That's crazy.


Blue is one of those radical young guys who don't finger their triggers until their sight are on an identified target, whippernappers! grin

This is the sequence gun and shooter do every time the gun is fired and it cycles.

It is used by a lot of bulleyse shooters who don't want to damage a very light trigger,

It was recommended by some pistol smiths when you got your new comp gun, (Wilson, Pachemyer, Clark) before IPSC was taken over by the gamers.

I don't care if you do it or not.

whether gamer mentality (technic) is superior as far as day to day carry would probably depend more on the person.

If you shoot IDPA or local matches that require a "tactical" reload you may want to practice them. Duh.
