In 2009, I came home from a deployment and my oldest son, who was 3 or 4 at the time, wouldn’t eat for almost 2 weeks... Being a father I was obviously concerned, so I asked him about it and his answer really hit me hard… He said, “Dad, if I eat I’ll grow up and if I grow up I’ll become a daddy. And if I become a daddy, I’ll have to leave my family.” My boys barely knew who I was and I couldn’t let them grow up without a father... I realized at that moment my family needed me a lot more than the Navy needed another SEAL. So I put in for retirement the next day… Back then I knew I wanted to be with my family more than anything, so I made changes in my life that allowed me to be at home. We all want more time to spend with the people we love or doing the things we love. That’s why I’m here to help! That's why I am giving you my top 3 training videos (for FREE) to help you learn how you can stay at home, and save time and money while you improve your shooting!

Mr. Chris Sajnog.... Dry fired is Not allowed by the Manufacturer of Firearms and it is written in their policy. If you say it's okay then I believe you b.cuz you have tons of Experiences.....
I am 70 years old and a retired police officer and love to go to the shooting range. I have been practicing many of Chris's tips and have been able to improve my shooting by at least 50% already. I would like to thank Chris for the many sacrifices he has made and for his service to our country.
Retied after 27 years working in private security. Following Chis my shooting has improved tremendously. He is one of the few that I follow on a regular basis.
I love how short and sweet your videos are and your tips are on point! Thank you for that!! That being said, it's interesting that, in another of your videos, you recommend holding your breath in order to steady your hands but then, in this one, you say it's the worst thing one can do while shooting. I'm sure most understand that these recommendations are under normal circumstances/conditions but this could be confusing to someone that's just starting out that watched these two videos back to back, like I just did. Just a friendly recommendation to maybe add a disclaimer to let folks know that there may be times they will have to go against these teachings then add a link to said specialized video.
I liked a drill from Rob Leatham about not aiming(youtube vid). It reminded me of the "put a coin on your pistol and practice dry firing so it doesn't fall off when your trigger releases." And practice ! Muscles remember.
As i have been trained before, a guy taught me to point the target but not aim the target. To squeeze the trigger but not pulling the trigger. Following your instinct of muscle memory by lots of practice. That makes you are able to hold your pistol a perfectly straight line directly to the target where you point at.
All those videos of Christ , have been invaluable , for me , they have been valuable tools & advise , that I have been practicing with ... MASSIVE THANKS !!!
People confuse releasing your breath and holding your breath. The shot shot be taken after releasing air while upper body still. Prolonging that moment is where the mistake is made.
The keyword is "tip of your finger" and not the middle of your finger. Beginners always push the finger all the way into the trigger guard and use the middle portion of the finger to pull the trigger, which will always lead to the gun moving to the bottom left corner. I practice even without dry firing, but just pully trigger on the empty gun without even rocking it. I have a red dot installed and was practicing to the point when the red dot did not move at all while pulling the trigger with the tip of the finger. That was my own experience in the training trigger pull.

