Just picked up a Sig 250 with both a 9mm and .22LR slide. It's my second time around for one of these. Had one a couple of years ago and was shooting my DA/SA pistols better so it went away. I decided I'd try one again. (Note: I have some DA/SA revolvers as well.)
So I did a bit more "research" on the 250 and found a leading You-Tubber (Nutnfancy?) propounding of the virtues of shooting this pistol by "staging" the trigger -- doing almost all the take up 'till just before it goes BANG, pausing, then doing the half-breath, getting serious about sight picture and squeezing off the rest of the trigger. Says it will dramatically improve accuracy. (I've not been to the range yet to give this a try out.)
I learned many years ago, and have always shot my DA/SA revolvers, with a correct sight picture and then constant squeeze till it goes off. Not "staging." And my revolvers (S&Ws and 2 Colts) are smooth enough for that to work. And on my DA/SA pistols, the first shot is a "regular" DA, no staging.
So here's my question: Wadda ya think about staging? Anyone tried it with a Sig 250 (or anything else)? Pro's and cons? I'll be giving it a try on my next range trip. And the 250's trigger is really smooth and I'd like to shoot it a bunch more to smooth it out some (it was barely shot when I got it).
