I don’t think you guys realize the potential of this channel just by how easy you are to watch. The talent speaks for itself. Keep the guides coming. How to find red dot faster?
When teaching my 4'-10" tall , 100-pound daughter to shoot, we had a guy beside us ,he was just a beast. Like 6'-6" , 285 pounds of muscle. He took the time with me to help explain how his size could compensate for recoil versus my daughter's size frame. Helped me put emphasis on her form having to be better than his. Was a great teaching moment. My daughter now loves gun ranges as most people are super friendly and helpful.
5’9 163. You learn quick how to stand without being told. . But his performance and on point teaching methods has me convinced to ignore a lot of others and follow this guy.
I was in the German SOF and 5 minutes with a US sergeant, who made it into the President's 100 twice, improved my long gun game tremendously. The high left hand is a game changer.
I like your stance. I heard a story of an instructor put a hundred dollar bill on a target then told the class that on “go” the first one to get to the bill got to keep it. He said ready, then paused and said, “that right there is your shooting stance”. Then he grabbed the bill and went on with the class.
Its so odd to me how many people shoot and carry but still dont know how to shoot a pistol. Videos like this will always be relevant. I notice what actually makes a good shooter has more to do with understanding biomechanics than it does with experience. If you can teach someone good technique and how to know whats right for them, they instantly improve their shooting pretty much immediately.
@@codyschnuriger6743Is this really a bot? This is a really insightful comment. (Or are YOU the bot, helping drive engagement on this video with crazy takes? 😐)
That's true, in my country a lot of people are armed but don't know how to shoot because instead of using the ammunition to practice, they waste it, shoot it in the air, they hear someone shoot and everyone in their homes responds by emptying the magazines but I never see them practice. I think that when it comes to having to defend themselves, they don't even remember the weapon. but this guy is practical, the gun doesn't even move his hands, only the slide moves, one day I will have that practice 😊 I will continue training
@@Angela-bv9gwwhat country is it where if you hear someone shoot, you also causally just shoot? Like it’s a friendly honk to a neighbor passing by in their car lol. I’m gonna take a wild guess… Mexico? I’ve got no idea
I'm a bigger guy (215lbs) & even with 9mm or .22 I shoot better in that stance. You have better balance that way both front/back & side to side & can manage recoil better that way. It's how I've trained my wife to shoot & several other people & its the way I've learned as well.
It all depends on what the goal is. If an instructor has a background more geared towards precision than recoil control it can have a point. What will give you good recoil control can be a detriment at long distance. Goals should be set before training or what the class is about. Everything new you try needs about two weeks of range visits to give it a chance and experiment with.
Woman here, new to CC world, with very little upper body strength & tired of fighting recoil. Thank you for this video. Glad I watched to the end!!! Never heard about compensated or knew about the flashlight
Three pointers in less than 5 minutes. Easily digestible and presented very well. That’s how you teach someone on the range…incremental adjustments without overloading them. Great job! The high support hand concept wasn’t taught when I began shooting 20 years ago…I can say that without a doubt that my recoil management and shot times improved as I transitioned to a higher support hand grip. Keep up the great content.
Regarding high support hand, when you get your thumb up that high on the slide, how does the slide flying back not mess up your thumb? No pinch or friction? I haven't had the chance to try yet - just wondering.
@@svalbard01 I have asked the same thing because many say that leaving your thumb on the slide bites you or causes the gun to malfunction or even cuts your finger.
@@Angela-bv9gw I've been to the range since I posted the question and didn't have any thumb issues. Especially on mine (CZ P10F), the slide taper makes it a non-issue.
Duuuude!! I usually notice a small flick in my red dot's position during dry fire practice. I tried a dry fire practice with the new grip just now. That thing DOES NOT MOVE!! I had no idea it was even possible to get a trigger pull like that! Thank you!!
Now try one handed. Just make sure that the grip doesn't always have to fix other failure sources. It doesn't have to be extreme grip pressure, just consistent before, during and after shots. Also check what the grip does at different distances.
One of the things that I love about training and watching people that train is that we ALWAYS learn simething new. Stay humble and take what you like from other people, try it yourself and use it to improve your skills. Love this channel so far.
What’s crazy is I naturally shot like you do with the high left hand and I was told I was wrong. Changed it and I shoot worse now 😂 Switched back to my normal grip and the groups on follow up shots are A LOT tighter.
