Shooting Stance and Pistol Grip | Pro's Guide to Pistol Shooting Fundamentals

- If you've ever learned how to shoot a pistol, there's a high possibility that you're familiar with the 60/40 pistol grip rule. But there's a but.
Human beings can't quantify the percentage of pressure we're applying to the gun. In the first episode of the Pro's Guide to Pistol Shooting Fundamentals, Rick Crawley from Achilles Heel Tactical, offers a different approach on how to establish a firm pistol grip.
First thing's first- let's start with the element of shooting stance and how to absorb and mitigate recoil.

The shit you can learn off of RUclips! Can’t wait for more!
Imagine what you’d learn if you came to Ohio and took a class.
@@enlightenedpreparingep4006 I got plenty of people to learn from in Colorado, plus my back yard is full of mountains!!! No need for a range for me!!
My family’s never been into guns and the ones that do own firearm’s, haven’t been taught by a professional. I’ve took a 2 weeks course for firearms and learning this is extremely helpful.
يظنج
What is the name of the course you took?
The best series is back
This channel should have over a million subscribers
If that is even enough. Their clothes are banger just as much as their videos!
Easily bro, un matched content and production value.
This stuff is raw
I subscribed right now

Respect and props for Achilles Heel Tactical! Rick and his team are outstanding. Awesome job guys. Infinite amount of quality knowledge.
Anyone who's ever handled a sword (or escrima stick etc.) knows the importance of the pinky in getting a solid grip.
Walther PDP tried to explain similar things about the pinky grip/pressure when they promote the PDP, This guy completes that theory. So good! keep it up!
All the teachers presented by UFPro are very methodical. Amazing work team, thank you...
UF Pro as always hitting up us with Valuable info
The pinky……Brilliant. Range opens in 8 hours can’t wait to try this out!! Hell I’m going to dry fire until then!! Thank you
Pretty awesome instructions. Fundamentals at level best.
The pistol drills are one of my favourite
Great channel excellent content as always UF PRO thank you for this when i see your video it's like fresh air
Absolutely love these series
Your tip about pinky first grip is amazing! Right away my draws feel 100 times better. This works great for larger guns carried in a pocket.
MY TEAM & I HAD A GREAT TIME SHOOTING THIS SERIES! I hope everyone can take some value away from it!
Thanks for taking the time and sharing these great tips. 💪🏼🙏🏼

