I'm really impressed by the slow motion, how little movement there is in the pistol during the roll in on double action. I would love an opportunity to learn from you as a student one day.
The first shot with DA/SA is the most critical. I take a deeper, trigger-finger "bite" on the trigger, very nearly at the first knuckle, then back to center pad for the following shots. Great video! Beautiful slow motion shots! Thank you.
This totally fixed my issues of shooting a few inches low with the HK USP9C in DA/SA. Literally on my first range trip after having seen this, "ROLL, PRESS," resulted in perfect shots well under an inch at 7-10 yards. I was amazed at the difference this made. Thanks, LAV!
I already shoot my 92 FS pretty well, but next time I take it to the range I'll try to be more conscientious of how I'm pulling the trigger, to see whether I already have this down instinctively, or can make improvements to my technique.
Wow! The high speed filming details on the trigger pulls...the recoil and follow through....good stuff and will try this out next trip to range with my all black M9A3. Thanks guys!
In surround sound the pistol igniting the round sounded like a car crash, followed by parts hitting the ground from across the room was the sound of the slide functioning. Very strange indeed.
Thanks. I watched another one of VT's videos of a rifle in slow motion making the same the same sounds, so yes I figured that out about ten minutes after writing what I did above.
Just this July I picked up my first Beretta and it's a 96a1. Great tips in this video and I'm getting better all the time. I'm just shy of a thousand rounds through my pistol so I've got a long ways to go. Made a few simple modifications only because I have neuropathy in my hands from chemotherapy years ago. Love my Beretta that's for sure.
Primarily the slide-mounted safety/decocker, which is honestly a legit complaint, but if you'll get the G variant it'll just be a minor annoyance instead of a serious safety issue.
The bad experiences with the M9 in the military is why for sure. I hated it as well thanks to worn out M9s I had experience with. Now, I own a new 92 and it is a great gun. I put Wilson Combat grips on it and it feels perfect!
Nice food for thought on DA/SA's. Great excuse to buy a new revolver, 1911 and a Beretta (for me the Beretta's DA to SA transition is the most controllable for me - has the same trigger location in SA just a lighter trigger press).
Great video. At the LAV class I did a couple years back Larry likened the double pull to rowing a boat. . . . When you put the oar in the water, you can stroke it fast or your can stroke is slow (haha) but you have to find a rhythm and once you start moving, you can't stop. When I shoot DA/SA I also make a point to feel out the break point in the trigger, because that is very similar in both da and sa. You can get acclimated to knowing where in the pull the trigger will break, regardless of where the trigger started from (i.e. DA long and heavy, or sa short and lighter).
This is something that I should really practice more often. I shoot 1911's & M&P's almost exclusively these days, but my first centerfire pistol was a Ruger P89. I don't shoot it much anymore, but when I do I have to really pay attention or that second shot gets away from me.
Thanks for the tips Larry. I just recently decided to start carrying da/sa about 2 months ago. I've been shooting for a few years now with many different pistols and I always had trouble with pulling shots off target with the some of the da/sa guns I had. Recently picked up a Beretta px4 storm compact. I will be taking this tips to the range this weekend.
Gadd Dang cool video Mr. Vickers! Keep rockin mate. I like the challenge the DA/SA setup like my little 226 gives you. Wish you could do a vickers inspired P226 with your input on the grips, trigger, sight setup! Would be a sweet one!
Been shooting d/s for most of my adult life. Good explanation of the two different trigger pulls. I actually sold Bill a beretta elite II a little while before they started sell there line of berettas. I miss that handgun. lol
I like to practice double taps. From the draw, two shots, first is DA second SA. It's gotten to the point I don't even notice it anymore, nor do my hits on target show it. I try to be fast but not so fast I lose the fluid motion. Thanks for the vid.
I've tried to teach this before but was told by firearm instructors either "My technique is to advanced for the class" or "They should just get a Glock" When I draw, and grip the weapon in both hands, my left hand thumbs off the safety while my right thumb cock the hammer. The safety is off and my hammer is back in single action. The counter was "What if they are to close to get both hands on the weapon and up in front of you?" Then double action doesn't matter anyway if we're talking elbow distance away, just squeeze through!
Seriously?!?? The slow motion starting at 1:45 shows a double action trigger pull being executed without any discernible movement of the barrel. I want to be this guy when I grow up.
No re strike capability with glock that's why my edc is hammer fired ,great video Larry I had to learn the hard way with my cz 75 compact hundreds of rounds down range . What I could have learned from you in 3min lol! K
I know this is 6 months ago , is that trigger tuned buy Wilson . I ask because it's a dramatic difference specially with single and double action. Thanks great tip as usual, any info I can get from you. Is only a plus. Thanks again
Any reason you keep taking your finger completely off the trigger and between Trigger process? I thought you were supposed to release the trigger until the point of reset only.
I always like every single training presentation on all your instructions, would you correct me if I am wrong; can i use this same presentation on a revolver...any frame/caliber.....
Great advice. Thanks. But, I wonder if Wilson Combat can make a smooth DAO trigger and eliminate the safety and SA all together. Basically, can they build the perfect 92D?
And you have to train/practice at it to be automatically able to do that in a high stress shooting. Good explanation of the known mechanical difference. But, that's why I've always thought that GLOCK triggers are one of the best COMBAT triggers in the world. (Looking at you pink kitty boy!) Not too strong, not too soft, good reset and mostly consistent after break-in/shooting, or polish job. And that's why everyone has copied them. And even though the US Army missed the boat again on acquiring the original and still awesome Austrian innovation, those who want known performance reach for BLOCK.
i think it just looks exaggerated because of slo mo. You want reliable reset, and not to short stroke the trigger, right? Maybe a balance between efficiency and reliability
Hey Larry..Love your video's..Question: I have noticed in several training videos of the russians. A lot of them in pistol cq and reaction drills, russians always seem to discharge one or two rounds, immediately into the dirt upon drawing their sidearm...Why...would it be to get the weapon from double to single action for precise shots???Intimidation??? Trying to wrap my head around that and that's all I can come up with..Help me out.. Thanks
Larry, what do you think about the Press Out method where you start your trigger roll once your gun is in line with the target and at a high compressed ready position so the shot breaks when you get to full extension and the sights are aligned?
Richard I just took a class a few weeks back with my P226 DA/SA and the instructor said that is a good way to train IF your target is isolated with little or no chance of hitting a friendly, but if you need a presicion shot, do not start pressing the trigger until properly sighted in.
I'm in law enforcement and I use the Beretta and I'll tell you one thing that's a damn good gun I've been in two situations and at work very good and I also started carrying a 40 bread which is good they're all great guns and my next door neighbor sold me his Italian Beretta stainless steel and stainless steel and black also because he needed extra cash for $300 I think it's a damn good bargain that's it that sucker and the shooting range very good I had a guy trying to buy it off for me for 1500 I told him no
Good tip. I am competing in an Army pistol competition next month with my M9. I see guys cheating all the time at weapon qual cocking the hammer back so that first shot is SA.
I've had EXTENSIVE training with DA/SA pistols, and this is probably the most valuable tip I've ever heard.
That is the coolest slow-mo gun footage!
I'm really impressed by the slow motion, how little movement there is in the pistol during the roll in on double action. I would love an opportunity to learn from you as a student one day.
The first shot with DA/SA is the most critical. I take a deeper, trigger-finger "bite" on the trigger, very nearly at the first knuckle, then back to center pad for the following shots. Great video! Beautiful slow motion shots! Thank you.
Best transitional trigger pull video ever! Love the slo-mo action, well done Mr. Vickers.
This totally fixed my issues of shooting a few inches low with the HK USP9C in DA/SA.
Literally on my first range trip after having seen this, "ROLL, PRESS," resulted in perfect shots well under an inch at 7-10 yards.
I was amazed at the difference this made. Thanks, LAV!
Well said Larry. This works really well with helping or assisting Glock to SIG DA/SA shooters. Roll DA/Press SA. Very well done.
There are many double-action/single-action pistols out there. This is extremely simple, useful info. Thank you LAV.
I already shoot my 92 FS pretty well, but next time I take it to the range I'll try to be more conscientious of how I'm pulling the trigger, to see whether I already have this down instinctively, or can make improvements to my technique.
The slow motions shots are by far the best one seen on as gun channel. very nice
Wow! The high speed filming details on the trigger pulls...the recoil and follow through....good stuff and will try this out next trip to range with my all black M9A3. Thanks guys!
Hands like a rock. Comes with millions of rounds of experience. I'm on my way there though...
That slow motion sounds are just as awesome as the visuals! great video team Vickers
I come back to this video frequently. Thanks
High speed is breath taking as usual!
In surround sound the pistol igniting the round sounded like a car crash, followed by parts hitting the ground from across the room was the sound of the slide functioning. Very strange indeed.
Steve Yulenburg these sounds are artificially added...
Thanks. I watched another one of VT's videos of a rifle in slow motion making the same the same sounds, so yes I figured that out about ten minutes after writing what I did above.
Steve Yulenburg say it ain't so, say it ain't so Joe

