I reviewed this video and went through my fundamentals which revealed several issues with both grip and trigger control. I went to the range and only shot 20 rounds using this video. My shooting ability increased 100% at 10 yards got multiple bull’s-eye shots kept a 3/5 shot string all an acceptable area

    Look, it doesn't matter what your background is, Mike Glover gives you what has cost him a lifetime to learn. He wants you to be better. He wants good people to prevail. He wants you to come to a class, but he knows that isn't always possible. The least you can do is download the wisdom presented and practice it in whatever manner you can afford (time and money doesn't grow on trees). My friend Pat Rogers, rest in peace and create havoc, used to always say "you have the rest of your life" to conquer the issue at hand, "don't fuck up".
    Fundamentals aren't sexy. Step by step seems beneath us. I would submit to you that there is absolutely nothing that works, lasts, or performs without proper foundation. Take your time. You have the rest of your life.
    Mike, thank you.
    Pat, we are diminished.

    Outstanding instruction as usual, Mike! Some time ago I watched one of your older videos on pistol stuff where you described the hammer grip. That was really a big one for me in improving my shooting. I've also found that working on my one-handed shooting at least as much as my two-handed shooting has worked wonders for every aspect of my shot process (not to mention that it is an absolutely critical skill in defensive shooting). One-handed shooting will make you highly aware of a limp wrist if you're paying any attention to what you're doing! I'm looking forward to training with you in the not-too-distant future. Blessings, and thank you for your continued service to your country and its citizenry.

    Mike, sincerely.. I just wanted to thank you for your hard work and the effort that goes into creating these videos. And I mean ALL the effort, from directly creating it, your deployments and experience in the past and to deciding to give your time and expertise to teach us. I just took my basic pistol course two days ago and got certified for concealed carry. I owe A LOT of the confidence I had when manipulating my firearm to you. From watching and rewatching your videos countless times and practicing in my room. I executed when it really mattered and passed my class. Because of your vids, my groupings at 7 yards and beyond were stellar. Not to toot my own horn, I observed the other students targets and concluded that had they been aware of a valuable resource like this channel, they could have passed their tests too. So thank you again
