In 2009, I came home from a deployment and my oldest son, who was 3 or 4 at the time, wouldn’t eat for almost 2 weeks... Being a father I was obviously concerned, so I asked him about it and his answer really hit me hard… He said, “Dad, if I eat I’ll grow up and if I grow up I’ll become a daddy. And if I become a daddy, I’ll have to leave my family.” My boys barely knew who I was and I couldn’t let them grow up without a father... I realized at that moment my family needed me a lot more than the Navy needed another SEAL. So I put in for retirement the next day… Back then I knew I wanted to be with my family more than anything, so I made changes in my life that allowed me to be at home. We all want more time to spend with the people we love or doing the things we love. That’s why I’m here to help! Once you read my New Rules of Marksmanship you will learn how you can stay at home, and save time and money while you improve your shooting! I promise this works… try it now: snip.ly/vqtwv4
You do what you must do to make things Right with all in your life. I served in the Navy and Honorably discharged in 93. Separation is no joke, caused me to get married and separate quicker than you can say..ATTENTION ON DECK. I've just subscribed to your channel, and feeling good about being here because it's all about building up a source of good content in life....... Hand Salute to you Bro.
you say that the dominant arm holding the gun has to be inline with your arm but at 4:28 it is in the middle of your chest with your arms straight . while we are getting ready to shoot are we making a right triangle with our chest or a isosceles triangle ?
Chris, after reading your book and practicing thousands of of rounds I was able to shoot one hole targets. Actually was able to shoot the first 100 score target at my range(10 bullseyes), thanks Chris for your help.
I shoot low and left for a different reason; I flinch and pull the gun in that direction as a result. As soon as I discovered this, I emptied the gun and utilized a technique I had learned from an old gun nut- practice holding an empty gun and pulling the trigger over and over without jerking the sights at all. When my body was used to that, I reloaded the gun, aimed for a headshot, gripped the gun regularly, not too tightly, and fired. I got a few bullseyes in a row. Now I need to practice that as dry-fire for a while to make it muscle memory.
What helps me is putting more pressure in your left hand (right hand shooters) to balence your shootings so its not pushed to the left . Not just using all your force with your right hand.
Great video. I wish I knew this before.I am a retired Police officer {32} years. I was assigned to the tack team as a sniper. I shot a lot of rounds. I had the curse of shoot my Glock left. I fought that all the time. Now I know why. Thanks Chris Phil Matton Palm Bay FL I retired from Massachusetts.
Went to the range today with the grip you described. Waalaa! No more low and left shots. Nice tight center target groupings at 7 yards. Thanks for the help.
Came across this video yesterday as I’ve been struggling with this exact issue for a while now... and wish I had watched this sooner! Took some time at the range today to apply these pointers along with Chris’ front sight video and dramatically improved my grouping! You’ve earned a subscriber, thanks Chris!
Chris, I’m a retired State Trooper and I do shoot low and left at the range when I shoot weaver or isosceles. But, when I shoot without aiming with my eye(s), such as hip-shooting, I am dead on. On car stops this is when you are most likely to shoot your weapon. Your video was very informative and helped me at qualifying for my retired permit to carry. Thanks again.
THANK YOU! Have a p229 legion and big hands. The length of pull is tiny with the reset on the Grey trigger. I’ve been shooting for most of my life and this gun perplexed me. Until you said “people are taught to shoot wit the pad of their finger” that had been so I ingrained into my training that I never thought that’d be the problem. I’m shooting one inch groups at 15 yards with it now after trying for 1,000 plus rounds. Thank you again!!
I just started to re teach my daughter to shoot. When she was younger I taught her what we were all taught: the methods. When I found this channel I had to re-think what I’d been doing and I improved. Now I am starting her over with your philosophy. I’m sure she will be better than me in a shorter time period. She also likes your scientific and philosophical approach, so she is very receptive to what you are teaching. She is now learning where I had to unlearn and re-learn. She really picked up the front sight focus quick because it was what she was taught. Where I had to re-train my brain and eyes to get that focus. Thank you for your service and your work.
OMG! THANK YOU!!! Precisely what I've been doing with my carry gun - Beretta 92FS, 40 s&w. I believe you hit the nail on the head and I can't wait to get to the range to try, but your comments make perfect sense! Even us instructors can take hints too if you're smart enough to listen. Will report back what happens!
