Have known JJ for over 30 years.. not only can he shoot he is truly one of the best men I have ever known.. he will always go the extra mile to help you understand the fundamentals. Because if you understand the base building blocks. The rest is just good practice..
That's a good looking MOFO. Triceps on point. JJ helped me go from uspsa "C" class to Grand Master in under a year with his teachings and mentorship. Highly recommend taking a class with him.
I appreciate this tip and it makes perfect sense that it's easier to find the wall from the front and not the rear. I was doing what many suggested which is find the audible click and stop there for the next trigger press. I'll experiment on the next range visit.
This is a helpful video. I understand the trigger reset and I like your idea about resetting on the recoil. IT is a good thing to shoot fast by not waiting for the trigger reset.
That is a very helpful perspective, finding the wall from the front instead of the back. That is a eversal of what I have been taught on numerous occasions. Thank you, I will explore that mind reset at the range
Thanks for sharing. I don’t have a shot timer at the moment so I can’t put a number on it but using this was a noticeable difference. I can’t wait for my next match.
As always, JJ is an authority on how not to suck at shooting! I bought a SIRT pistol some years back and found that it really helps with developing the habit of getting right back on the wall.
@@bluyetiinc7553 Depending on which model you get, it is a bit of an investment to buy one (I went all in with the pro model with the green laser and metal slide, so it was around $450, but they have less expensive models ), but I don't regret buying one! There are some other really good dry fire tools on the market now. I use the DryFireMag with my Glock 19 all the time. They have one with a laser now, so you can essentially turn your real gun into a laser trainer now. That said, the SIRT has some other features and benefits that no other product currently has, and they're great (and durable enough!) for force-on-force training and as a teaching tool. (I've gotten several people into shooting by teaching them on my SIRT first in my own home; there's something to be said about easing people into shooting with an inert training tool that isn't "scary"!)
NGL, this is hard to do. I definitely have the training scar of getting hung up on the release and returning to position 2. When firing in quick succession I have trouble juggling everything and connecting mind-to-finger. The difference is so subtle, but this makes so much sense.
Just wanted to drop a comment detailing some changes I have made. Finally started exercising again about 4 months ago. You have been a major positive influence for me in terms of not giving up on wanting to be in better shape. 28 might feel a bit late to start, but I have made more progress in the past 4 months than I ever did before. My lifts have been going up at an incredible pace compared to last time, and I found out yesterday that I can easily do a pull-up (chest to bar) which is huge for me. Just wanted to say thank you for all you guys do. 💪
JJ there’s something that I caught but I’m not sure it was clear when you stated it. You’re actually getting off the trigger while the slide is moving. Not waiting for the firearm to finish cycling a round if I heard you correctly so that your action is happening while the gun is unable to fire, is that correct? That also why there is no click on the trigger reset when you come off the trigger in your method because this sear hasn’t been reset yet
Certain things just amaze me. When I was growing up and going to shooting courses. Be it through NRA, S&W and military. They always referred to it as pulling the trigger and now the new buzz work is pressing the trigger. I normally "press" a button in. But when coiling my finger rearward, I am pulling. Why are we calling it a trigger press instead of a trigger pull?
When you're a competitive shooter sometimes you take for granted these techniques, then you read comments and realize just how far behind the average gun owner is in regard to using outdated techniques.
Wow! You taught me how to shoot a gun! I'm going into professional shooting now! I'd never know how to shoot my guns if it wasn't for you. Thank you so much 🎉.
I've seen so many different placements of the finger, including using a different finger just for convenience or due to injury and all that matters is that you can move the trigger straight to the rear. You can test that with a big marker laying on the web of your hand. Check both hands, finger length and hand size varies. As a basic guideline you can try to find a pistol that allows you to have all the movement solely by the 1. and 2. phalange and the 3. doesn't move and has no contact to the frame. If you have to insert the trigger finger so far that you touch your other hand during the pull, try a different frame size/back strap. The goal is to not disturb the sights to accomplish a goal at a certain distance. If you want to see the differences in a good pull, 25m and further will show you. Shot calling helps.
Dry fire, dry fire, dry fire! It's your at-home lab for finding out what works best for you, the operator. And a lot of it will depend on your hand size relative to the gun you are using.
Please STOP saying PRESS the trigger, it not only sounds stupid but one does NOT have to try and sound cool. Pressing a trigger will shoot you in the face.............
*Look everyone... quit paying attention to this stupid crap.* If you don't see a 5-figure cost super high framerate camera showing you stuff, all you are doing is listening to the words of someone that has not used a 20 grand camera to tell if what they are saying is true or not. *There is ONLY 1 WAY TO PRESS THE TRIGGER.* *_The way it feels best FOR YOU... and the way you don't wiggle the barrel at the end of travel._* Always. THERE IS ONLY 1 WAY TO DETERMINE THIS. Get a Mantis X and dry fire your gun a few hundred times. When your follow through stops wiggling, THAT is where your finger goes. Not where some random Guntuber says. Are your hands the same size as his? Did you do the same physical work all your life as he? I have enough guns that I have found even for the same person... ME, almost every gun wants your finger at a different spot. Glocks like for you to be right in the bend of your knuckle. 1911's like for you to be right on the tip of your finger. And everything in between for all the other guns. [If your hand is exactly as long as mine, and if you've been chopping wood and breaking things with your hands. See? I'm not even saying use MY method. I'm saying, don't listen to a rando on the Tube, figure it out for yourself.] And don't get me started on the idiotic gun grip they are lying to you about. Once again, researched on an expensive high framerate camera. And completely disproven as effective.
@@moalal95 I'm random until you see who I am. Be a sheep, accept what everyone tells you wholesale. It doesn't effect me. I personally think it's funny watching the LARPers.

