Stay On The Trigger
Sheriff Jim talks about staying on the trigger after taking the shot. This is something Tom Givens emphasized in our defensive pistol class at the LuckyGunner Memorial Day Blogger Shoot. Instead of taking your finger off the trigger, you keep it on it and only allow it to go forward far enough to reset the trigger.
Sheriff Jim’s Tip – Look And Assess
I really like Sheriff Jim Wilson. He presents a lot of good, common-sense tips on self-defense.

Useful Stuff
CheaperThanDirt is doing a good job on these short videos. They are pretty useful especially if you don’t have the skills of a trained gunsmith.
Triple Threat Pistol Drill
The targets used by Viking Tactics have a variation on the Mozambique (two to the chest, one to the head). They do three to the chest, one to the head, and one to the pelvis. It looks to be an interesting drill.
One thing I’ve wondered about in these sorts of drills is whether it is better to take out one target completely and then move to the others or hit each each one once or twice and then go back. I’ve never been in a tactical situation nor have I attended a class so I don’t know the right answer to this.
