I recently acquired a dry fire training system. Due to constantly window shopping, I came across a good deal in a Sccy CPX-2 that I couldn’t pass up. I’ve seen some mixed reviews, but the resounding reputation of these pistols having a heavy trigger. In other words, difficult to shoot well with. Not impossible though and that comes down to training.
I don’t necessarily need this pistol, but I thought it would be good to train with, along with dry fire training using my edc. Glock 19. Plain Jane. She shoots better than I do.
So in the spirit of making things hard for myself I began taking a few shots. Dry fire. Maybe 30-40 or so. I don’t know. This is my hand. I am reluctant to bring this gun to the range, but I feel it is an adequate training tool.
Discuss.
I always train with what I carry. That’s especially true with dry fire. No matter what I bring to the range, my EDC is always a part of it.
My EDC is a 1911 because the trigger on a 1911 helps make me accurate. I’ve practiced quite a bit with DA/SA handguns that I own, but I just can’t get the same accuracy with that first shot as DA. If I spent a lot of time practicing with DA/SA, I’m sure I’d get better. But I’ve also noticed that if I spend time shooting something with that longer trigger press, then my finger gets used to it and starts “abusing” my 1911 trigger. I start losing accuracy on my EDC because my trigger finger starts looking for that longer trigger travel. Caliber is important also. 9mm is cheaper and I love shooting my Beretta 92, for example. But I carry .45acp so I make sure to get plenty of practice in shooting .45acp.
Make sure to get the reps in with your EDC and build that muscle memory.
Pretty off topic. But yeah.
Target acquisition regardless of which firearm is the general idea. I have two others in 9mm to train with as well.
I agree with you regarding getting better with any skill if you practice it enough.
My 1st pistols were DA/SA. I trained making the 1st shot DA and following up with SA. I thought I got pretty good at it and carried DA/SA for a while.
Then I changed to 1911 SA only and training and carrying SA only. I’ve done that for many years now. I don’t particularly remember the DA training negatively impacting my transition to SA only. I think the reason is, the trigger pull DA vs. SA is so different between the two. The DA pull has no take-up nor hitting a wall before break, i.e., it just kind of all rolls together until the hammer drops. Once the DA/SA hammer is cocked for SA, there is a very long take-up to a wall, and then the break.
I recently purchased a DA/SA revolver. My 1st trip to the range with it showed me I have lost that DA skill set! 
I think it’s just what I got used to on the 1911s with almost no take-up, a crisp break, and a very short reset before any subsequent shots. The trigger finger never needs to move more than about an 1/8" fwd & back. Then, after spending a lot of reps DA/SA with my Sig 220, I noticed my trigger finger was moving far more than it needed to when shooting my 1911s and I wasn’t getting the trigger on a consistent spot on the pad of my finger. Now I only use my Sig and Beretta in SA for target shooting. That Sig has a fantastic trigger though with a very short reset and crisp break.
It’s different for everyone though. I started noticing trigger finger movement in slo-mo videos of “pros”. Bill Wilson has a pretty good reputation as a shooter, especially with 1911s, and the amount he moves his trigger finger for each shot is like he’s shooting a DA revolver. He’s really accurate. But if I moved my trigger finger back-and-forth that much, my group size opens way up.
I definitely agree with training with your edc, but I just feel like I’d prefer to be able to adapt to whichever firearm adequately. Training training training. Reps are good too.
I have a sccy-1 . Trigger doesnt get better. Ive shot alot of rounds through it, its as reliable as my sig p228. Its not bad on that side. Accurate for its intended purpose.
But that damned trigger…
I carry 1911/2011 pistols with 4lb trigger. But for my dry fire practice (trigger press consistency and and multiple fast trigger pulls) I use DA/SA CZ P01 with 6lb trigger pull.
This small (2lb) difference gives me better feel of the trigger of my carry pistols. I don’t think anymore how much effort do I need to press the trigger. Also reset feels better. I’m guessing my finger became more sensitive once less work is required.
Don’t blame the gun.
(Wow, heard that before, haven’t we??)
Blame lack of skill building and “breaking in” your hand.
You don’t put on new boots then go run a mile the first day. Don’t put all your training into one day.
Those are cool firearms!
Nobody blamed a gun for anything.
You’re either grow a callous or a scab! JK. Just vet that firearm in case someday you end up having to depend on it.
Friends do not let friends own Glocks.
I might say that about the Sccy CPX-2
The Glocks look like the 1911’s had children who haven’t grown up to be 1911’s 
No, we buy Glocks on the road to Staccato’s
Parents and 3 adopted kids… 
This is the dead end…