Hey, Now I am a bit confused. You say the pinky is so important and definitely an important part of the grip..Tu Lam from Ronin Tactics says the complete opposite..the pinky doesn't do anything....
Now both of you are high skilled shooters and both of you hit the targets and who hits is right, right? But what I wanna know now is what is more true because both grips obviously work really well for the individual shooter..is it just an individual thing or is there a thesis that is backed up by proof of science or whatever on which grip is better or if the pinky is important now or not( other than just hitting and shooting well cause both instructors do it)?
thanks
@@user-nf5sb7rc3e Some of this is not right or wrong, it’s personal preference. Get out on the range and see what works for you.
thank you i approved even more of a shooter I'm doing the firearms portion in the academy this weekend and seeing you're videos helped im still really waiting to take your firearms courses
Great tips! Also whoever edited this video, great job! Very cool.
Absolutely great video UF Pro!
Thanks for watching, Issac. Appreciate your comment. 🙏🏼💪🏼
Absolutely fantastic
EXTREMELY informative
Wrapping the pinky changed everything for me 💯
Very solid explanation and examples.
I’ve always argued the importance of the pinky - it’s just math, the pinky provides leverage at the farthest distance from center of rotational mass.
But, the ring finger is often taught to the public because there is an assumption people will have a short grip on a sub/mico compact for concealed carry. And because the public doesn’t train as much, it’s hard to learn two different grip techniques.
I learned more from you buddy! Keep moving! Salute
Thank you just watching this video improved my grip
I haven’t had any funds for bullets up until now
So I’ve doing dry fire drills and didn’t really a great idea on my what to pay attention too.
Great content!
Interesting take on drawing, starting contact with the pinky. I was taught to slide down the grip with the web of my hand until I hit the tang and then close my hand. I'll have to give this a try next time I hit the range.
My God I love this channel ❤️
Excellent just excellent! I've brought two or three tactical gear from ufpro and I can say it is the best quality I've bought out of all the sites I've used, mainly for private security and outdoor activities (personal), I'm hoping for more urban in the future
I only play airsoft so far but I'm trying to get better, thank you for this tutorial!
I've always told students to hold the gip like your gripping a hammer and hitting a nail. No over gripping but enough to hold it...cool vid bro, thx!
When establishing a grip on a lapel or any other piece of cloth grapplers will tell you that you only need three fingers to hold on and have your way with your opponent: middle finger + ring finger + pinky = equals full strength grip. Your index and thumb are for complementary activites. Nice video and thematically harmonious with grappling arts. Noice.
yep your pinky ring and middle finger are strong
I like the pinky concept!!
Hey this was good, thanks for the video 👍🏼
Thanks for following us 😎🤙
Ok! That was really awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for following us 😎🤙
Hi guys, thanks a lot for your instruction videos 👍 Absolutely great job. Some of your details really improved my shooting performance (f.e. grip and recoil management). Just a pity for me, that I'm from central Europe and I'm not able to visit some of your courses 😭
I enjoy looking at their kits
I truly never thought about it like a handshake. I am going to practice that and see how it feels
Very informative! 👌
Can you make about rifle grip next?
Much Respects For Rick
I never knew about the pinky. I'm def gonna have to test it out to see if my shooting improves
And another one. Thank you.
cant wait to see the IPS portion
Wow. That just works.
I just discovered this channel. It took me one video to love it. Side note; what holster is that?
To the Achilles Team; Good video! I just watched a video (about shooting down left of point of aim) prior to this and they said the pinky finger on the grip was not that important, which I thought was odd. I notice that the shooters here have a slight bend in their arm and not locked straight; I’m the same way, slight bend to my arms & fire. I’m x-military and qualified on the Beretta M9. I primarily shoot a CZ 75B or SIG P226 and am a lot better on the CZ.
I like the stance looks cool and calm..
These guys are the real deal damn
Finally, a good stance and grip video on youtube
Thanks 😎🤙
I love these guys. Love the channel. I haven't bought any gear (so going to buy some pants and a jacket in Concamo). Guys send me some merch please!? I love guys. The underdogs. I'm currently in a that kind of situation myself.
I'm using this for my airsoft skills
This is short and concise on grip and stance without overhelming people instead by showing by principle and example, the pinky is the true way even to me but so many now go on the pinch, brute force onyl, no force at all, push and pull etc., and other questionable ideas understress and like shooting a sidearm like a carbine, it is after all wish not the same, excellent video, and one man of the hell, former border patrol man Bill Jordan exactly taught the grip and establishing it, myself teach the guys as well, having a grip established and and not presenting and applying force through the presentation to its end and then have 100%...
thank you for that
exelente video saludos desde medellin colombia
Pinky and the brain 🧠!
Good DOPE gentlemen!
Achilles Heel Tactical, exploit weakness!