I was taught to keep both my arms outstretched, and elbows rolled in slightly to lock the gun forward. It always felt a bit unnatural, and didn't feel like it worked all that well. I started trying out slightly bent elbows, or one elbow locked and the other bent, and I've found it works a lot better. The thing about the general technique with anything is that it won't work for EVERYONE; just most people. Constantly have to figure out what works best for you.
That's my grip lol glad I'm doing it right I guess. Never had an issue with recoil. I did a lot of airsoft and was surprised how much transferred over.
I'm very surprised that putting pressure on the slide like that doesn't interfere with it going into battery. I just used the thumb ledge on my MR920 and thought that was pretty good, until I saw how much he controls it
@MultiPurposeReviewer both arms outstretched is a garbage old-school method, as well as cupping the bottom of the grip with the off hand. You need triangulation to manage recoil & give you the most support (i.e. dominant arm all the way out straight, off arm/hand elbow slightly bent & rolled down to create a 90* triangle with the body).
If I might add my 2 cents on this. Some may know Modern Samurai or Scott Jedlinski and he teaches once you got the grip that you want. Drive that support index finger up into the trigger guard. It basically turns the gun into a platform. For me I never shot as straight as I did until I watched his videos and went to the range to try it out. It works! Trust me!
This is a perfect description of how a light can be used to manage recoil. I carry with one now mostly because I love being able to grip it and gain that forward leverage.
I’m glad you brought up stance according to weight and handsize . I’m 6’5” 250 and 9mm recoil is almost nonexistent compared to some of my smaller friends and the techniques they have to use .
Would love even more detail on the grip. Ex. Are you rolling your hands into the grip with pressure or just squeezing your hands. Your left elbow tends to roll out which eludes that you are doing the above. Do you feel you are locking your wrists? Many promote push pull with right vs left hand, you don’t look to do that… could you share why? Do you feel you have more power in left hand vs right hand, which allows trigger finger to move freely and faster? Off topic what moa dots are you running on pistols? Absolutely favorite channel!!
Great questions! I hope there is follow up. I'm also curious about the left thumb nearly riding the slide in the "high grip". It seems as though you run the risk of losing some skin? Depends on the serrations I suppose. Thanks for the responses!
Awesome questions James! i am not sure if You're looking to be in Competitive shooting or competent in Action. Are You familiar with my Brither in Arms, and in CHRIST, John Lovell? He and i are Both on the Active Firefight side of things.. having to d with real life situations, applying what We picked up from the Military and Life's Experiences to Civilians who wish to be ready.

But, it's all Founded on The CREATOR Of All and SAVIOR Of All who Actively Trust HIM, KING YESHUA.
As someone getting their first pistol this summer this video was very informal. Short video yet very straight to the point. The high grip you showed was very unique yet very powerful. You just earned a new subscriber.
I love coming online and seeing how other people solve the same problems. I'm also a smaller guy, and organically came to a similar conclusion decades ago, mainly due to being a Metal Gear Solid fanboy. One of my first handguns was the Mk23, which has a very high bore axis. First learning to shoot it, I could barely control it. Got higher and higher on the grip until I was in basically the same grip you use. It naturally transferred over to other handguns, and no one ever corrected me, despite over 20 years of combat shooting. I guess because it produced results. 100 yard shot, consistently ringing steel, with a G17 and irons? I don't think any of my instructors or peers cared about what my grip looked like lol. It's very interesting to see how you got to the same solution, despite different stimuli.
I really like this video. You have more of a... I guess... natural and calm way of explaining things without over complicating it. I've always had a hard time explaining to people how to do it without physically showing them. I will be sending all my newbie friends this video.
Man this is great. Although I’m one of the bigger fellas, I grabbed my XR920 during this video to try the higher grip. One issue I found is that as I grip higher I hinder the slide lock & also figuring out where the hell my big hands land on my support hand. Anyway, your content is legit & you’re a freakin beast
I just took my ccw qualifications this oast saturday ,and let me tell you because of you videos on how to manage recoil and proper stance i pass big time thanks a million dudes
Thank you, the grip helped improve my recoil control by 100%. I use to shoot in a diagonal (45°) manner before cause that worked for me better than vertical.
I really dig this stuff, man. I have been watching your shorts for the longest time because of your speed and accuracy, and now to see the little differences in how you shoot is super handy. I got my SD3G coming in from a black Friday sale, so I'm ready to see what my split times do. You put out some good info out. Keep it up!!
