I have a different opinion on this topic. To me trigger prep is part of your trigger press in a purely defensive situation. While trigger prep as part of the draw stroke is a great idea when you have already decided you need to get shots off, always prepping the trigger as part of the draw stroke AND you do not have a clear go/no-go for shots needed is risking unintended shots. Additionally, training the mind to not put a finger on the trigger when you do not have both hands available also limits the scope of your training scenarios. What if your other arm is incapacitated or tied up in blocking/defending?
First time watching. You mentioned the trigger wall, I’m not familiar with the term, please explain. I have a Glock 9, with what I call the double trigger (safety?). I also have a S&W M&P 9 Shield. In each case how do I prevent an inadvertant discharge when trying to reach the wall in a stress cituation. Thanks
