Solid basics, always a good foundation. They don't guarantee accuracy however. Some shooters struggle with flinching, blinking, and some don't even know which is their dominant eye. All of these things can be corrected through individual training.

Love this, great information and well presented with brilliant humor. Only thing missing is body position, breathing and mental mindset, but it’s basic fundamentals of marksmanship everyone should practice. I am saving this in my favorites for later viewing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

As seasoned users, we have become comfortable with our fire arm. The danger here is becoming more than comfortable; we can become complacent. Complacency kills. Reviewing this video periodically, if not frequently, can help keep beginners and seasoned users alike, al8ve, and well. Thanks so much for teaching the foundations of how to hold and fire a pistol correctly.

Have listened to a very well known champion shooter discuss experimenting with your index finger(and possibly middle finger also) wrapped across the front of the trigger guard. Have tried it. As long as the pressure is straight back it’s cool. I experimented with it but have returned to a traditional grip. Not everyone will do everything the same way.

I learned pistol shooting in the Corps during the 70s, only as a close combat weapon since as a grunt we were primarily focused on the M-16. I am certainly no expert but I learned with thumbs down to tighten the grip for stability in firing and to prevent losing it in a c.c. scenario. I had not fired since leaving the Corps until 2012 and since then I've been noticing this thumbs up and along the slide BS. I have assumed it is ideal for target shooting and competition shooting maybe but to me seems less than ideal for a defender. I'm getting reasonably tight, effective groups at 25 yards so haven't changed. I just hope all y'all 'thumbs up' folks don't have your gun snatched out of your hands if you ever have a close encounter.

My nephew kept complaining about his rounds pulling, I asked if he was anticipating and he said no. I asked to see his grip. First thing I noticed was his finger over the trigger guard. I showed him a correct grip and he didn't believe me but tried it the next time he went to the range. Surprise! No more pulling to one side. Right on target. I am not an expert but know the grip was one very important part of getting your rounds on target.

I'm sorry but please remember to employ all that in .6 seconds. Nothing you said was specifically wrong, except I know only very experienced shooters know how to shoot accurately. Even at close contact range. That's why so many shots miss. The vast majority of people (& even to a lesser extent, trained officers) will anticipate the firearms recoil, and flinch! In a combat situation I would stress natural pointing; trusting your instincts; & the understanding of your equipment (that is, a discharged firearm will & should rise as a function of phyisics). Rise is normal & acceptable, to be understood & appreciated, but not Anticipated (that leads to flinching). Proper control comes from training & experience. Let's hope ours is superior to our enemies 🙏

Missed the target? Well even if you were pointing correctly at said target a common occurrence for the miss is because the gun was moved slightly split seconds before the it fired. Usual causes are pushing or pulling to the left or right side by the the trigger finger or the hand itself.

The front of the trigger guard is flat or concave with checkering to enhance WEAPONS RETENTION. At almost all (98%) engagements you are within 21 feet from the bad guy. After almost 50 years as an LEO, 5 deadly force engagements and many armed confrontations with bad guys trying to take my weapon, I never lost the weapon, had it turned on me and double tapped all 5 engagements in the 10 ring. BTW, I NEVER see my weapon within 7 meters from a target.

Hello. I am by no means an ' expert ' marksman, but I am not a ' bad ' shooter. What I did was I started out very slow and steady making sure I get my ' master ' grip on the weapon. I started out shooting with just my ' dominant eye open until I could get a fairly good shot ' group ' where I was aiming. As I got used to my weapon going off more and more and gained the confidence in handling it, I started to open my other eye. It took awhile until I got used to it. Now I shoot with both eyes open or my less ' dominant ' eye slightly open. You will get used to that. Both eyes open; even if one is slightly open seems to be the most accurate for me. Also, when you close one eye, your peripheral vision is ' lost ' on that side. Close one eye and you'll see what I mean. Both eyes open gives you the best chance in a self-defense scenario. Stay healthy out there. Peace and Freedom for All!
