Handgun Training: Double Taps, Hammers and Controlled Pairs

[@dannyorr8430]

Controlled pair: Aligning the sights twice as fast as possible and pulling the trigger only after seeing the sights line up on the A zone
Double tap/hammer: Aligning the sights once, pulling the trigger twice as fast as possible, with proper grip and fundamentals the bullets should group pretty tight

Exactly, this is the proper description of a double tap / hammer vs a controlled pair. Not what the instructor claimed. The third would be a dedicated pair.

Useful info without the extra BS. Thank you!!!!

[@Ranger42]

Excellent instructional video.

[@ObsidiansArms]

I agree that the end result is the same, or at least should be. That said, the techniques involved to perform a hammer, double tap, or controlled pair are slightly different.

In the Army I was thought the double tap like this.
Draw your weapon once the gun is about chest high you point and shoot then bring it up all the way and aim and shoot. You do this very quickly.

You forgot the most important point. 3 distinct sight pictures. You should get 3 distinct sight pictures when executing a controlled pair as your method of engagement.

Sometimes you find a short and efficient video that you wished was actually longer. 😅

[@sammyg5235]

Seems like a lot of bs to accomplish the same thing. Draw, fire two shots. Done

[@vladimirtsvetanov4895]

you are not a very good shooter

This guy does not know what he's talking about.
