The best use of a laser grip is dry fire practice. It is impossible to dry-fire too much.
My wife was rough at first but we got her a Tactical length 9mm with a 5 inch barrel and she steadied right up. Get a gun that fits her hands but isn’t too small and then dry fire the heck out of it. Also get GOOD hearing protection. The louder the bang the harder it is to steady the your nerves.
“It will not help trigger control”
It will if you watch the laser while you dryfire dryfire dryfire.
Best. Training aid. Ever.
Dry firing the pistol with snap caps is the key.
I have 10,500 dry fires on one of my pistols. Rock steady aim and accurate at 15 and 25 yards.
And at some point the cycling smoothed out the action. Maybe 600 cycles. Your basic trigger job done for free.
It may help, but only while she is using it INMO.
LOL! Wow! I’ve got her 6!
Your phrase “Define Accurate” made me laugh.
I was pushed forward and told to aim carefully and fire. I was quite nervous, but did as ordered. I pressed the firing button, and was very shamed as I missed by FIVE feet.
“Good shot, son”, I was told. WHAT?
“Kid, you missed the target by FIVE feet at 1000 yards with a 5”38, 54 pound high explosive shell. Believe me, that’s pretty d—n good. You put a hell of a hole in whatever you would have hit”.
My very first and my very last try. The gunner in charge of the director kept the fun part to himself.
Thank you for my new desktop background image.....
Personal experience is that most trigger control issues are related to flinching. I don’t know anything that fixes that better than firing rounds, lots of them.
YMMV.
Firing lots can build up the muscle memory of the flinch. Dry fire builds up trigger pull muscle memory with no distractions.
I don’t like lasers for new shooters. If you haven’t grasped the fundamentals of shooting, the little red dot tends to mesmerize the shooter and they “chase” it all over the target trying to fire when it crosses the bullseye.
An trick practiced by Ed McGivern (look him up) was to put a dot of red pain on a full size mirror and practice holding the muzzle on it and dry firing. That teaches you to manipulate the trigger without disturbing the sights/gun.
OK, did not read article but is this about the fine backside?