Wow! You are a legend! Thank you. With the snappy hellcat pro my shots have been all over the target. 🎯 i was so frustrated and have been training daily. I watched several videos on how to grip the gun, how to aim, etc nothing worked and groupings got worst. After watching this video and applying your technique I’m stacking the shots on top one another with the snappy hellcat pro. Thank you so much 😊 🙏🏼
When i started watching your IG posts i noticed how high you grip and I've been doing it with great results. I coach my friends to do the same as this video exactly even down to the stance analogy.
Going to be lost in the comments, but something that has to be said. I didn't shoot since July and I got my hands on the Glock 17 in December. I have a total of 158 rounds on handguns, because I don't shoot often and when I do, it's not a lot. It was my first time shooting Glock 17, I only shot 34 before, and I remembered the grip advice. It has improved my recoil control significantly even though I didn't grip the gun harder or anything, and it allowed me to make hits at 20-25 yards. Advice on trigger pull also helped me shoot without pulling the gun to the sides. (Also, shooting 9mm with Earpro right after having AKSU blast my eardrums without earpro helped a lot when dealing with flinching - it's gone and I probably have hearing damage)
This is what I’ve been looking for. Just got my first 9mm, and while I’m a decent shot, I still feel like I’m not managing the recoil well enough and it’s 100% my stance/grip. You broke it all down mad well, thank you. I’ll be trying all of this next time I’m at the range.
I would really like to see more of this technique with out the light. Hand placement etc, I’m gonna try it at the range next week. If you can do vid on that it would be really helpful thanks!
Man is so dedicated to showing us the ways that he went through several weather changes and is rumored to still be out there taking ass and kicking names.
as a 135lbs martial artist, i feel like the "fighting stance" posture will be both helpful and familiar to me. i'll have to give it a shot next time i hit the range. thanks!
I do have a tip for you and anybody else who wants to try it out. I shoot a lot, & I'm known by friends for being a good shot and very knowledgeable about all things gun related. Something I didn't know that I do with my grip until recently, because 99% of my shooting is on my property alone, is that when I don't have a light on my pistol I have a normal right handed proper technique position, and I do my left hand exactly like you... High left hand angled forward heavily, but I feel like I have a tighter grip by adding this. The left index finger goes around the front of my trigger guard. Most of them have grip texture and it allows me to get the hand high without compromising the grip strength by bunching up my fingers. That index finger tucks the gun tighter into my hands and adds some extra downward pressure further forward on the gun than it otherwise would be. When I have a weapon mounted light, I shoot exactly like you do. Hopefully, you read this and you try it out, I'd love some feedback. Apologies for the long novel of a comment, it felt necessary to explain. Love the videos, and thanks again for putting me on the captured spring for the AR-15. That was the one thing I didn't consider.
I do the same thing! No flashlight, support hand index finger around the trigger guard. Lena Miculek also shoots with the same grip. If it works, it works. Probably the best shooter in my friend group. 🤷
I want to see 10mm recoil management on different people. Like a bodybuilder, rock climber, arm wrestler, masseuse, etc. two hand single hand. It would be interesting to analyze, and possibly design lower recoil hand cannons based on the data.
Great info, I tried the high left hand and it was a game changer! Only thing was after 200 rounds my left palm got abrasions from the slide or the slide lock.
Neat. I'm not really good with explaining guns. I can't remember who put one out over limp wristing a semi-auto causing it to jam, but it was handy a while back. One of my buddies girlfriend was shooting and kept jamming. Consistently. Shamed her for bad luck on my work pistol. Had a Beretta 92fs, jam. Sarsilmaz SAR 9mm (CZ clone)
One thing to keep in mind is when it comes to your support hand and riding high, is get it as high as possible WITHIN reason of your hand size, find that sweet spot where you can maintain sufficient contact and pressure. I've got small hands and if I try to roll my support hand as high and forward as I can i end up flaring the bottom of my hand off of the gun losing grip on the pistol. Just something to keep in mind.
If you ever shoot at someone shooting back at you, the "Fighting Stance" makes you a slimmer target and protects organs (a little bit) better. I'm 300lb+ but still train in the "Fighting Stance" I will be trying that grip tho. Thank You!!
