Educational Zone #61 - Thunder Ranch, Defensive Shotgun Class - Page 5
The semi-auto I shot has an after market safety, a Vang, that is a large ball and easier to feel. We were taught to push it with the middle of our trigger finger like this.
Believe it or not, Clint said he has actually seen a few people reach through the trigger guard to push it back "On".
It is easy to see why this is a very bad idea. Instead, reach under the trigger guard and reset it with your thumb or middle finger, like this.
Here's Clint watching me burn up some birdshot. He recommends birdshot for practice, as it is cheaper and the main thing you need to practice is manipulation, not accuracy.
Fire, smoke, noise, recoil, and blood. How you gonna beat it?
