The next time that you are dry-firing your favorite handgun, I would ask that you try a little exercise. It is most applicable to the autos, but applies also to a few revolvers as well. With a verified unloaded pistol, cock the hammer or striker. Press the trigger through a complete cycle, which drops the hammer or releases the striker and hold the trigger fully to the rear. Now, from the all-the-way-back position, slowly allow the trigger to come forward. When you hear and feel a light click, you have identified a very interesting point in the gun's action. It is the reset point and the click is the lockwork parts resetting for another pull. Continue this exercise until you have memorized exactly how far forward you need to move the trigger before it resets. Now, go to the range and repeat with live ammo. Do it until resetting the trigger of your chosen pistol has become a habit and you do it without thinking. The last act in firing a shot is to re-acquire the front sight and re-set the trigger. Trigger reset is one of the keys to fast and accurate combat shooting.