My groupings aren’t as horrible for someone who’s only gone shooting like 4 or 5 times, but my last time I was always shooting low to the left. This video helped me see what I was doing wrong! Can’t wait to get to the range next and try to work out my kinks! Thanks!
Thank you very much. Your video shooting low and to the left was great as I'm an avid shooter. A lot of these videos about guns and ammo it takes the guy 25 minutes to get to the point. Most of the time I watch Honest Outlaw videos another person that gets right to the point thanks again
I have a question... I shoot a g19 gen 4. Can shoot the center our of a target at 10 yards. Just got a BRAND NEW F&N FNX9MM that even has a better trigger and I t seems like its shooting to the left ! Bad!! If I cock the gun sideways "to the right" I'll hit where I'm guessing at.. if that makes sence..
Thanks... i was doing second. Because i was shooting with px9 carry and due to its compact size, i need to squeeze my trigger finger to right to put tip on the trigger, but it is wrong method as you mentioned it... will try this weekend on range and will update here.
Thanks Chris. I think I am on my way to correcting my problem of milking the grip. It started when I attended a class which teaches the old push pull. I don't do that but it creeped into my brain and I was stuck for two days with it. I could use a proper grip, align the sights, press the trigger, watch my sights move in a perfect 12 oclock during recoil and still shoot low and left. Once I stopped push pull and simply gripped or captured, I'm fine. I also think of follow through as a teaching aid. If I picture follow through and memorize it as another building block it works. The follow through tip came from talking to Jerry Miculek.
the grip thing is a long convoluted way of trying to get around squeezing the gun improperly. don't squeeze it like a hammer, pinch the grip into your palm with 4 fingers gripping straight back.. this is simple.
I was having this same issue someone said to look you up watched this video and within the first bit i knew what i was doing. My taurus pt111g2 im dead on. Got a glock 43x and yup left i went after this video i went to shoot and lord be hold im now dead on with my 43x and i love this guy. So thank you for your time your service to our country and your great help. You got a new subscriber today so again thank you keep up the great videos.. you cannot say but thank you for free help so thank you again
First time I got good advice about pistol shooting since my days at USNA, Annapolis when the Marine Corps gunnies taught me to shoot a series 70 government 1911.
Can't wait to try these tips. I've only gone shooting twice and was having this sort of problem. Now it's just a matter of actually being able to find some 9mm rounds to practice with
Chris , I am a retired Fed LEO in Glynco they were training to use the Ocsolices fireing position I wasn't comfortable with the position and converted to the Weaver stance, in which case I was able to fire a better shot group. I am retired now and bought a VP 9. It's an excellent sidearm went to the range with 500 rounds. No stovepipe, no malfunction. I fired the course of fire 3-5-7-12-25 yards. The safety officer was watching me and said I did pretty good. I said let's see how I do when I transition to weakhand . I fired the 3-5-7 yard line. I have never fired so accurate and with a tight shot group in 20 years of law enforcement. The safety officer was surprised. I told him that this was time with the VP 9 .
Another thing I noticed while dry firing with a laser on is that I was anticipating the recoil. I was forcing gun down while pulling trigger. More dry fire practice is called for with me. Was also milking as you said. I'm accurate with a rifle, this whole pistol thing is new to me. Farm boy that used rifles a lot but just got my first pistol at 44 years old. Thanks for the tips!
Tried what you suggested - hand outstretched, simulating shooting, and I noticed exactly what you said, Chris, about turning the gun leftward; did NOT do as you said happens re downward, simulating about a dozen times. But the turn to the left is definitely a problem I can correct, thanks to you. As far as #2 suggestion goes, you make it confusing: first, you say to keep that second knuckle straight, which makes good sense and easily correctable; but then, you say one doesn't have to put the first finger pad on the trigger just because someone else says to. Well - if the second knuckle is straight, then the first finger pad WILL end up on the trigger, which is where it should go whether someone says so or not.
Chris Sajnog, I ABSOLUTELY love going back and watching your videos after going to the range, I always look at what I'm doing and refresh my thoughts and posterior next time at the range!!
Thank you Sir for your service. Thank you for putting together such an excellent video. Shooting two different pistols, both low and left, I will try your suggestions next time I go to the range. Thanks again!
