M&P.... whats up with the trigger???

[agksimon]

I enjoy learning from all you guys! Any suggestion to improve my accuracy? Thanks in advance.

I rarely find anyone who can't be trained to be a much better shooter.

As I mentioned in another post, , I place a coin on a flat top slide, which the M&P's and Glock's are and dry fire with a snap cap. The coin should not fall off. I use the "push pull" method and semi-lock-up my wrists, elbows and shoulders, which most of the top action shooters practice and this makes for a very stable platform. It will also prevent "limp wristing", which causes the slide to short cycle and not fully extract the empty case. Learn to sqeeeeze the trigger, instead of jerking, using the pad of your index finger. If practiced till they become second nature, you will become a better shooter.
I'm 65 and can still put my shots into a quarter sized group at 8 yards with my M&P with stock trigger and have put them into a nickel sized group with lighter triggers.

Thank you! I will practice! One more question, I've never seen a snapcap work with a semi, except my shotgun. Does is extract when I pull the slide to "cock" it so the trigger will fire? Then I just replace it with another? Thanks! (yeah, I'm new to this)

Yes, but with some guns like the M&P, you only have to pull the slide back a fraction of an inch to re-cock it and the snap cap will stay in place.
