Patent number: 11788813Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2019Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Triggermaster, LLCInventor: Malcom Baxter

Patent number: 10712116Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2015Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: TRIGGERMASTER, LLCInventors: Malcom Baxter, Steve Cretin

Patent number: 9728095Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2014Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: TriggerMaster, LLCInventor: Malcom Baxter

Patent number: 8911235Abstract: The invention is a trigger pull training device for improving trigger pull technique. The device has a frame with a trigger track opening and a trigger which goes through that opening. A proximity sensor or a plurality of proximity sensors are placed proximate the trigger track opening. The sensors are connected to an indicator whereby pulling the trigger such that the trigger is within the sensing zone causes the proximity sensor to emit a signal. A plurality of sensors can be lined along the trigger track opening to indicate the accuracy of any pull.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2013Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: TriggerMaster, Inc.Inventor: Malcom Baxter

Patent number: 8777620Abstract: 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 data allowing monitoring of the actual two-dimensional trigger pull path taken by the trigger during the trigger pull. The trigger pull path is graft on a predetermined map together with boundary lines representing a predetermined difference threshold from ideal trigger pull data. The system provides a way to monitor trigger pull path to determine whether the trigger has been pulled laterally and/or 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2012Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: TriggerMaster, Inc.Inventor: Malcom Baxter
