    9-MM PISTOL
    OPERATION
    The M9 pistol has a short recoil system using a falling locking
    block. The pressure developed by the expanding gases of a
    fired round recoils the slide and barrel assembly. After a short
    run, the locking block is disengaged from the slide, the barrel
    stops against the frame, and the slide continues its rearward
    movement. The slide then extracts and ejects the fired
    cartridge case, cocks the hammer, and compresses the recoil
    spring. The slide moves forward feeding the cartridge from the
    magazine into the chamber. The slide and barrel assembly
    remain open after the last cartridge has been fired and ejected.
    9-MM PISTOL
    PHASES OF TRAINING
    Marksmanship training is divided into two phases:
    preparatory marksmanship training ( PMI ) and
    range firing.

    All marksmanship training must be progressive.

    Combat marksmanship techniques should be


    practiced after the basics have been mastered.
    9-MM PISTOL
    FUNDAMENTALS
    The main use of the 9-MM semi-automatic
    pistol is to engage an enemy at close range
    with quick, accurate fire.

    Accurate shooting results from knowing


    and correctly applying the elements of
    preparatory marksmanship training.
    9-MM PISTOL
    FUNDAMENTALS
    The elements of combat pistol marksmanship are:

    • Grip
    • Aiming
    • Breath control
    • Trigger squeeze
    • Target engagement
    • Positions
    9-MM PISTOL
    FUNDAMENTALS
    GRIP
    The weapon must become an extension of
    the hand and arm. It should replace the
    finger in pointing at an object. A firm,
    uniform grip must be applied to the
    weapon. A proper grip is one of the most
    important fundamentals of firing the 9MM
    Pistol.
    9-MM PISTOL GRIPS

    • ONE HAND GRIP

    • FIST GRIP
    9-MM PISTOL GRIPS

    • PALM SUPPORTED GRIP

    • WEAVER GRIP
    9-MM PISTOL
    FUNDAMENTALS
    AIMING
    Aiming is sight alignment and sight placement, sight alignment is the
    centering of the front blade in the rear sight notch. Sight placement
    is the positioning of the weapon’s sights in relation to the target as
    seen by the firer when he/she aims the weapon.

    A correct sight picture consists of correct sight alignment with the


    front sight placed center mass of the target.
    9-MM PISTOL
    FUNDAMENTALS
    BREATH CONTROL
    The firer must learn to hold his/her breath properly at any time
    during the breathing cycle if he/she wishes to attain accuracy that
    will serve him/her in combat.

    This must be done while aiming and squeezing the trigger.


    9-MM PISTOL
    FUNDAMENTALS
    TRIGGER SQUEEZE
    Improper trigger squeeze causes more misses than any other
    step of preparatory marksmanship. Poor shooting is caused
    by the aim being disturbed before the bullet leaves the barrel
    of the weapon. This is usually the result of the firer jerking
    the trigger or flinching. To apply correct trigger squeeze, the
    trigger finger should contact the trigger between the tip of the
    finger to the second joint (without touching the weapon
    anywhere else).
    NOTE: The trigger squeeze of the 9-MM pistol, when fired in the
    single-action mode, is 5.50 pounds; when fired in double-action
    mode, it is 12.33 pounds.
    9-MM PISTOL
    FUNDAMENTALS
    TARGET ENGAGEMENT
    Firers engage two types of targets, single targets and multiple
    targets. When engaging multiple targets the firer should engage
    the closest and most dangerous target first.
    In combat the firer should fire two rounds when completing
    target engagement, this is commonly referred to as a double-tap.

    Common Target Engagement Problems:


    •Recoil Anticipation
    •Trigger Jerk
    •Heeling
    9-MM PISTOL
    FUNDAMENTALS
    POSITIONS
    The qualification course is fired from the standing, kneeling,
    crouch and prone firing positions. All firing positions must be
    practiced so they become natural movements, during qualification
    and actual combat firing. Though these positions seem natural,
    practice sessions must be conducted to ensure the habitual
    attainment of correct firing positions. Assuming correct firing
    positions ensures that soldiers can quickly assume these positions
    without a conscious effort.

    9-MM Pistol marksmanship requires a soldier to rapidly apply all


    the fundamentals at dangerously close targets while under stress.
    Assuming a proper position to allow for a steady aim is critical to
    survival on the battlefield.
