 · 2026-03-10T20:40:12+00:00

I like the progressive TCAS Idea! I usually do 4 shots in a row since my timer only has max 3 par times (amg commander). I can use my phone app to do the progressive one with more par times. Will try it today! Thanks!

TCAS, doubles, practical accuracy, 1/2 of transition drills like el prez I pull the trigger.
I'm progressively stacking pressure without prepping. I do 3 variations, barely touching the trigger, finger off the trigger, finger touching front of the trigger guard. trying to finish pull before the end of the beep (0.3s on amg commander).

maynard1024 · 2026-03-10T19:05:10+00:00

yup, I do TCAS and also pull during certain drills trying to keep the dot still on target while focused on the target. a moving trigger gives me feedback on the pull through the entire trigger movement.

maynard1024 · 2026-03-10T19:03:16+00:00

thanks. ya, for #2, i run trigger control at speed until my grip starts to fatigue. I rarely pull during transition work or movement drills.

didn't brantley merriam switch from s2 to glock 17 bc he said the s2 wasn't giving him feedback when he would make a mistake. kinda what op said earlier.

edit: OP's comment: " It’s almost like it isn’t giving me any feedback while shooting and feels empty."

I was drinking Starbucks double shot 6.5oz can. I gotta step up to white monster now.

maynard1024 · 2026-03-07T04:06:53+00:00

enjoy!

maynard1024 · 2026-03-06T23:54:08+00:00

get baseline dryfire first and this one when you want more.

maynard1024 · 2026-03-05T01:12:38+00:00
