I am considering a new handgun purchase. Right now, I am leaning heavily toward the Sig-Sauer P365XL. As such, I have been reading and watching a lot of reviews. Nearly everyone who reviews a gun has a range session included in the video. Nearly everyone also releases the trigger completely between shots. I was trained, and still practice that you release ONLY TO THE RESET. Ok, this does not apply to DAO pistols or most revolvers, granted. On striker fired, or SAO pistols it seems idiotic to release the trigger completely. To my way of shooting, and my experience, I can get more shots off, more quickly, and more accurately if I just release to the reset. Completely releasing the trigger leaves me with 'first-shot' dynamics for every shot, increases tendency to jerk/snap the trigger, slows me down, and worst of all, decreases accuracy.
Am I doing it wrong? Are there good reasons to completely release the trigger between rounds? I have never had to shoot in a high-stress threat situation. I have noticed that most/all of the reviewers who do a mag dump, and hit what they are shooting at, only release to reset. Opinions/experience please.
