The second part of the stroke is the trigger return or reset. The golf equivalent of this is the follow-through, a term which I like very much but haven’t yet worked into my teaching lexicon. The return resets the trigger back to the forward-most position, ready for another compression.

The return is incredibly important and just as incredibly ignored. Many revolver shooters and experts have said that the trigger return is at least as important as the compression, and with this I am in total agreement. I’ve found that attention paid to the return pays dividends in consistent shooting.

A trigger stroke, then, is one full movement of the trigger – a compression and a return. I urge you to banish the word ‘pull’ from your revolver vocabulary. Let the autoloader shooters deal with it!

A proper trigger stroke - key to good shooting

Once the decision to fire has been made, the trigger is compressed smoothly, evenly, and straight backwards until the round ignites. The compression should be consistent in speed, neither slowing down or speeding up, and the trigger should be in constant motion until the gun fires. Don’t stop or even slow down once the compression has started; keep the trigger finger moving until the gun fires. This keeps any deviant or ‘steering’ pressure on the gun constant, which is easier to compensate for than pressure which constantly changes.
