I shoot better with a one handed grip both left and right. The only time I shoot better with a two handed grip is when it is supported.
ReplyDeleteTsquared: A real man, here, guys..... take note!
DeleteIt’s a “hand-gun,” not a “hands-gun!”
Commit to not being a puss, fellows.
Handgun friends, if your next over/under score at the range is not pretty close to what you expected, 1) you're not shooting enough; and/or 2)! You need to pay bettet attention to where your trigger breaks; and 3) you should pay better attention to where you're putting bracing pressure with your off-hand index finger.

I had gotten sloppy with my grip. THIS vid reminded me of how to grip AGAIN. THIS took a lot of my jitters out when I draw down. This is a help for my Shooting. It wasn't terrible just not as consistent as I wanted....IS NOW ....THANK YOU MUCH!
ReplyDeleteI shoot better with a two-handed grip when there's a butt in each hand...
ReplyDeleteI honestly can't understand why this new version of handgun shooting teaches you to square up to your target. I can see that this may be fine for target shooting or just plinking cans but it makes no sense to me to expose all your vital organs to your adversary in a real world gunfight especially without body armor. You're fighting from a modified horse stance with your shoulders square to your feet and your arms extended.. I was taught many years ago to quarter stong side back feet roughly aligned with your shoulders by my father and uncle,both army veterans from WW2 and renenforced by my DI at MCRD San Diego. Maybe it's because I've done it so long that way it's more natural and comfortable and I shoot well that way. I just don't see myself changing the way I do it. Whatever works for you is best for you. Be safe out there

I still shoot with a sloppy (excuse me, a modified) Weaver stance. It just feels more natural to me.
DeleteI agree, plus I seem to have developed a astigmatism a few years back and my front sight is easier to aquire with the sloppy, er modified, stance.

Modern body armor very effectively covers the vitals from the front. Quartering towards the threat removes roughly 1/3 of that coverage.
DeleteR Douglas... true but what are the odds you'll be out getting gas or something heading home from work and you having body armor on ? When the crackhead approaches you can you effectively stand square to him knowing he's not armed ? How about in a large parking lot and homeboy decides to jack you, where's your body armor ? Odds are you don't have it on if you even own any. So saying all this I understand your point but I don't believe it is relative to the discussion. Quartering reduces the body mass exposed to the adversary, easier to move into and from and, to me anyway, a more natural approach to the situation. Professional fighters, boxing, mix martial arts and the guy fucking with you in a bar isn't standing in a outreaching square position, they are normally strong side slightly back with hands in a more natural position.
DeleteLike I said before, do what works for you but as for me I'm not going to that approach.

Met the guy once at a shooting academy a friend took me to for a fun day. Friend introduced me they were both Marines. One of the first contestants on top shot as well. His pedigree at the time spoke for itself. Still doing training somewhere in the area but not at the place I went to.
