Hey what's up I heard about that guy that was sponsored by uscca that needed your help and got his coverage dropped just wanted to let you know that you're a joke.... just like 9 mm and any Bozo that carries it for self-defense.....45 ,10mm or bigger.... and since you can't comment on commercials I just come here directly.
After watching this video, I grabbed my G27 Gen3, S&W Shield 40 and Springfield XD Mod-2 Compact in 40 S&W and off to the range I went. What a difference it made by following his instructions on the grip! I was close to his description but when I nestled my left hand into that 'gap' area (2:14) while holding it with my right hand, I put 70+ rounds into the 9, 10 rings plus the red at 10 yards. The only difference I did was to wrap my left-hand index finger across the front of trigger guard, not under it as he shows here. I used various hand loads with different bullets and powders, the results were the same. Highly recommend gripping your gun as described in this video.
For small guns like Micro 9s, can also move forward a bit and use your left pointer finger (for rightys) to overlap the front trigger guard. It can help hold that muzzle steady when working with auch smaller gun footprint.
@@christophergardiner5351 I do it with my 43x and hellcat but still go with the regular wrap around grip with my duty size guns. I think the idea is that there is no "best" way. Happy shooting..
@@christophergardiner5351 oh and something else that works great - get some skateboard tape for the front of the guard. Totally helps th grip for that front finger...
To each their own but I dont recommend teaching that to others. Novice shooters tend to anticipate recoil and flinch. If they have their finger pressed on the guard and flinch, its gonna throw the shots off. Couple that with other common errors like slapping the trigger, etc...the groups aren't gonna be consistent. I place my support finger under the trigger guard. I dont wrap around or press against it. That hold works well, even on subcompacts like my Gen 4 Glock 30 .45 auto
I sure would like to see some videos like this using a revolver. No beaver tail. Cylinder side flash. Different grip profile. Not everyone uses a semi-auto, or shoots 1911 or a Glock. Grip too high gets hammer pinch. Control hand index finger too far forward, you might lose it. Snubbies are common.
I usually only use my finger tips with my right hand to give the bottom support, while I hold the back firmly with my left hand. This is how I eat xtra large slices of pizza
I was following along with you on this with my Glock 19 (unloaded of course) I've always had a good grip on the gun I can feel a slight difference I think my shots will be in a tighter group on the target. I'm looking forward on trying this at my next visit to the range.
i dont know why but when i do the support hand and get it nice into the other part of the handle my thumb does not come close to reaching forward as far as everyone else. i can move it forward some but then i have to take it off the grip so much it does not feel worth it. i have big hands so im not sure what im doing wrong
I am in a minority with modern semi auto shooters, but I think I have short thumbs or something, because the thumbs forward grip is beyond uncomfortable and is much less effective for me. It also feels completely unnatural to me. I don’t put my thumbs forward when I use a hammer, an axe, broom, baseball bat, knife, or anything else that I grip. It also may have to do with first learning to shoot a revolver and staying away from muzzle blast shooting out the front of the cylinder. Then again, I think I’d rather lose a little accuracy and not have to readjust my grip if a revolver is the only gun available to me.
His understanding of the hand mechanics of the grip are good, but you can see the way his arms were positioned that he's flaring out his elbows. Doing so directs recoil into the shoulders which will throw you off and cause a delay in target reacquisition as opposed to a more straight-armed approach that will direct the recoil down your arms and into your spine and out of the body toward the ground.
1. That’s why you go to a range and implement. That creates “muscle memory”. 2. Crises cannot exist if you’re always ready for adversity and prioritization of preparation z

Yep. That's what I do with my shield.

@jimpalmer4061 yeah, you are right. Wasn't saying there was a "best way." Just mentioning that I put my non shooting index finger on the guard.

Thanks for explaining the grip.
Excellent video, at 3:24 perfect symmetry between left thumb and right index.
Thank you
Watch out for "slide bite" with that thumb...
This has never happened to me but I always fear it
First thing I thought. "The mistake shooters only make once."
Nice video

I just wish I could join the USCCA - the joys of living in a state that has a twit of an AG. One of what - 3? Sigh.
Yup, three. And CA is not one of them lol
For beginners
How do you hold a micro compact gun where you don't have place to your Pinky
Takeaway…..shoot your best with the grip you have @ the time …🤷🏻♂️
First
Welcome!
Thumbs forward grip is disgusting
Which grip would you recommend?
Totally wrong..thumbs forward is a horrible grip.
...and what would be the correct way?
And you’re either missing a chromosome or a troll. Either way you’re statement is useless
@@mikew1080 thumbs backward 😀
Really…
Basic yet very helpful information!
I usually only use my finger tips with my right hand to give the bottom support, while I hold the back firmly with my left hand. This is how I eat xtra large slices of pizza
Wish I’d known this 60 years ago. Could have saved me a LOT of misspent ammo. Thanks
60? Man go watch nature videos.

That's awesome to hear (and happy to hear it was unloaded). Let us know how your groups change after you get the chance to try this at the range!
@@USCCAOfficial yes I wii
@@HowtowithPaulHendersonhow did it go?
@@AaronChristian951 makes a huge difference.
Just shot my new Springfield elite xdm 10mm and I suck! Keep shooting low. Guess I’m anticipating the recoil too much. Any suggestions?
Unfortunately I am right eye dominant but left handed
This is an awesome video, thank you.
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!

TY USCCA
Thank YOU for. the support! Stay safe!
You are never going to remember this in a moment of crisis…🤷🏻♂️
your supposed to build these techniques into muscle memory so you just do it automatically in a crisis
1. That’s why you go to a range and implement. That creates “muscle memory”. 2. Crises cannot exist if you’re always ready for adversity and prioritization of preparation z
Yes, you can.