I love your videos bro I got a Glock 40. Gen 4 I have you Heavy tension Is guide rod in it to keep the flip down. But this video shown me how to hold it better. The flip is amazing now barely any recorder thank you keep up the good work😊😊
Instead of getting in your instinctive fight stance you want to get in a switch stance (strong foot forward) helps you on leaning into the recoil while maintaining balance and works better for realistic tactical situations
Solid recommendations and I agree with using your off hand in a clamping motion when gripping your pistol. I never had solid muzzle flip control until I modified my gripping method using the clamping motion and began running this in all of my handgun drills and now it’s muscle memory and I have very little, if any muzzle flip while firing. Good video showing this technique.
Great video I was struggling a lot to visualize something that could help but I also bought a heavier hand gun now I realize that I was the problem lol
It's that case WHEN YOU KNOW that HE KNOWS what he's talking about. Dude is an absoulute monster with a handgun, best out of everyone I've seen on the internet so far
And like the big dude said also helps to have a dope gun like whatever he was shooting. Dope for me is a factory gun with smooth trigger. For me Smoother trigger equals “recoil doesn’t exist”. Like you said also weapon lights. They help in having the weapon shoot “flat”. Good video 🔥
Surprisingly, I discovered his channel not so long ago, hidden between hundreds of others, and at the moment it is probably one of the best in terms of efficiency and quality of knowledge presentation. Very clear and lucid! Nothing superfluous, no less, no more. Just right on target.

Thank you for the excellent tutorial without the theatrics. Right to the point, excellent camera view, step by step instructions, no digression

This is what I’ve been looking for. Just got my first 9mm, and while I’m a decent shot, I still feel like I’m not managing the recoil well enough and it’s 100% my stance/grip. You broke it all down mad well, thank you. I’ll be trying all of this next time I’m at the range.
This guy is really GOOD! Excellent education and training video.
Thanks so much for this. Quick, informative, and practical. I'm going to steal your left hand gripping technique.
I would really like to see more of this technique with out the light. Hand placement etc, I’m gonna try it at the range next week. If you can do vid on that it would be really helpful thanks!
I love you. Literally talked about and solved all of my issues in 5 minutes
I am also a small guy, this is PERFECT. THANK YOU!
Palm high on the slide (frame). Brilliant.
Damn, what a great simple to the point instructional video. thank you, I learned more in your video than the other channels
Love the tips. Perfect practice makes perfect, find out what works for you, and home your craft.
Stumbled on to this channel. Cant wait to try this out at the range! Thanks!
Man is so dedicated to showing us the ways that he went through several weather changes and is rumored to still be out there taking ass and kicking names.
My God, it's Jason Bourne!!..you are a machine !!..great weapon management!!!👍
My absolute favorite youtube channel. Thank You Sir
Kudos sir on your style and delivery
Great video. So thankful my dad taught me years ago to get in my "fighting stance" and then shoot.!
as a 135lbs martial artist, i feel like the "fighting stance" posture will be both helpful and familiar to me. i'll have to give it a shot next time i hit the range. thanks!
This higher support hand grip position reminds me of Bob Vogel's competition shooting grip. Really love your content!
I do have a tip for you and anybody else who wants to try it out. I shoot a lot, & I'm known by friends for being a good shot and very knowledgeable about all things gun related. Something I didn't know that I do with my grip until recently, because 99% of my shooting is on my property alone, is that when I don't have a light on my pistol I have a normal right handed proper technique position, and I do my left hand exactly like you... High left hand angled forward heavily, but I feel like I have a tighter grip by adding this. The left index finger goes around the front of my trigger guard. Most of them have grip texture and it allows me to get the hand high without compromising the grip strength by bunching up my fingers. That index finger tucks the gun tighter into my hands and adds some extra downward pressure further forward on the gun than it otherwise would be. When I have a weapon mounted light, I shoot exactly like you do. Hopefully, you read this and you try it out, I'd love some feedback. Apologies for the long novel of a comment, it felt necessary to explain. Love the videos, and thanks again for putting me on the captured spring for the AR-15. That was the one thing I didn't consider.
I do the same thing! No flashlight, support hand index finger around the trigger guard.
Lena Miculek also shoots with the same grip. If it works, it works. Probably the best shooter in my friend group. 🤷
@@BaritoneMonkey I'm glad somebody else who is a good shot does it as well. Thanks.
@@BaritoneMonkeyLena Miculek grip is slightly different but essentially same concept to get more downward pressure further forward
The one handed shooting at the end
I want to see 10mm recoil management on different people. Like a bodybuilder, rock climber, arm wrestler, masseuse, etc. two hand single hand. It would be interesting to analyze, and possibly design lower recoil hand cannons based on the data.
