Ive been shooting for almost 25 years, after 10's of thousands of rounds dowrange and several pistol instructions, Im still suffering grip issues that degrade my accuracy. This video was right on time because about a month ago, I began the mission to break everything down and build everything back up, starting with my grip. Thank you for this. This timely video is a sign I guess Im on the right track.

While the grip plays a key role, the largest killer of accurracy is YOU. Most notably, building the stamina to hold steady on target and the ability to override the monkey brain instinct to anticipate. The single biggest thing to improve my skills was a .22 sig mosquito. Instant feedback from real live fire, but with reduced recoil and concussion to remove the involuntary reactions. Transitioning back to a carry round (9mm for me) brought my 3 yard groups in from a few inches over 10 rounds to about 3/4". Recently did a course centered around the 10' distance and through 150 rounds fired, I never had anything outside 3/4" of the intended point of impact. A few thousand rounds through a .22 while focusing solely on the fundamentals is what did it. Grip, Stance, Sight Picture, Trigger control, Follow through. Repeat.

This video is a big help. I work in law enforcement and during my first year I suffered big issues on the range with accuracy. We had several training officers overseeing recruits shooting. I kept getting the “You can’t shoot for shit” speech. When I asked what I was doing wrong, I was told “I don’t know I wasn’t paying attention.” They left it at that and I had to figure it out on my own.

I've watched the vid 3 times to absorb what you were saying and think it through with dry fire. Then I went to the range and began to experiment with the "principles" and increase my speed. It worked! I mean it worked wonders on my ability to shoot accurately at speed. I still struggled to not want to over extend my support arm because that's how I have done it for years but my grip is a lot more solid thinking about locking the middle finger and pinky finger around my corresponding trigger hand fingers and indexing. Once that muscle memory is there, I feel like I'm going to be past a current plateau. Thanks man!

Ron Avery does a very interesting module on grip where he has students take a sopping wet thick handtowel and wring it out hard, strong hand rotating knuckles down and support hand rotating knuckles up. That combination of gripping firming but also using counter rotational force was a real *lightbulb* moment. It gets your strong hand tensioning downward through the pinky and the supporthand grinding the meat of the palm into the top of the grip, under the slide lock. Friction and tension is what you're after. Doesn't take crushing hand/finger strength, just engaging the larger muscle groups in the correct direction with good grip coverage on the gun. Interesting stuff!

Train grip strength. Rolling thunder, pinch block, gripping plates, CoC hand grippers, deadlift. With training and nutrition, your hands can become incredibly strong. It takes that much less effort to control a weapon when your hands and fingers are strong. It doesn't translate as effectively as other grip elements, but CoC recommends that you should be able to close a #2 gripper if you're in law enforcement.

Pretty good stuff. It's about on par with what most of the heavier competitive shooters who use two hands are saying. I would say that a stronger "shooting hand" grip will cause problems with trigger press since the finger is doing something completely against the rest of the hand. That being said... With MUCH practice, you can have almost a death grip with the "shooting hand" and get away with it. But this is 1000's of rounds being able to master that type of grip strength with an isolated trigger finger. We used to say that if the grip stippling wasn't leaving marks in the hands, you weren't gripping tight enough.

Racemind Suspension & Wiring you can’t shoot low and left if when you pull the trigger and the gun is aimed where you want. The bullet is down range before the slide even begins to move. The gun goes low left because of support hand grip for a righty and it was pointed there when you pulled the trigger. Grip your pistol with your strong hand and let it hang naturally. Stand in front of a mirror. Is the gun in line with your arm or canted to the right? If you shoot left I bet you $$ it’s canted to the right. No one teaches this part of the grip. You can’t see it unless you look in a mirror. Looking down at your hand won’t work. Try it and let me know. Glad you fixed your low and left. It’s obvious but people don’t think about this....if the holes aren’t where your eyes were aimed then the sights were lined up with your eyeballs when you pulled the trigger. I teach this all the time. It works

When the intro showed you moving the shooter's thumb and telling him he shouldn't have movement there, I thought "oh no, another instructor who teaches like the placement of the thumbs is actually the important aspect of the grip..." But good thing I decided to continue watching, because then I noticed that you're including the thumb as part of the whole equation about making the most contact with the firearm with your support hand, which is 100% correct. So thanks for the informative video, I'll definitely be trying out some of the things you mentioned in this video that I do differently to see if it improves my performance.

Different size hands have different pull of the trigger. Here is the example, and it will be the 1911 pistol. The 1911 pistol slides back and forth, it does not pivot. Well, those of us with longer fingers still have to deal with a pivot, left or right depends on left or right hand. My right hand moves from right to left, in addition to the rear. It is how the knuckle and fingers were designed. I need a long trigger, and the arched mainspring housing. The large grip of the Glock helps. I agree about grip. I was told wrong by many experts (and they are experts) about not having a death grip. I decided that is a subjective term. And watching a video from Rob Leatham, I decided to try a much tighter grip, rather than a really firm grip. It helps. Well done.