The most common problem I encounter is fear of recoil. Pistol shooters equate squeeze the trigger with increase the squeeze pressure on the hand to handle the recoil. I teach to grip with the thumb, middle, third and pinky while keeping the first (trigger finger) independent and then pull the trigger, not squeeze the trigger.
Thanks i will your tips next time. Today I can't figure out how I shot below target at 6 clock. Feeling frustrated no matter how i change position, shoulder, finger ttiger, etc. Still 6clock. Friends told trying aim at 12clock. I got it very center :)
I was told by a firearms instructor in an informal conversation that I’m anticipating recoil. That’s why I’m shooting low and left. I don’t by that. I’m going to work on my shooting based on this video. I’ll update on results.
It could very well be the reason, i used to do that and in my case when i was anticipating i saw my sights go low and left a little bit. I managed to fix that by pressing the trigger like i was going to shoot but stop at the last second and i could see my gun moving because i was anticipating then a second later i would squeeze the trigger to shoot and i hit the center of the target. Simply give the trigger a slow, steady pull and let the shot surprise you
wow , this made perfect since . I think im suffering from symptom 1 . Once I saw your gun move when your gripped it , I noticed I was doing that. Good info , thanks . I was almost convinced it was a glock thing ... Must have something to do with the way the grips are designed , my 1911 never pulls left , but all my glocks do
Thank you for making this video. Low and left is exactly what I have been struggling with since I started shooting. I’m going to use these techniques the very next time I’m at the range.
Great Tip, I also fixed my issue by using my left index finger to press against the frame a bit just prior right index trigger pull, plus having a more tighter grip, and that solved the problem, finally making 4 inch groups at 30 ft on my Sig P 938. Its a strange hold, but its working for me
Very useful -- I might have been "milking" a bit but I think the bigger issue was not having my strong arm straight. Focused specifically on those two things at the range yesterday and had a lot better results!
Thank you sir, exactly the kind of information that actually matters. It's those little finite subtleties that are always hiding in the darkness we don't easily recognized. Stay safe, stay blessed, always stay to cover. Danny in Texas
I only have this problem with 1 handgun: Kel-Tec P11 (subcompact 9mm). I don’t know if it’s the long, heavy trigger, or the small square frame that makes it hard to utilize both hands. It also rubs the inside of the base knuckle of my thumb raw after a lot of rounds.
Nicely done Chris! Even after 30 years of competition shooting, whenever my shooting gets sloppy I go back to the basics and try to figure out why. Your tips just added some more ammo to my bunker! De Oppresso Liber
Nice work. I've been pushing the trigger with my trigger finger. I feel like this is hand gun-specific. I've been making this trigger mistake with a Ruger micro pistol (EC9s). I don't seem to have this problem with full-sized pistols. thanks.
Thank you so much for the video. I now have a clear idea of what to watch out for in my dry fire practice at home and anticipate accurate shot placement at the range. I really want my EDC to hit what I'm aiming for! Thanks again!
Chris do you have an opinion on shooting with your finger wrapped around the knurled area of the trigger guard (Glock trigger guards as an example). Thanks for what u do.
I just bought my first firearms a couple weeks ago. I was doing so badly shooting my glock 19 it was so frustrating and humiliating. Turns out even though I'm right handed i have to shoot left handed because I'm cross eyed dominant. Changed dominant shooting hands and...🎯!
I have a new Ruger security 9. It is shooting way low every shot. Dead on left and right just super low. I will adjust the rear sight but just checking if maybe it is me first.
I went to the range the other day and I caught myself shooting slightly off to the right, missing my target. I was dumbfounded and really thought something was damaged in my gun (previous bad jam that caused a squib). It didn't help that I was dead accurate with a buddies pistol but not mine. This makes perfect sense. I need to get out there again.
Nice video. Can you describe (or point to a video you have done ) for how you quickly draw and then confirm that you have gotten your grip correct? In a USPSA match, it is not practical to check your grip before you start shooting. You allude to “elbow out” in this video, perhaps you’d subtly saying elbow in would be better? BTW, I’m a member, if that helps.
In 2009, I came home from a deployment and my oldest son, who was 3 or 4 at the time, wouldn’t eat for almost 2 weeks... Being a father I was obviously concerned, so I asked him about it and his answer really hit me hard… He said, “Dad, if I eat I’ll grow up and if I grow up I’ll become a daddy.