Great training tip, Larry.
Sir, I appreciate this teaching video and your knowledge shared! Thank you.
why do people hate on Beretta 92s? such a great pistol
jorysiler the M9 is the reason. The Military guys that have had to use it fucking hate, this guy included.
Primarily the slide-mounted safety/decocker, which is honestly a legit complaint, but if you'll get the G variant it'll just be a minor annoyance instead of a serious safety issue.
The 92S sucks... the mag release is located on the bottom...
The location of the safety and activation and its to fat
The bad experiences with the M9 in the military is why for sure. I hated it as well thanks to worn out M9s I had experience with. Now, I own a new 92 and it is a great gun. I put Wilson Combat grips on it and it feels perfect!
Nice food for thought on DA/SA's. Great excuse to buy a new revolver, 1911 and a Beretta (for me the Beretta's DA to SA transition is the most controllable for me - has the same trigger location in SA just a lighter trigger press).
??? The DA trigger pull for a Beretta starts way further out than the single-action pull, as with any DA/SA auto, or DA revolver.
That pistol doesn't move at all when he works the trigger. God tier.
Great video. At the LAV class I did a couple years back Larry likened the double pull to rowing a boat. . . . When you put the oar in the water, you can stroke it fast or your can stroke is slow (haha) but you have to find a rhythm and once you start moving, you can't stop.