20 years damn heavy thumbs
I saw him teach this a few years ago and this has by far been the most profound change in my shooting.

Where can I find info on his training?

same, this makes more sense, it completes the big picture for me
I am glad I stuck around for that ending. Hillarious...

Still learning and seeking to improve even after 30 years of shooting. Thanks.
I learn something every time I tune in. Thank you

Awesome tip, Thank you JJ!
Great video. Very helpful!

I had never heard of a sirt pistol..looked it up..does it really help?

This is eye opening. Thank you.
One of the GOATS!!!!
I haven't seen the video yet but want to compliment you for saying "Press". Thanks.
Great video…clearly I have been doing it wrong. I am looking forward to trying this out. Also trying to make that Feb Ft Meade event.
Awesome, thx man
This is very good information, I’ve been prepping my trigger wrong. I’ve listening to a click, then taking another shot.
I took a class with JJ pre plandemic, it was very eye opening. Good guy, got an autographed target from him after the class lol.
Helpful refinement
Beretta still one of the best out there! Thanks for the great info/tips ok accurate shooting!
Thank you for the tips
Great tips, thank you Sir!

Great stuff. Sometimes I say dribbling the trigger.
Great tip!
Great vid👍
This is good stuff - is this any different then “prepping trigger during recoil?
Another great video. Thanks Mick
This makes a lot of sense.

Keep it going, I have lost 42lbs since July, been practicing and training to be a better shooter and person!
What Beretta is that looks very nice ?
🇺🇸
That does makes sense in trigger press.
This is worth trying.

What are the glasses jj is wearing
Back to the wall in control...
Its easier to find the wall from the 'Front of the gun then the Rear 🎯
We need a new truck edc video
In flight reset changes the game
In Flight Resets!
The 'Tiger Woods' of guns. Minus the douchebaggery. Love both you guys.
Great information for bull's eye competition.
To survive a criminal violent assault not so much.
It's relevant to long shots, if you have the distance this could be difference in stopping the threat or not
also relevant to accurate & rapid shot placement, would hate to be on the receiving end of JJ performing a 'zipper' drill
Please explain your reasoning.
@@JB-uk7mn Agreed, when snipping
@@rodvan-zeller6360Snipping? What are you snipping and what scissors are you using?

So complicated
Could you possibly describe what each joint on the trigger finger should be doing?
No answer to that dude....everyone is built different....everyone does what works for them....just experiment and get your ten thousand reps in

Until you have experienced your sights on the target for your second shot before you were fast enough to pull the trigger remain a student
Hey Tom. Let me whitewash a little
Misleading title.
Excellent info.......but, is JJ some kind of psychopath that wears his watch on his dominant arm?
