I really like listening to this guy speak. He is clear, concise and to the point.
I'm a Royal Malaysian Police, and I love your videos regarding firearms sir ..God bless 👍
As a gang banger in LA, I approve this message
Would love to try and get a patch if y'all have one, I'll see if my department has any extras
Working on actual grip strength is a great piece of bonus advice. Another piece of “bonus” advice I would like to add is for the gun itself. Your trigger pull weight should be equal to the weight of the gun itself. When you have a high trigger weight, it ensures that more movement is introduced into the gun during firing, thus bringing it out of the target line. With polymer frames, usually much more so than with all-steel pistols. Here's an example: with a CZ 75 Shadow 2, the factory trigger weight in single-action mode is roughly equal to the pistol's total weight - the ratio is almost 1:1. With a polymer pistol, such as a Glock G17 with a total weight of about 700 grams and a trigger weight of about 2.1 kg, the ratio tips toward an unfavorable 3:1 factor. This is why grip is so important and further adds to Mr. Sajnog explanation of competitive shooters with heavy guns and light triggers not needing as tight of a grip. Beginners usually do better at targets with all steel guns for this reason.
Excellent lesson. When my father taught me to shoot a handgun, he addressed most of these issues. I worked on my grip strength, and a consistent grip. When I paid attention to these key points, my shooting was consistent. By the time I was in my teens, I was able to shoot comfortably with one hand, and either hand. Keeping that gun steady is key, and a trigger pull that doesn't move the gun either. I am a can killer!!
Really good instructions, thank you sir. Showed me exactly how my grip has been wrong and why I’m constantly shooting low left. I will definitely apply the lessons learned here and get it right. Appreciate it!!!👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
I've been involved in training sessions (Police Academy and US Army) where several different methods were shown on how to hold and fire a pistol, however, this video is BY FAR THE BEST training I have ever experienced. I now have a much better understanding of why I should hold the pistol this way and what differences it makes to hold it any other way. Thank you for the information and thank you for an excellent video.
You're not only a hero to many, you're an EXCELLENT instructor! Thank you for your service, Chris!
When you mentioned the empty space between the support hand and the grip if the support hand wasn't placed correctly, I knew that was one of the biggest detractors to my grip. Thank you for this video, it really helped!
Chris thanks for your service to our country! Thanks too for the videos. Shooting pistols is a new interest of mine, and I enjoy your work.
you may find the work of Clint Smith more informative and entertaining
The barrel "inline" with your forearm was great, when everyone used the weaver stance. Not so good now, using the isometric triangle stance(isosceles). Your gun natural wants to point to the left this way. I move my strong hand slightly around the gun, to put it in a better spot for the triangle. This also helps you get more of your support hand on the grip, in a HIGHER, MORE FORWARD position. Which is perfect for recoil management. I also pull back on the front of the trigger guard, with the pointing finger, of my support hand. I used to miss left, until I changed to this grip. Try it!!!
The best explanation on grip that I've ever heard.
@Chris Sajnog - Thank you for your help. I've seen many many many videos on shooting/gripping pistols and I can say with full confidence that your videos are by far the best. I tried many ways shown on many gun channels to shoot better but yours was the key. Your method helped me understand the fundamentals of good shooting with any pistol of any size and caliber.
Thank you for your time and knowledge and your service to the U.S. military.
So glad I found this video I could not for the life of me figure out why my shots kept pulling to the side! I watched this video and started practicing getting myself into that perfect grip. The next time I was out at the range my buddy said it was like watching a completely different shooter. I gave him the name of your channel and he should be checking it out soon! Thank you I appreciate the help!
Your advice is helping me tremendously! I will do the grip exercises and when I finally make it to go shooting, keeping in mind your sage advice.
just think of what replacing your glock with a real target pistol would do....
Got some range time in front of me, after enough dry fire practice, I can shoot MOA with just about any rifle, not so much with a pistol. This video helped!! Thanks!!
Phenominal, Thank you for this wonderful instruction...My groups changed dramatically after studying this video and tweaking my mistakes, amazing disciplines.

Chris, I really appreciate how you make so much sense with you instructions, easy to understand and not condescending. I'm going to teach my 16 Y.O. daughter about guns, safety and shooting. This video will go a long way in doing that successfully. Thank you
Ran across this video and was pleased to see all of your successes and the TREMENDOUS positive impact that you have had on so many. Has been many years since you first arrived at BMC Panama City. CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!
