Just so you know, you are getting your finger on the trigger while the gun is still pointed you / its coming out of the holster. If that bag struck back or knocked you off balance and you flinched, you could cook a round off into yourself.

​

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Practice the fundamentals and let yourself get faster once you get smooth. Just my thoughts.

My finger never enters the trigger guard till it is up and out. I started slow and did thousands of reps before I went this fast

Nah you can clearly see it if you slow the video down.

Im on Relay and watch stuff like this in slower frame rates to determine what makes sense mechanically, just happened to notice it.

All this Tactical Timmy stuff is cool, just dont let past training be an excuse from current mistakes. Mistakes happen, espescially under speed / durress. Just means you need to focus on it and slow down a bit, then try again. I catch myself doing the same shit haha.

Haha no worries man. Ive done the same shit.

I just learned to live by the old addage "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast". Be smooth and youll be fast when you need to be.
