Just as with the rifle, you need to know what the parts are, how they work together, how to take it apart, clean it, put it together, make sure you put it together right, and take corrective action if something goes wrong. We'll go over some carry thoughts, because you may be carrying a pistol at times when a rifle wouldn't be legal nor appropriate.
Then you can start learning how to shoot it properly.

Now you've got the basic tools to practice proper handgun use.
Once you practice it (a lot), and apply the lessons to live fire practice, then you'll know what you're doing, and hit what you're shooting at.
We'll pick that up tomorrow.
When training "smaller-statured" shooters on the M9 we encountered the issue of "small hands on big guns". Many of these smaller folks simply could not reach the trigger on the M9 in DA mode. Because we were not necessarily bound by dictum we simply trained these folks to shoot SA only - which means thumbing the hammer back using the support hand thumb during the third presentation step. With careful attention this can be inculcated during dry-fire and then on the range.
ReplyDeleteOur usual carry of the M9 was hammer down safety off and so using this presentation from the holster didn't present any problems. Again this was a solution to a problem, NOT a universal technique.