I love to see Larry start doing a reliability test with pistols like the test Mac does.
Beautiful Beretta and great advice. It’s much appreciated.
Just got me a Beretta M9A1. Great video. Definitely going to train more using this video as a reference. Also great slow motion camera action!
thanks for the pointers Larry!
I'm a simple man, I see a new Vickers video I press like before I watch it.
Very good instruction. THANKS!!
Thanks for the refresher (roll then press ) got it !!
so basically adapt to the trigger and stop whining
Or do what the army did, get rid of those and use striker fire gun. Variety is definitely a spice of life.
Kenzaki1010 yes, because the Army, like the FBI, is the standard of excellence. 🙄
Basically, yeah. I think a lot of people overthink the DA/SA.
@@Kenzaki1010 The army never adopted striker fire for conventional forces
@@dethofgod666 SIG M17 is striker fire
Thanks for the tips Larry. I just recently decided to start carrying da/sa about 2 months ago.

Jordan Burchett look up Ernest Langdon "fear not the double action shot" then do tons of dry fire.
Gadd Dang cool video Mr. Vickers! Keep rockin mate. I like the challenge the DA/SA setup like my little 226 gives you. Wish you could do a vickers inspired P226 with your input on the grips, trigger, sight setup! Would be a sweet one!
i think i'm liking the fundamentals or tips and tricks versus new videos on different firearms. obviously i'll take both though.
That over-cranked footage is money
Great video Larry well explained.
Been shooting d/s for most of my adult life. Good explanation of the two different trigger pulls. I actually sold Bill a beretta elite II a little while before they started sell there line of berettas. I miss that handgun. lol
Nice tip it helped me out on my trigger pull

Thanks Larry, your a beast.
great job Sgt Vickers
I think he was a SGM not SGT 😁
Quality as always. Thank you.
Great tips on a awesome gun.
Bustin caps with Vickers Tac
Drill advice at the end is great. . .it's all great. love me sk.e da/sa!
I am brazilian.
very good video. :)
very great job keep it up
Hope you are doing well Larry