Dont know why there are thumbs down for a veteran who was trained by our government , especially Navy Seal.............
Thanks Chris. you have my thumb up.......
Because he may be saying or doing things that someone does not agree with and may feel it is not helpful. ALL SOF dudes are trying to make a buck, good on them. But each preaches their philosophy or poo-poo others techniques, etc. What makes this guy thee authority?
Wow, I'm so glad I found this video. I just bought my first hand gun and want to learn correct grip and the reasons why it is correct. Thanks!
Thank you for the tip! One pointer in your video about support thumb in relation to trigger finger made the clarification that no other videos did. For the first time using your grip I can pull double action trigger with absolute steady hand, barrel, and sight!
You can definitely train me any day on handguns! Your such a dynamic and prolific teacher. I'm so blessed to have found you. I will be transferring to a Glock from my Revolver in May. You explain things in simple terms and you have so much patience. Thank you 😊 and God bless!
Great video. Alot of this hit home for me. I'm always shooting low and left. Definitely gonna work on my grip. Really enjoyed the video and gonna remember what you said next time I go to the range!
I have watched 5 or 6 videos on gripping the gun, and this one makes the most sense.
You are awesome!! I learn from understanding and your explanation of the mechanics and physics of why goes on makes so much sense to me that when I put it into practice it’s almost second nature!! Keep these videos coming !! I’ll be supporting you for sure!!
Absolutely THE BEST grip video out there. Can't wait to try this technique this weekend at the range.
Try it at home first!
This was the best block of instruction I heard on pistol grip. I have been taught by academy instructors but for some reason this was more detail and thorough. Thank you!
This makes complete and total sense. Thanks for posting, Chris.
Thank you so much. Can’t wait to hit the range and make those adjustments. Stay blessed my dude.
Excellent explanation 👌
Well explained and not so exhaustive as to be frustrating. This is informative that is immediately actionable. Thank you Chris.
I just got my pistol license. I’m so glad I came across your page!! great explanation on how to grip gun!! Can’t wait to watch all your other videos! Thank you for making these videos!!
Excellent instruction Chris, I know one helluva lot of Law Enforcement Agencies that would benefit from just this one video.
The thing is . This makes perfect sense
I’ve been shooting the same style weapon for over 25 years ( Sig Sauer P22x platform))
And this video gave me several areas to improve on
Thank you
And thank you for your service to our nation
It is quite pleasant when a speaker is emanating experience and time--tried advice. No need for flashy lights, just pure knowledge. Bravo, Seal.
USMC,US Army
Always great to review the basics to keep everything square and straight - Thanks, Chris ~
great content as always
Simple yet very informative. Exactly what I needed. Now I know what I should be doing. Thank you!
Love it, you nail it on this that others well-intended tend to confuse new shooters about, I am sharing this with my friends. The gun becomes part of you just as the arrow becomes part of our pointing finger for instinctive (no sights or aiming methods) archery, only we are using the sights on the handgun if possible. If no time for sights, this you teach helps tremendously to still have everything work well for point shooting.
Everything he is saying is spot on I’ve been shooting for over twenty years after doing all his videos shooting ten fold better.thank Chris
God Bless Be Safe
Thank you so much for this video. Practicing at home, I can already see what I've been doing wrong at the range. Subscribed and looking forward to checking out the rest of your content.
I know a Ranger and a few Seals...every single one has shown me this exact same form. Safe to say it's the best way to go. Great video!
Great video. I'm constantly learning. Thank you for the instruction and thank you for your service!
Excellent video. Chris, thanks for the simple to understand instructions, and thank you for your service 🇺🇸
Thanks you for these videos I am a first time gun owner and safety is my first concern. You instill confidence in me with your instruction and calm manner. Also ..Thanks you for your service as well Subscribed, liked and looking forward to more !
Chris, Really love the way you explain. Keep up good work
Great instruction. Answered many questions I've had. Thank you. Gonna pass this on.
This is by far the best instruction for proper gripping technique. Cheers!
Good video Chris! Thank you for your service to our country!!
