Handgun drills

@Ponder_MD I’ll offer two tips:

1) Tip the muzzle upward slightly as you press out so that you can see and follow the front sight out. Settle the front sight as you come on target. Much easier, faster, and controlled than trying to bring the front sight up onto target, because there is no hunting for front sight or trying to stop it when it rises to the target.

2) Perform the entire draw/press-out flow at very slow speed. When you are accurate with hits, increase speed just a tad, and repeat. Continue to build in this fashion til you are at your desired speed with accuracy.

Many folks make the mistake of trying to become fast by training fast, instead of working up gradually so they can identify specific points they need to adjust. Much like folks wanting to become accurate at long distances, without starting at 3 yards and working out to 25 yards.

You also should record your self. You may be able to self-diagnose your hitch.

1. Increase your marksmanship shooting a pistol and this takes some range time.
2. Practice your "push drill" as you call it starting from the center of your chest and push forward placing one shot into the target. If you are aiming low focus on front sight when you squeeze the trigger.
3. Repeat number 2.
