I have many pistols with modified triggers that make the trigger pull softer and easier. Including some striker fired pistols and double action revolvers.
I have recently acquired a S&W Model 25 in 45 Colt with a stock trigger. My first range outing with it shocked me how out of shape my trigger finger is. At 7 and 10 yards, I was able to get effective self defense groups, but not very tight groups. I just never knew when the gun was going to go off. It was not being controlled by me.
I spent this evening dry firing this revolver maybe 500 times to rebuild the strength in my trigger fingers and to ensure that my trigger fingers were not related to the grip of either hand.
I have re-affirmed my belief that dry firing a heavy pull, double action revolver is the best way to train for trigger control of all types of pistols and triggers.
Plus the mechanical parts of the Model 25 have been smoothed out to some degree.