REALLY good stuff! (Got me to subscribe) When I put my support thumb as far forward as a lot of people, it takes my palm off my grip on the support side. Great to hear someone give broader principles. ... I'm going to watch this again...

I've shot lots of handguns during my time in the military but never for competitions, just a rough qualifications and the "training" for it wasn't great (big shocker I know haha). So, fast forward several years later I buy my first handgun and take it to the range. I find out I'm pulling lower and to the left. After 200 rounds it's slowly coming towards being just low. But, now I'm getting frustrated and start researching like crazy. Come to find out I'm cross eye dominant (right handed/left eye). Shot so much better but I'm a perfectionist, so now I'm researching: grip, pressure points, alignment, adjusting my sights, etc. and out of the several hrs of reading/watching videos this guy explains why I'm missing in the first 5 mins. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I can't wait to test this at the range... and yes, I shoot a Glock 19 Gen 4.

Low left with my XDm 5.25 9mm... your video gaves me a solution to test. Sometime I can have good shot but 14 on 50 (at 25 meters no have closer range)... will try your method ;) Thanks for this video

Excellent video. I had a moment of epiphany while watching this video and came to the realization that Sight Picture, Grip, and Trigger Movement are inseparable. The best way to maintain a good sight picture is to have a vice-like grip on the pistol so that small deviations on the direction of trigger pull will not disturb the pistol after the shot breaks as the trigger completes its overtravel. Of course, one should still strive to pull the trigger straight to the rear without pushing or pulling the gun in any direction. Though, however miniscule, there will always be a small amount of torque applied to the pistol from the trigger pull. The idea is to minimize it by gripping the pistol as hard as humanly possible without sacrificing sight alignment and speed. At least this is how I understood the effects of grip on handgun accuracy.

My extra long fingers completely wrap around my handgrip of my Sig P365X and touch the base of my thumb. There is no open area for my support hand on the handgrip. The trigger contact point on my trigger finger that results in a neutral trigger pull, where I am neither pushing the pistol to the left or pulling it to the right, is just before the first finger joint. If I try to contact the forward side of the grip module with my support hand thumb, it interferes with my protruding trigger finger. There is also insufficient room on the forward side of the grip module to support it with my thumb without also likely riding the slide. The best that I can do is cup my firing hand with my support hand. On the positive side, my grip is strong enough to visibly deform the polymer handgrip module.

Grip consistency is a huge issue for me, especially after a reload. I shot my first IDPA match of the season yesterday and did horrible! A lot of factors came into play, including I am sick, and it was cold out; both things I should be able to fight through and still do much better than I did; this is only my second season shooting competition. In reviewing my GoPro video, I can see some of the top of my gun and hands (I had the GoPro set for narrow, I need to set it for wider so that I can see my hands better), and I notice several times that my support hand thumb is not even touching the gun. If the thumb is not touching, how bad is my entire grip? I'm back at the range on Tuesday, I will watch this video again before I go. Thank you! And you have earned me as a subscriber with just this one video!

Double. I shoot comp with a Sig P320 Full size. (I carry a compact) When I saw horrible, I should point out that had I shot only 1/2 as good in a real, defensive situation, I probably would have walked away, but I got a lot of down 1s and 3s.

While gripping the gun with proper technique, try to apply inward twisting pressure with both hands into the gun. It will feel like the balls of your thumbs (the 1st joint where thumb attaches to hand) are squeezing the gun between them... you’ll notice the recoil will be much less, and follow up shots much easier. Also doesn’t hurt to practice transitions during dryfire practice gripping only with the left hand. Practice proper pressure and keeping the sight picture. Happy training 👍🏼

Totally agree with this. I was an Air Force combat arms instructor with 13 years experience and grip has been, is, and will always be a major pistol shooting issue. I see guys and gals all the time with solid basics but they are limp with the hands. I’m a police officer now and we are transitioning from .357 Sigs to the P320 in 9mm and one of the reasons is how much easier it is to shoot the 9 over the .357 cause of snappiness. The problem isn’t the round, it’s the fact that 98% of the shooters don’t grip the gun right.

Thank you for this, love it.. I've started practicing standard Glock 17 no mods, hard trigger pull, have tried your target for a month or so and every error popped out, good for alternating 3m guerilla and 10m breast target, I'll give it a year and 6000 rounds to get consistent with the time limit..

And to think that I've been told I must not know what I'm doing with my grip (what you're prescribing) for years by "teacuppers," and by your typical Ranger Joe at the range. Yet, this absolutely will tighten up that shot group at a moment's notice.
