    How do you shoot a "double tap"?

    I get asked this question millions of times. Here is my take on the "double tap":

    Yes, that is a nearly stock Taurus PT1911.

    That man hit the nail on the head. I sure couldn't explain it any better. Thanks for the info.

    Hi

    A 1911 has an amazingly fast cycle time.

    I think he's practiced that move more than just once or twice ....

    Thanks for sharing this! This is basically how I was taught to shoot a semi-auto, though I'm rusty enough right now that there's a longer pause between the shots. You've inpsired me to practice more...there goes my ammo budget!

    Lurper. I suspect that you're the 'star' of the videos you are posting here - but you haven't said so in any of your posts - I'd like to know for sure...

    FWIW, I've spent enough time on the lecture platform to recognize a superior presentation when I see it - and the 'double tap' mini-lecture is tops - and without the aid of Powerpoint, too!

    Thanks for the compliments guys!
    Yes I am in fact the handsome devil in the videos.
    The range for the double tap video is 10 yards.
    I posted a couple of other videos, check them out if you haven't. I will post more in the next couple of days.