Very good instruction. I'll I'm working on that breathing thing. It's a hard habit to break. I've been saying out loud. I'M BREATHING, IM BREATHING, I'M BREATHING, while training. Even with no gun and my hands extended and in a shooting position . I'm breathing, I'm breathing, I'm breathing.
@ Jacob Harrad: Many years ago when i was in the Army they taught us to hold our breath. Now I find out they were wrong about that. I wish i could go back in time and try all over again. I'm sure i would have done much better. I wonder if the Army is still teaching the trainees to hold their breath.
Hi Chris, Just a step before you pull the trigger, you have to move your trigger finger from the frame to the trigger. This moves the pistol. Any advice how to move the finger to the trigger?. Working on the small chunks.
Car Clutch , trigger , both use springs that must then be used ever so slowly to avoid blunder , feels like manufacturers set us up for fail that way. Just like there is a better way with automatic cars , there has to be a way for triggers to eliminate this issue. Now you know the anatomy of a gun better than I do , what mechanism would you put in place to eliminate the trigger issue and make it more consistent for everyone?
Hi did we have to close one eye or not when we want to to focus on targer or not I always close is that good somebody says not close somebody says close
Damn I have become a better shooter with some of the tips you have taught me. Thank you for that!!! I have a question for you. I had some trigger work done on my SIG 226 and the pull is much easier and the reset is ridiculously short now. My question is would you recommend doing that with all my pistols...I wouldnt waste money on my S&W MP pistols. But I do have some good H&K and Barrettas but not sure if doing this makes me more reliant on that specific type of trigger or reset. Did you or any guys you know ever have work like that done? What did you do and did it make a difference? Thanks for the awesome channel and thank you for all the good tips.
I wouldn't do it to a non-double action trigger due to safety reasons. Other than that maybe just test out if your Sig has any light primer strikes. If it frequently does with reliable ammo then maybe it's an issue. As for me I kinda think my stock Glocks are maybe too light. But I could see a Beretta 92 with a trigger job being slick!
most important thing is the area of the finger that is on the trigger touching it and that area is 1/3 the way UP FROM the knuckle toward the end of the finger......you did not mention this .......wont hit anything repeately if you dont get in this habit first .......you didn't mention it at all
Disagree with the breathing thing. As you breathe, the crosshairs move ever so slightly up and down, which would MAKE you time your shot. Exactly the opposite of what you said to do. I was taught that after my exhale, to hold my breath for a split second, then gently pull the trigger straight back, while staying relaxed. Try breathing, while bench rest shooting, and see if I'm right... Leaves you NO CHOICE but to try and time your trigger pull.
Hahaha!!! Yeah, I'm sure you are a Navy SEAL Sniper Trainer too. I was told in the military, never take advice from anyone more f'd up than you are. Thanks, but I'll just follow Chris.
There seems to be a lot of conflicting opinions about breathing. I figure as long as your trigger pull is good, you'll be able to fire accurately at the moment u deem fit no matter what?
I struggle pulling the trigger. Every morning when I wake up I grab my gun, pull the hammer back and point the gun to my head but I just can't seem to go through with it. Any advice?
Yeah...well deer hunting is a lot different than being under stress in a firefight with bullets being shot your way. When you’re deer hunting you can hold your breath and take your time shooting. You don’t have that privilege when you’re being shot at.
I think that all GREAT shooters time their trigger break, with their sights. The surprise break is a good training method for beginners, but it's useless for precision. Once a person has "learned" exactly where their trigger breaks, this timing can be done, when you have a pause in your breathing, and your sights fall perfectly in line. I don't think that you are practicing what you are preaching. But, if you really are shooting this way, you can't be any better than an "okay" shooter. Nobody can hold their sites perfectly still, and depend on a surprise break to hit bullseye every time. NOBODY! I don't mean any disrespect, because I think that you are trying to appeal to beginners, so they won't anticipate the shot, and develop a flinch. I get it. But, I really don't think that you actually shoot this way. Correct me, if I'm wrong. What's the point in having precision sights on your weapon, if you're not gonna take full advantage of them?
That's total Fudlore nonsense it depends on how wide and or six the backstrap is of the weapon in the length of pull towards the trigger some guns good people some guns don't that's why people need to try different weapons systems and see which one works best for them then if you comparatively compare one brand to another you'll see there's a Goldilocks tight fit for some people depending on their hand size if you take any weapon and put it in somebody's hand and it doesn't fit their hand they will not put the fingertips or the middle of their finger sometimes that trigger will fall with your bones straight behind the weapon and you actually griping the weapon correctly the phone or distal joint in your finger will fall on it that happens with me with Glocks sometimes the rule of thumb is that the first digit of your finger should be parallel with the frame or slide receiver of the weapon fingertip is nonsense that's for a perfect fitted weapon or weapon that fits in your hand good for a thinner weapon your finger will end up deeper in that trigger it's all about pulling the trigger straight to the rear period end of the story

Hi Chris.. Down here is South Africa ..and i jus wana give a huge thumbs up.. your videos are short concise and informative.. Best wishes
Thank you for all the tips. My grouping has dramatically improved to only like 2 inches in 7 yards.
Great advice !! Ordered my E book, thanks for what you do, greatly appreciated !
Good info. Especially the breathing part.
Breathing exercises are so under rated. Not just in shooting too. IMHO.

Thanks Chris. So many controversies surrounding breathe control. I guess it works for some.
Very clear to understand teacher

Thoughts on red dots on pistols?
Does dry firing damage the firing pin?
Only on rimfire guns, like a .22LR. Centerfire guns should be fine to dryfire.

What if the trigger DOES owe me money?
A contractors arguement.😎😂

Very common in today's aftermarket supply :p

So how is Chris working that trigger w/o working the slide ? 🤔on that Glock ?
if someone ask you that, say that you don't know.
It’s a reset trigger kit- you can get them from GlockStore.com
Navy Seal has to be one of the hardest jobs in the world.
Lol all these people in the comments telling the trained operator he “forgot to mention x” or “you’re wrong”... just so funny
Have you seen "trained operators"? Most people in the armed forces are literal retards.
With how much my triggers cost, they do owe me money.
Can you do practical

I am not sure about those things connected with the lack of the oxygen. You just hold your breath for a few seconds. It cannot affect your body.
You should be able to hold your breath for 5 to 10 seconds with no symptoms if you’re healthy
And then he asked for $3 fiddy
actually i hold my breath every time i shoot and i have never missed a deer
Yeah but he's a navy seal and im guessing he's not shooting at a deer haha . Its a little different when bullets are flying your way as well.
Yeah...well deer hunting is a lot different than being under stress in a firefight with bullets being shot your way. When you’re deer hunting you can hold your breath and take your time shooting. You don’t have that privilege when you’re being shot at.

I think you're correct. I'm curious how you would reconcile "focus hard on the scope reticle" and "aim small miss small". Thanks.
“ firearms are inherently accurate”. Lol! I always blame the gun, the sights, whatever….
Timing Your crosshair On The Target Then instantly Shooting Is called doing a flickshot , idk but That's what we call it in Gaming