Bring back the Goatee
Very informative
Nice Rolex.
Which model?
Appears to be a black face Explorer 2
That is definitely not a submariner. I believe William Sack is right. Black dial Explorer 2.
Definitely an Explorer II. He had a Submariner for a while, if I recall.
is that a steel or aluminum frame ? is it an all steel gun?
Thank you
thanks for your service ! love the content . you should show us some hand combat they taught you in delta force . :)
Beretta my favorite pistol
what color glasses are they that you are using
Thanks
You have great content!
awesome
So with a striker fired would I just worry about "pressing"?
Seriously?!?? The slow motion starting at 1:45 shows a double action trigger pull being executed without any discernible movement of the barrel. I want to be this guy when I grow up.
Mr Vickers, which would you choose. P226 or 92FS?
No movement in the gun when he pulls the trigger DA or SA, he is a great shooter.
Awesome!
Bravo
*Sick Gameplay*
Should a glock be shot as a double action per se, since it has a double action trigger?
No re strike capability with glock that's why my edc is hammer fired ,great video Larry I had to learn the hard way with my cz 75 compact hundreds of rounds down range . What I could have learned from you in 3min lol! K
thanks from Brasil
I know this is 6 months ago , is that trigger tuned buy Wilson . I ask because it's a dramatic difference specially with single and double action. Thanks great tip as usual, any info I can get from you. Is only a plus. Thanks again
I used this video to illustrate shooting with both eyes open can be done. My wife did not think it could be done.
Its Hammer Time
Was that trigger tuned , do think it's worth the 135.00 . ? Great info thanks
Any reason you keep taking your finger completely off the trigger and between Trigger process? I thought you were supposed to release the trigger until the point of reset only.
When you shoot fast it is normal to do so - your brain over compensates the reset
Could you do a video on the ASh-12.7?
I always like every single training presentation on all your instructions, would you correct me if I am wrong; can i use this same presentation on a revolver...any frame/caliber.....
Great advice. Thanks. But, I wonder if Wilson Combat can make a smooth DAO trigger and eliminate the safety and SA all together. Basically, can they build the perfect 92D?
seekertwo1 it my understanding that you can have Wilson do an Action Tune to this pistol and bring the DA to about 6 and a half to 7 pounds
best slow motion in da business people
im not a gun guy. but whats wrong with pressing on double action?
And you have to train/practice at it to be automatically able to do that in a high stress shooting. Good explanation of the known mechanical difference. But, that's why I've always thought that GLOCK triggers are one of the best COMBAT triggers in the world. (Looking at you pink kitty boy!)

And even though the US Army missed the boat again on acquiring the original and still awesome Austrian innovation, those who want known performance reach for BLOCK.
Is it possible to have an ar style gun supressed with an m320 or m203 style grenade launcher under it?
Assistindo do Brasil, the best single action ok!
Ultra slow motion never gets old.
Surprised to see that Larry slaps the trigger like that and thought he would ride the reset much tighter. What his reasoning is for that?
i think it just looks exaggerated because of slo mo. You want reliable reset, and not to short stroke the trigger, right? Maybe a balance between efficiency and reliability
Larry, Do you ride the trigger back to the reset or move your finger out of the way?
Hey Larry..Love your video's..Question: I have noticed in several training videos of the russians. A lot of them in pistol cq and reaction drills, russians always seem to discharge one or two rounds, immediately into the dirt upon drawing their sidearm...Why...would it be to get the weapon from double to single action for precise shots???Intimidation???

Holy 4k

I've been pressing instead of rolling the first double action shot on my CZ75.
Son semiautomaticas las pistolas esas
that is a cool gun
Love the fucking slow motion
Hi
Good tip. I am competing in an Army pistol competition next month with my M9. I see guys cheating all the time at weapon qual cocking the hammer back so that first shot is SA.
I'm just curious how many rounds Larry has put down range in his life so I can be jealous😂
Do y'all give people classes for a gun license
damm I just keep trigger pulled with safety on just ready to fire
Carry gun with trigger cocked and locked with the safety on
🤔but I can with my FNX and Springfield 1911😂
