Abstract: A firearm system for monitoring the displacement of a firearm trigger during a trigger pull includes a firearm body including a handle and a barrel attached to the handle. A trigger is attached to the firearm body, and a position input circuit is attached to the trigger. The position input circuit emits a trigger position signal including information representative of the trigger displacement. The firearm body is in wired or wireless communication with an electronic device. The electronic device can include a monitor, or screen, for graphically displaying a trigger position indicator representative of the displacement of the trigger along one or more axes. The firearm body can include a motion sensing circuit generally adapted to detect motion of the firearm body. The motion sensing circuit can include one or more accelerometers or gyroscopes.
Abstract: An attachment firearm training device (10) for attachment to a firearm, firearm simulator, or firearm replica having a firearm body (12) includes motion detection hardware to acquire data associated with motion of the firearm body during a dry-firing or live-firing training session. The motion detection hardware includes one or more accelerometers and/or one or more gyroscopes. Other suitable motion detection hardware may also be included. A motion signal representative of actual movement of the firearm body is used to generate one or more motion path lines that are displayed on a display. Each motion path line is representative of the actual motion of the firearm body before a shot, during a shot, during recoil, and/or after recoil so a user may analyze whether desired motion of the firearm body is actually being achieved.

Abstract: A firearm training system provides a firearm body having a trigger and a trigger pull sensor circuit. When the trigger is pulled, the trigger pull sensor circuit provides trigger pull path data allowing monitoring of the actual two-dimensional trigger pull path taken by the trigger during the trigger pull. The trigger pull path is graphed on a predetermined map. The system provides a way to monitor trigger pull path to determine whether the trigger has been pulled laterally and/or if the firearm body has moved with respect to a longitudinal axis of the firearm body during the trigger pull. By repeatedly monitoring trigger pulls using the system, a user can train to improve trigger pull technique.