Chris now's what he is talking about I bought his book I was in the army since I have been using Chris's info I have improved a 110 percent it has got rid of a lot of my bad technics I was doing listen to him and practice practice practice ty chris for helping me and my family become a better shooter
This was fantastic information, thanks for taking the time to put it together!
Thanks, Chris. I have watched a lot of "how to grip pistols" videos and each time the same general rules are gone over, but each person says something new that someone else hasn't. In this one, it was the loosening of your lower fingers to check your grip, trigger finger and left thumb alignment, and not placing your trigger finger until you have your proper grip set up. I was taught differently about where my trigger finger should fall.
My wife is getting into shooting so I had her watch this video first. We went to the range and her shooting and understanding increased immensely. We both shot better. Excellent video.... Basics! Basics! Basics!
Thank you Chris
Dope
Wish we had that freedom...
Awesome job Chris! Thx!
This was a fantastic instructional video. Keep up the good work. Thanks for taking the time to make this video and uploading it for others to learn.
Spot on information Mr. Sajnog. Every one ought to have the opportunity to see your series and learn.
Was always told trigger control. But until I worked on grip that’s when I became a consistently better pistol shooter. Thanks for the great info.
Chris this is awesome instruction! I have been shooting a long time and still I've learned a lot from you. Thanks for posting, and Chris Thank You for your service! God Bless America!
I learned more from this short video than I have with anybody trying to assist a new shooter. God Bless and thank you.
CHRIS:
In 2016 I returned to airgunning. I started researching techniques to shoot both my pistols and rifles more accurately. I realized that videos of real steel/powder burning 'experts' would have techniques that I could transfer to my own field.
I have to say that this is the most informative (and correct) of all the videos I've watched. Including those made by competition shooters. Not only did you explain (in easily understandable words and examples) the proper way to grip, but also what happens when you don't grip properly.
I was also pleased to see that you were 'shooting' with both eyes open. I learned, and practices that, even before I had my cataract operation. And now that I've had it, and continue that method, my accuracy has improved to what it was (or better) when I received my awards in the Canadian Cadet Corp as a youth.
I look forward to more of your videos (and downloading & sharing them). This one will be shared with the many air pistol groups I am with on FB from around the world.
DOC
Great video. Always trying to find ways to improve and thought your tactics were right on point.
By far the best explanation yet!!! Just evening out the thumb and finger makes a huge difference!!! Also thank you for your service!!!!
Have a good evening.
Thumb press grip feels better to me
Yea man feels a lot better then the way i was holding it
Was thinking the same thing
my exact experience..
Your grip that you show increased my pistol league scores by almost 20 points on average. Incredible! Thanks!
that might help but selling your glock and buying a better gun will probably add another 20 points to your score.
@Tony Stark difference between a $500 Glock and a $1,000 1911? The Glock still needs work once you buy it lol.
I’ve been watching way too many grip videos and I’m getting all sorts of contradictory advice but intuitively, this grip seems to make the most sense and I will be trying it the next time I hit the range
This video made an immediate improvement in accuracy, Thank You.
I will definitely subscribe. The technique you show to eliminate shake is what i taught myself to train out my tremors. You are a smart guy with excellent means of knowledge conveyance.
Thank you for your video. I've not shot a pistol before, thank you for explaining the reason why you do what you do.
I learned exactly what I have been doing wrong for a long time. Holding my gun the way you show takes a little practice but absolutely see a nice difference in performance. Thank you for sharing this one invaluable tip.
Excellent advice - thank you! You have a gift for explaining things so that they are easy to understand. Thanks again
Chris is spot on!!! A lot of this we taught on Paris Island but he explains it a lot better!!!
Excellent points Chris. A good check on the placement of your support hand, especially thumb placement, is natural sight alignment. A sidearm should be a natural extension of your body and once you can master grip placement the sights become irrelevant especially in close combat. The ability to put a bullet in a vital area that will neutralize the attacker should be as natural as walking. This also requires a sidearm that fits the shooter instead of the shooter adjusting to the sidearm. Great video!
This was the second time I watched the video and it really came together for me this time. I was doing a couple of things wrong, and I think you've sorted me out. Just small things, but already my grip feels right, where before I was uncomfortable. This seems to have worked practicing at home. We'll see how I do at the range. I'm just a novice, so every bit helps right now. There's so much to learn, and it's going to take patience. I'll check back in in a few days, hopefully with a better target group. Thank you.
