Travis Haley and Ron Avery cover the Triggerstripe Drill. They work on trigger pull and move on to cadence firing with consistent trigger pull.
You can download the Practical Shooting Academy target they are using here. It’s designed to provide biofeedback. By shooting along the line either faster or further away, the shooter can gauge his trigger control.

Bravo Company Manufacturing introduces their new Gunfighter’s Grip which was designed based on modern carbine manipulation techniques. It offers a reduced angle over the standard issue grip and does away with finger grooves which may or may not fit your hand. As you can see in this graphic, the M16A2 grip was designed for use in a range setting whereas the new GFG was optimized for a modern gunfighting stance.
Haley Strategic Partners consulted on the development of the GFG and offered SSD a few observations –
“Modern weapon manipulation techniques have been informed by years of conflict overseas and at home, with technology complimenting natural biomechanics to create a more lethal platform.
In the past stance and grip were something created from doctrine and not science. Today we understand the science and priority in gunfighting:
1: Solid recoil control dramatically increases the shooters ability to balance speed and precision. This improves efficiency, hit probability, effectiveness which leads to improves shooter survivability.
2: The modern shooting platform forces the shooters armor towards the direct threat he’s engaging, reducing lateral vulnerability to the chest and abdomen otherwise exposed in a bladed stance towards the direct threat.”
The BCM GFG is offered in two configurations. The MOD 0 features a slim design, similar in size to the A1 and A2 pistol grips, while the MOD 1 features a high rise back strap for those of you with bigger hands or who like to get a higher grip on their gun. Additionally, it comes with two Modular Trigger Guard Inserts that fill that annoying gap between the trigger guard and the pistol grip. One version is extended and the other is smooth. The GFG also features a water resistant hinged trap door with rubber gasket that offers internal storage for batteries or other small items.
The GFG is available in Black, OD and Flat Dark Earth.
Last week, we mentioned Haley Strategic Partners’ new Disruptive Environments series of classes. The point of the training is to put a variety of your skills to the test in a more realistic and holistic environment.
HSP has just announced course dates. Visit the course calendar page and look for the course you are interested in. Subject matter varies.
It sounds pretty cool. You’re looking at application of fundamental skills in realistic situations. There’s no repetition here. There won’t be an instructor standing beside you telling you to tuck your elbow in or keep your eyes open. Think of it as an experience that will train the one thing rarely exercised on the range; your mind. This makes it a program for students who have a firm grasp of fundamentals and are ready for the next level of development.
Additionally, Haley Strategic Partners is offering civilian classes in addition to Military/LE only classes. Courses will be unique to the environments they are conducted in. The class may incorporate vehicle operations, CQB, problem solving and navigation in both daylight and darkness, tracking, survival, human interaction and more.
Just as soon as Haley Strategic Partners released their new Skimmer Trigger in conjunction with GlockTriggers.com, the controversy started. Travis Haley has prepared this video to explain what is going on with the Enhanced Carry Trigger System.
Setting out to give a 1911 trigger feel to a Glock, Travis Haley partnered with glocktriggers.com to develop the Skimmer. This Enhanced Carry Trigger System is a drop-in trigger manufactured from Glock factory parts which are individually hand polished to a chrome finish for consistent, reliable action giving you that crisp 1911 feel.
