    I'm considered an advanced shooter, and I often watch videos like these to see if there's any new knowledge that I can adopt that I may have missed out on. Usually, I dont come across anything new that I havent seen before. Ive tried out the minor thumb detail at 2:05 for the past few days of shooting. Just that tiny detail has actually helped mitigate recoil even more, and I noticed my sights returning to the same spot quicker during follow up shots. Just goes to show you, no matter how advanced you are, you're always a student.

      Yesterday, I was at the range trying to figure out why the he11 my shot keeps going towards the left of the target. So I was trying different options and one of the options I tried was to use my left thumb and push against the pistol when I pull the trigger. I was so excited because I can now feel that I am controlling the pistol. My aim was on point and looking forward to go back to the range tomorrow. 2:05 provides me confirmation.

      I'm intermediate _at best_. My draw to guns has always been more a hobbyist/collector thing. After decades of plinking into trash I decided to focus on what really matters. To new shooters: Don't do what I did.

    I went to the range again today since I had to stop my abruptly stop my practice yesterday. After shooting my Ruger American Competition 9mm, Ruger American .45, and Sig Sauer P320, the Range Safety Officer came over to me and gave me a complement, saying that I have really improved and my shot groupings were great. He encouraged me to increase the target distance and make sure I use the same principles, The same principles I learned by watching this video. Thank you sir for your instructions. I've really improved because of the training from this video.

    My father never got into handguns until the last few years. After getting comfortable behind the gun, my first and only grip lesson was to empty and clear a gun and told him to keep the gun pointed at the target. He had a good enough starting grip. I grabbed the muzzle and started twisting, torquing, pulling, etc the front of the gun. He tightened up his grip, and the rest of his upper body posture. There's your grip. Most people are under-gripping or neglecting the "full body" picture in their grip dynamic.

    • @m.loughlin1915
      @m.loughlin1915 Год назад

      Yeah. I'm old school. But I'm fast and I never miss.
      I'm looking at another YT "Expert/Instructor".
      Question.........What moron came up with the idea of what is essentially a thumbless grip on a pistol? I'm a human, not an ape. Human beings have opposing thumbs for a reason.
      Way back about 50 years ago, I started what would be a long and satisfying relationship with the HANDGUN.........NOT the handSgun.
      My chief influence and mentor was a man, whose name I won't mention, because you current generation of nancy-boy gun slobs wouldn't know him anyway. At any rate, he was a national pistol champion for several years in addition to a distinguished career with the U.S. Border Patrol in the early to middle part of the last century. He engaged in numerous firefights with drug smugglers and human traffickers, in which he is personally responsible for sending at least 30 men to their graves. This is a matter of record. I can say with absolute certainly that this old fellow, who lived into his 90s, would laugh his @$$ off at these "modern technique" fluff-balls who advocate all this H○r$€$%iT.
      So, go ahead, all you beta male, soy-boy metrosexual "peaceful warriors". Shoot your silly little steel plates and barn door size silhouettes with your delicate, tricked out pseudo 1911s, plastic squirt-gun looking 9mms and prissy little ARs, and continue to delude yourself that you're ready for things to come. Guys like me who actually know our stuff will pull your fat out of the fire.
      Pleasant dreams, Fluffy.
      So......How do you like me so far?

    Wow. Today I learned I’ve been using the wrong grip for years lol. Immediately decided to go to the range since I had my afternoon free and boy did it make a difference.
    Feels pretty different than I’m used to so my groupings aren’t really improved or anything, but it’s faster from draw to sight acquired, and I can shoot faster with the added stability.
    Thanks so much for this! I feel a whole lot more prepared.

    I’ve been shooting for over 20 years, not a professional or anything like by any stretch, but have to say this is an excellent video on grip. Grip is more important, in, my opinion than other components of shooting. A strong consistent grip will result in consistent groupings as long as you aim at the target!

    I could not for the life of me figure out why I was shooting my new P320 Legion low and to the right (I am a left handed shooter). I was positive I was not anticipating recoil and was about to start tinkering with the sights ready to blame the gun (I should have known better). When the video hit the 2:08 mark I knew this was the fix I was looking for, and all it cost me was a like and subscribe (and a small hit to the ego).. but I'll live and get back on target.

The way I grip my handgun is at about 95% close to what you mentioned as a good grip, I guess just missing that 5% could be night and day difference. I'll do as you suggested the next time I go to the range. Thanks for such a great video on grip.
