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?

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!!

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!!!

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.

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!

Chris I bought and have read your book and practice the grip and stance 15 minutes per day, recently I was facing one of our large mirrors and noticed that the gun tilts alittle to left. Probably from a severally broken wrist when I was younger, seeing in the mirror has allowed me to adjust. Great videos as well.

@richardkramer1094 4 жыл бұрын

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!
