E-Trainers are model-specific; there\u2019s one for every Glock except the 42. I\u2019ve been using ones that fit models 19 and 43.<\/p>\n<p>Amongst new shooters there are almost always some which find dry fire practice can be slightly detrimental when they get a loaded pistol in their hands, as the memory of racking the slide to reset the trigger becomes something of a habit. Yes, I\u2019ve explained that the gun does that without human help when loaded, but in the avalanche of information that is my state\u2019s concealed carry course, that little fact can be forgotten.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/lrc-cdn\/assets\/2018\/04\/IMG_7631.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-678699 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/lrc-cdn\/assets\/2018\/04\/IMG_7631.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"601\" height=\"338\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>The view from the back of the E-Trainer.

Technology is good, but we\u2019re not there yet. What this little clip does do is give the shooter a steady, constant pull weight from the front to the rear of a full trigger press. It\u2019s repeatable with no other manipulation required.\u00a0 What it doesn\u2019t offer is any differentiation between slack, break, and reset.\u00a0 It\u2019s just a smooth press, of about five pounds by my rough estimation.<\/p>\n<p>E-Trainer is short for easy trainer and any implications of the usual \u201celectronic\u201d inference of the letter&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lewrockwell.com\/2018\/04\/no_author\/dry-fire-training-rack-free\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever seen a new shooter frustrated by the need to rack the slide to practice the art of the trigger press?
