Sometime back I got a new to me Ruger MKII slabside. It runs perfectly, has a 2lb trigger that breaks clean, I added Hogue grips (huge hands) , and a holosun red dot. But could not shoot it well.

got some coaching from one of our range buds. Gave me a list of drills and a schedule to practice.

One of those drills is to hold the dot on target for a count of 3 before breaking the trigger. The intent is to avoid snatching the trigger and practice holding solid on target.

Now the good news after 4 practice sessions and several dry fire sessions results are wildly better. Easily 2in @ 25yds. I had not heard of that exercise before.

That’s great! Shooting well is one of the most satisfying things a human can do and it’s easy to understand but hard to execute.

But nothing puts a smile on my face like hitting a target exactly where I intended to put the shot, especially when your using equipment that will allow you to do so.
