"Training" and "practice" are not the same thing — and confusing them is how shooters end up chasing the wrong upgrades. In this clip from Gun Owners Radio Ep. 513, Paul Markel (Student of the Gun) explains the difference, then takes on the aftermarket-trigger craze.
Covered:
• Training vs. practice — why you need an outside expert's eyes, not just reps
• How the shot timer went from useful tool to "monster"
• The Glock-trigger hate: why factory striker triggers are better than people think
• "You make a Glock trigger better by shooting it" — 500–1,000 rounds, not a parts swap
• The liability bomb: swap in an aftermarket trigger and you may void the warranty — and own every consequence if it fires when it shouldn't
