Think DA/SA, "DAO just won't cut it". This comment brought to you by Sig Sauer, manufacturers of fine previously owned pistols. *Cough* We take time from your regularly scheduled blog post to remind you that DA/SA automatics are still available, and work just like DA revolvers for practice.

I've begun walking around and looking at each stage and using Steve Anderson's Stage Analysis sheets prior to handing in my card for each run, and it makes a difference. I offload the strategery portion of the COF to the stage sheet, and concentrate on the mechanics of the shoot as I run it. Seems to be working. Every time I've used it, I've shot the match clean.

On almost any gun, except the GLOCK, there is enough reset where it simulates the trigger pull anyway. Pete Milionis' advice with the GLOCK was to either put <a href="http://www.mcsa56.org/SiteEntryView?id=a0N80000001KyQXEA0" rel="nofollow">the cardboard slot in the slide</a> or just forget about it... On another topic, I think that "Oh Crap!" moment is more indicative of 1.) unawareness of what your gun is doing and 2.) the fact that you have no plan when shooting a stage and don't have an idea of what you're doing.
