I had a similar issue my hands are very large I’m 6’4” 245lbs. I got a beaver tail they had for this gun on eBay and it made a big difference. My grip is better and no more slide bite which I get w all my Glocks
Thanks, Matt! I have that issue with my Shield. I too took out the X-ring with my first shot with my Shield, but then things started to go south from there. This explains to a degree my inconsistency. Also, I'll be more aware to make sure that there's no gap with my trigger finger against the frame. Miss the Sunday chats! I hope all is well! 😎👍🏻🇺🇸💥
Thanks for sharing. Did you shift your finger/pad placement? Did you shift your hand/grip placement? Did you do both? Hey, I get the general idea but seemed like you did not want to drill down in your explanation.
Can you explain exactly how you're adjusting your grip? I've had similar issues. Undoubtedly I'll be crucified in the comments for saying this, but I've adjusted to shoot my G42 using the middle of the second segment of my finger. Immediately all the pulling left and wobbling disappeared, my group sizes halved, and moved from left to center. I shoot absolutely every other gun the traditional way with the pad of my first joint, but with these pocket guns I'm not having any success. That gap you're talking about between your hand/trigger finger and the side of the gun... I could practically fit a pack of cigarettes in there shooting the traditional way. Shooting this other way it's snug and I have a good grip and can pull cleanly straight back. I've tried rotating my grip to close up that gap but it just gets ridiculous. At some point I feel like I have to hold the gun 45 degrees crooked just to eliminate that gap. Those experiments were total failures.
I feel when your finger is all the way in the tg & your using the middle of your finger that's it's easier to isolate the trigger finger without moving your middle ring & pinky fingers just my thoughts though
Are you advocating deeper insertion of the trigger finger into the trigger guard to obtain proper alignment? It seems impossible to achieve proper trigger finger alignment without changing the contact point between the trigger finger and the trigger. I have found it necessary when shooting my Glock 43 to make trigger contact with my trigger finger closer to the joint in order to achieve proper alignment and I have not sacrificed accuracy by doing so. It just seems necessary as I have large hands and the 43 is a relatively short grip. I am not sure what you mean by making a "slight adjust" to your grip. Thanks.....I enjoy your videos. Jack
Everybody's hands are different, and as you stated, the grip on the Glock 43 is short. What I meant by 'slight adjustment' is that a lot of people don't achieve the right grip angle to begin with, and it really shows up more in a smaller pistol like the G43. When it comes to placement of the trigger finger, you have to put it where it works for you. If that means going to the distal joint, so be it.
If I understand Matt, be consistant in your trigger finger placement as memory for straight back trigger pull is imparitive. I have normal hands with long fingers and no meat in my hand for gripping. So, replicating that trigger finger either on the pad or closer to the joint has little bearing other than trying to be consistant between frame sizes like from G26 to my G42. With little realestate it can be challenging at times.
Please, I want to know the best way to make the hand steady while shooting with one handPlease, I want to know the best way to make the hand steady while shooting with one hand
I've seen some people do that, but I wouldn't recommend it. To make certain that your sights are aligned properly to begin with, I'd test fire it from a bench rest to see how it groups using your normal sight picture.
Glock 43 made for small heand so if your heand big go with 26 or 29 my heand smail same size of women size or big a little so glock 43 fits in my heand good glock 19 to but 43 good size ezey to cery
Glock 43 is made for concealed carry. It's not intended specifically for small people. If normal size people can't accurately fire it that's a problem. There must be a good technique solution to this problem and this video is trying to teach us one.
thanks i definite need to work on this with my 43x

Grip tape and 2x Ranger bands works great with a solid grip.

Matt, is it ok to just move the rear sight to compensate in small pistols like the G43? Thanks for your time.
I've seen some people do that, but I wouldn't recommend it. To make certain that your sights are aligned properly to begin with, I'd test fire it from a bench rest to see how it groups using your normal sight picture.

Only 1 dislike is good!
I love my 43