Wow thank you for this video. My instructor taught me well I guess. I watched a few videos and they all said "place your finger here on the trigger" "that part of the knuckle should be there" etc then I watch your videos and that's exactly what my instructor from last year taught me. Thank you!
Great video and explanation "in layman terms" to a relatively new shooter in PA. I do struggle with the grip, but I am drawing from a holster, so this one will have me looking at things differently next time I go to the range. Can't wait to try these techniques out!
Great lesson and would also appreciate some tips on gripping revolvers - some of us old timers still shoot "wheel guns" too !
This gave me more confidence to handle firearms. Thank you for the tips and for your service to America.
Awesome training that we all need to adhere to! Thank you for your service sir.
Thank you! I’ve been using full-size pistols for years, now training with compacts. It’s hard for me to get the sites lined up. After watching this, it became simple.And THANK YOU For saying finger position on trigger doesn’t matter. I’ve been arguing with people for years on this. God bless and thank you for your service sir!
You are good, thanks for you’r video!
Great video Chris
Thanks for the advice Chris. Good video.
Chris, thank you so much for your video on proper pistol grip. After watching your video I practiced at home,dry firing, and then went to the range. I couldn't believe it! The guy next to me was like,"Dude! Your grouping is awesome!" I told him, "I know! I watched Chris Sajnog on RUclips! " You have changed the way I shoot forever! Thank you!

This is very informative... Thanks!
VERY valuable information and instruction!
Great information Chris.
Well explained, covered those not taught by my instructor.
Great grip training - answered questions I've been asking myself - and it works. Thanks.
there is a reason he doesn't explain it like Jerry Mikulek... he can't come out of seal training and compete as a professional shooter and win 100K prizes... because competing with a Glock is a major setback, but the military doesn't really let you know that do they... lol nope.
@Tony Stark common sense says that masters of modern pistolcraft use a 1911 like Chris Kyle did.
@Tony Stark in the military the motto is "it doesn't matter what you shoot if you suck at shooting"
@Tony Stark you dont see nobody taking a glock to the olympics do you?
@Tony Stark oh i agree a glock 19 is perfect for her to use to save her life
Excellent ,informative video. Thank You and God Bless you and yours.
Very informative video, thankyou. An honor to get instruction & tips from someone in the Special Forces community. Thank you for your dedication & service.
This information has been very informative as well as a great teaching tool in achieving a more secure grip that works.

SIR, IT'S AN HONOR LEARNING YOUR MILITARY WAYS SO I CAN IMPROVE MY SHOOTING SKILLS. AND CONGRATS ABOUT YOUR FAMILY, THE GREATEST DECISION A MAN CAN TAKE. WE WANT TO BE WITH OUR FAMILIES AND SPEND EVERY MOMENT WITH THEM. GODSPEED.

Thank you so much...I've figured out a lot of my grouping issues simply by working on my grip...EXCELLENT advice.
Awesome Chris!
I’m taking my Son to my indoor range today and having you as his first perfect practice grip instructor makes my exact same grip instructing a breeze.
Thanks as always for your Service Sir!
🙌🏼❤️🇺🇸❤️🙌🏼
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome. Thanks Brother In Arms. The Front Sight Video Was Also Amazing. It Really Works. I'm 60 and it changed my whole way of shooting. Wish I was 18 again. Lol.
Thank you! I'm gonna be a first time gun owner soon and I'm trying to get as much information as possible before.
@Rogue Standards lmao what are you 12? "I'm more likely to take the gun away from you" nice job trying to look cool on RUclips comments.
Great advice I’m a new shooter and I will highly recommend this video to any new shooters. Thank you
I am taking this to heart. I'll practice this, great advice and thanks!
Just want to say how incredibly helpful this video was, the explanation of the space allowed for the weak hand was perfect. I’ve seen others explain the method thumbs pointing downward etc but it wasn’t until practicing while watching this video that I had my “ah hah moment”. Thanks again, you’ve gained a subscriber.
Ok no no h
My
His book says, “Highlight reels are the result of virtuosity in fundamentals.” Sage advice.
Super good video - thank you! Simple, concise and well presented.
Thank you for the video along with your service to our country 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