Masseuse may surprise people.. that occupation builds crazy strength in your fingers and forearms over time.
Hey man, i don't like to be serious to much, but honestly, you have made me a better shooter and been an inspiration, Thank you 😎👍
Love this shit dude. Good shit.
The Weaver, or boxing stance. Thanks for the information!!!!
As an instructor...this is EXACTLY how I grip and how I teach!!!!
Even down to the fighting stance!!!
Holy shit.
Great info, I tried the high left hand and it was a game changer! Only thing was after 200 rounds my left palm got abrasions from the slide or the slide lock.
Wow that was cool thanks for the training. This helps a lot. I really dig how u make this simple and to the point. Good job.
Big fan of your Chanel, thank you so much for helpful tips such as these. God bless you & God bless America
Neat. I'm not really good with explaining guns. I can't remember who put one out over limp wristing a semi-auto causing it to jam, but it was handy a while back.
One of my buddies girlfriend was shooting and kept jamming. Consistently. Shamed her for bad luck on my work pistol.
Had a Beretta 92fs, jam.

One thing to keep in mind is when it comes to your support hand and riding high, is get it as high as possible WITHIN reason of your hand size, find that sweet spot where you can maintain sufficient contact and pressure.
I've got small hands and if I try to roll my support hand as high and forward as I can i end up flaring the bottom of my hand off of the gun losing grip on the pistol. Just something to keep in mind.
If you ever shoot at someone shooting back at you, the "Fighting Stance" makes you a slimmer target and protects organs (a little bit) better. I'm 300lb+ but still train in the "Fighting Stance" I will be trying that grip tho. Thank You!!
I love your videos bro I got a Glock 40. Gen 4 I have you Heavy tension Is guide rod in it to keep the flip down. But this video shown me how to hold it better. The flip is amazing now barely any recorder thank you keep up the good work😊😊
Love your content and love watching you shoot. JM would be proud.
Instead of getting in your instinctive fight stance you want to get in a switch stance (strong foot forward) helps you on leaning into the recoil while maintaining balance and works better for realistic tactical situations
Thank you Sir. You're a great teacher
Thanks Nick keep up the great videos love your ch.
We need more with you & Honest outlaw together👍👍💙🔥
Solid recommendations and I agree with using your off hand in a clamping motion when gripping your pistol. I never had solid muzzle flip control until I modified my gripping method using the clamping motion and began running this in all of my handgun drills and now it’s muscle memory and I have very little, if any muzzle flip while firing. Good video showing this technique.
Another great video bro!! Keep'em comin'!!
Great video I was struggling a lot to visualize something that could help but I also bought a heavier hand gun now I realize that I was the problem lol
Thats a good walk through. Thanks for the input.
Keep up the good work.
It's that case WHEN YOU KNOW that HE KNOWS what he's talking about. Dude is an absoulute monster with a handgun, best out of everyone I've seen on the internet so far
Gotta love this guy's vybe!!
Simply the best on You Tube..Hands down…
Incorporated some tips in here and started punching straight. RO even commented on my improvement, felt good!! Time to increase distance
And like the big dude said also helps to have a dope gun like whatever he was shooting. Dope for me is a factory gun with smooth trigger. For me Smoother trigger equals “recoil doesn’t exist”. Like you said also weapon lights. They help in having the weapon shoot “flat”. Good video 🔥
Your an amazing teacher and I pray the gUn gods allow me to.experience many teachins by your hands
Wow ........... I love your channel .......... so impressive !!! and thrilled to know about Watch Tower ........ thank you so much ....... Retired LE
Surprisingly, I discovered his channel not so long ago, hidden between hundreds of others, and at the moment it is probably one of the best in
terms of efficiency and quality of knowledge presentation. Very clear and lucid! Nothing superfluous, no less, no more. Just right on target.
So glad I found this channel. Million subs one day for sure.
Very helpful, i am also a small guy and will give it a try. Thank you
Thanks, I always wondered why the front of the trigger guard looks like a trigger on the old Glock 17. You may have changed my grip for ever.
I started emulating your grip style a while ago and it's made a significant improvement for me ! Thanks mate !👍
Thank ya Nick, impressive as always.
SUBSCRIBED! Flawless shooting skills, sir 👏🏽👍🏽
Thank you for sharing your techniques. Very helpful!!!!
Really great honest content