patrick quinn I’ve always wondered...what’s it like to be a complete tool and all around waste of space?
you say that the dominant arm holding the gun has to be inline with your arm but at 4:28 it is in the middle of your chest with your arms straight . while we are getting ready to shoot are we making a right triangle with our chest or a isosceles triangle ?
Chris, after reading your book and practicing thousands of of rounds I was able to shoot one hole targets. Actually was able to shoot the first 100 score target at my range(10 bullseyes), thanks Chris for your help.

I think after a thousand rounds, you'd fix your mistakes regardless if you read the book or not

I got a copy of his book How To Shoot Like A Navy SEAL. The book helped me with all of my shooting. He is one of the few that I follow. The real deal.

Great tips. Looking forward to trying them on my next training session. Thank you for posting.
Yes! I do shoot low and left.
Hope your video can cure this affliction.

First time I got good advice about pistol shooting since my days at USNA, Annapolis when the Marine Corps gunnies taught me to shoot a series 70 government 1911.
That keeping the second knuckle straight was clutch

Awesome thanks for sharing this info sir. It helps alot
Chris , I am a retired Fed LEO in Glynco they were training to use the Ocsolices fireing position I wasn't comfortable with the position and converted to the Weaver stance, in which case I was able to fire a better shot group.
I am retired now and bought a VP 9.
It's an excellent sidearm went to the range with 500 rounds.
No stovepipe, no malfunction.
I fired the course of fire 3-5-7-12-25 yards. The safety officer was watching me and said I did pretty good.
I said let's see how I do when I transition to weakhand . I fired the 3-5-7 yard line. I have never fired so accurate and with a tight shot group in 20 years of law enforcement. The safety officer was surprised. I told him that this was time with the VP 9 .

Yes, my sin, pushing and anticipating recoil! Good information, I usually fix it unless I get in a hurry!

Thank you, and also be safe in our crazy world and keep doing videos
Thank you for making this video. Low and left is exactly what I have been struggling with since I started shooting. I’m going to use these techniques the very next time I’m at the range.
Thank you! I've done all of these things. Now that I notice my scores have improved.
Great Tip, I also fixed my issue by using my left index finger to press against the frame a bit just prior right index trigger pull, plus having a more tighter grip, and that solved the problem, finally making 4 inch groups at 30 ft on my Sig P 938. Its a strange hold, but its working for me
Very useful -- I might have been "milking" a bit but I think the bigger issue was not having my strong arm straight. Focused specifically on those two things at the range yesterday and had a lot better results!
Thank you sir, exactly the kind of information that actually matters. It's those little finite subtleties that are always hiding in the darkness we don't easily recognized.
Stay safe, stay blessed, always stay to cover. Danny in Texas
Thank you very much sir , I learn more
Went to range today , almost every shot was little low and left , cant wait to try these tips . Thanks
Great video with clear instructions.
Just watched your video. Exactly what I was doing! Great info. Thanks for the quick pointers.
Good information sir
Thanks
Best pistol instruction I’ve seen! Outstanding!
Can you show how to correct that from happening with a pistol and a proper grip for a left hand shotting
Good advice, i will put it in practice next time i hit the range
Hey, thank you SO much! Rev
Thanks, this ma y solve my problem shooting smaller guns vs. full size. Appreciate the tips.
This helped me so much I knew it was me and not the gun thanks.
Chris, thank you for your service and now you are officially a dad😎👍. Thank you for the tips, and now I am a sub please keep them coming. 👋👋
Great video, subscribed! 👍
Thank you for your advice. I have been wrestling with this issues for the past year. Enjoy your newsletter.
What an amazing video
I didn't realize I really was pushing the trigger instead of pulling back with my finger. Wish I noticed this before range day instead of after.
GREAT Video. I make all three mistakes. Tks for the advice Mr.
I only have this problem with 1 handgun: Kel-Tec P11 (subcompact 9mm). I don’t know if it’s the long, heavy trigger, or the small square frame that makes it hard to utilize both hands. It also rubs the inside of the base knuckle of my thumb raw after a lot of rounds.
Nicely done Chris! Even after 30 years of competition shooting, whenever my shooting gets sloppy I go back to the basics and try to figure out why. Your tips just added some more ammo to my bunker!

Was low and left all day today. Will watch again while at the range tomorrow to work on it.
Thanks for the tips.
Chris thank you for this INFO, it corrected the problem asap, at lease I had to practice to make corrections,
Chris do you have an opinion on shooting with your finger wrapped around the knurled area of the trigger guard (Glock trigger guards as an example). Thanks for what u do.
I just bought my first firearms a couple weeks ago. I was doing so badly shooting my glock 19 it was so frustrating and humiliating. Turns out even though I'm right handed i have to shoot left handed because I'm cross eyed dominant. Changed dominant shooting hands and...🎯!
Here, here... Anticipation!!
Thanks for the advice. I was about to mess with my sights but I think I’ll check my grip first.
Thanks, I will be putting this to good use.
I have a new Ruger security 9. It is shooting way low every shot. Dead on left and right just super low. I will adjust the rear sight but just checking if maybe it is me first.
question, why not adjust the sights right n hit where u want with your natural grip? also, did u get "scoped"?
I went to the range the other day and I caught myself shooting slightly off to the right, missing my target. I was dumbfounded and really thought something was damaged in my gun (previous bad jam that caused a squib).
It didn't help that I was dead accurate with a buddies pistol but not mine. This makes perfect sense. I need to get out there again.
Great video and tips
Good video. I think No. 3 might be my issue. I'll give it a try next time I'm on the range.
Thanks bro✊
Nice video. Can you describe (or point to a video you have done ) for how you quickly draw and then confirm that you have gotten your grip correct? In a USPSA match, it is not practical to check your grip before you start shooting. You allude to “elbow out” in this video, perhaps you’d subtly saying elbow in would be better? BTW, I’m a member, if that helps.