Gosh...you got that song in my head now! :/

Your pinky accounts for 30% of your grip strength. This video is amazing because I had no idea. This is definitely going to help myself and other people grip and aim better. I use a thumbs low grip because it provides the strongest grip possible. It also has the best gun retention of all grip styles.
I always keep my dominant hand relaxed while shooting and my support hand is a vice grip. Gripping hard with dominant hand has tendency for sympathetic movement of fingers on dominant hand causing shots to go low
It's funny. In military I was told the pinky would not be as important as the ring- or middle finger to get a good grip on the gun. It could basically be left out, and it really has worked out for me. Now Im hearing that the pinky can make quite a difference, interesting. Next time shooting Im definetly gonna try it out.
I'm a middle finger guy... yes, the pinky is important in the situation presented there, and in fist formation (boxing, etc.).. but try that with a revolver and you'll be picking it up the floor.
Really what works for you and your body type. I've taken so many different classes that you'll see the many variations of styles and techniques just base on physical attributes alone.
The ulnar two digits play a significant role in overall grip strength of the entire hand. In the present study, exclusion of the ulnar two digits resulted in a 34% to 67% decrease in grip strength, with a mean decrease of 55%. Exclusion of the little finger from a functional grip pattern decreased the overall grip strength by 33%. Exclusion of the ring finger from a functional grip pattern decreased the overall grip strength by 21%. It is clear that limitation of one or both of the ulnar digits adversely affects the strength of the hand. In addition, there was no significant difference between grip strength of FDS-independent and FDS-nonindependent subjects for either hand.
@@sadrioucharef9727 any stats on middle finger usage, or study on lack of palm friction/object stability when you ease the the longest lever in the fist. putting the above study through some bad math the middle and forefinger do appear to be pulling some if not equal weight, genetics and ymmv.
.
-boxing, et al. form the fist pinky first, squeezing air out of the fist.
-okinawan sun fist, fore finger goes first.
-bow, lifted finger grips. form the mid finger/ palm adhesion, so that high tang is assured, squeeze air out by adding the rest of the hand.
Pinky is one of the most fundamental fingers for grip since it’s the bottommost finger on the grip. In my experience using the pinky is going to give you the best leverage against recoil since it’s at the bottom of the lever, and helps so much to control recoil.
What about the support hand pinky? Will it be wrapped around the strong hand pinky or below the strong hand pinky?
any tips for shooting 9mm at 100m using a browning HP ? Any tips for the browning HP in general lol.
The best 🤟
Thanks, George. 👊🏼
@@ufprogear 🙏🙏👏👏💌👍👍
Is there a video on the support hand?
Is the Uf Pro gear in this video really the Brown Grey version, looks so much greener here then on the website.
Just checking to make sure this guy is not wearing a camo only available to military/police.
Cause I really want the ones in the video
It's Brown Grey. 👍🏼
What front pouch and magazine setup is on your vest.
For next, teach us some USPSA basic from Practical Shooting's athlete
Tell me more about that Glock. What frame is that? Comp?
you see,
this gentleman's called rick rolley
marvellous
is that a haley strategic micro chest rig?
Nice
🙌🏼
What pistol is this? It appears to be a take on a G17 but I can’t tell. Maybe a timberwolf frame and custom slide?
This shit so dope
Interesting what glove does he have on?
What gloves are you running!!!?
Which pants are these because I've nevr seen normal olive in UF Pro pants?
When he’s talking about grip strength coming from the pinky on the gun I’m just over here crying with my glock 26 loosely in my hand
Out-F-ing-standing! Oohrah!
What holster are you using!?! I gotta know! I can’t find one that accommodates a red dot and a light…
Just go for a Safariland holster.
On their website you can enter your firearm, sight and what kind of light you got attached and they'll recommended which holster of theirs fit.
They're not cheap but they're some of the best holsters out there.
@@AgentBOthanks for the tip man. I’ll check it out
Just found and enjoyed your videos. However, how many new and even more experienced shooters would or could purchase a $5,000+, tricked out, competition pistol like the one you carry and instruct with?
Perhaps using a stock/ out of the box, handgun while you instruct would be more beneficial? Especially to brand-new, 1st time gun owners?
What gun does he use?
Thanks for the vid an airsofter here trying not to have a spine looking like a Z
can someone explain to me, WHY the dominant leg goes back and non dominant leg goes forward? wouldn't it help with recoil if the dominant leg was forward to brace for the recoil?
Everytime i visit their website i fantasise what a backpack of them would look like. Along with more stuff for the civilian sector. Cause, i don´t wanna scare my neighnorhood. :)
👍

Have a question what if you are missing half of your pinky
0:48 stance 2:25 grip 3:40
👍👍👍
pinkie tactics :)
I really rate the video.
That said, it might have been an idea to reshoot the "Shooting Posture" in order to demonstrate rock solid trigger discipline. 1:44 - Finger on trigger, remembers training 1:45 removes finger from trigger.
Plese make this video’s automatic caption available ! I’ m not good at listing English !
Could someone tell me what watch Rick is wearing?
Suunto Alpha Traverse
@@Instananners Thanks a lot!
Sounds like I'm changing how I draw, HOLY CRAP, pinky first, new to me... so are comma's.
Missing subtitles 😅
Going on a cadet trip tomorrow to a Gun Ranger my lieutenant sent me this.
That's why Jakuza have to cut off their pinky finger to apologize, it makes them unable to wield a katana effectively.
Please add subtitles
It’s funny that it’s possible to identify an operator out of a crowd pf civilians, just from the posture
Learned something I didn't in the Army but I still scored expert on the M4 and M16.
That one dudes a fucking giant.
What kind of pistol is that...? M&P?
Like just vor calling out the 40/60 BS!!!
What’s the gun model ?
Glock 19, said so on his Insta
@@AgentBO maybe you know flashlight model
@@hawkandroid Probably a Surefire X300
