This is the most informative and detailed presentation on these topics I've ever seen before. Can't wait to get to the range to see how well I can take advantage of Sean's instruction.
It feels like I've watched every pistol diagnostic video ever, and never left a comment. This video was practical, informative as hell and funny. High rewatch value, great work.
Working on adding to this one. I wasn't sure how it would be received as it is very different from most of the other content on here, but as of late it is being watched more than anything else on my channel. I guess that's a sign!
A great video!! Being able to do something is not the same as being able to articulate exactly HOW to do something. Sean can clearly do both, thank you for the video.
Holy crap! This awesome video was made three years ago, how am I just now seeing it!? Great video, thank you so much for the information, you’re the best!
This is a great video, it really helped me sort out how to "double-tap". I incorrectly assumed it was necessary to have a customized "race gun", or that at least some mods were necessary. Thank you!
Now the next step is to train your vision so as to not blindly rely on "double taps" and learn to see your sights lift after every trigger pull. Faster vision is the key to truly accurate faster shooting.
Excellent description of proper grip. I've been trying to practice "gripping with my palm" myself. Thanks for explaining with detail all the intricacies of your grip, it will help me and others immensely!
I like the fact that you don’t try and tell people to copy exactly what works for you. The explanation of the simple mechanics makes great sense also. Your tip on transitioning from up to down tip is something I need to investigate too! Because I will tend to tuck my head down, and get my right shoulder behind the gun, and allow the recoil to absorb into my shoulder. My theory on this is it allows the pistol energy to move back instead of up. Your grip explanation was great too! People don’t realize how important that pinky finger is for a good grip! Great video! And great points! Thank you for taking the time and using clear explanations of your techniques!
This video has been tremendously helpful. That tip about the elbow being cocked so it's parallel with the ground was the final thing I needed. I was shooting in what you called a more relaxed elbow position. Can't believe it took me a few months to realize your forearms can barely recoil upwards when your elbow is cocked like that. The joints can't move in that position very much. Instead they end up going straight back in recoil. In slow motion the wave going through the arms is far less vertical too so everything settles back quicker. Great stuff!
thanks for the advice shot revolvers for 35 yrs went to a MnP 40 and every time i come back from the range my wrists are killing me as i have to self diagnose my problems i rely on videos like this to help me out must say this was easier to understand than the other 4 videos i watched tonight !!!!
Been doing this a long time and still love watching these shooting fundamentals vids. I think you just helped me diagnose an issue with my grip. Can’t wait to test it out on the range. Thank you, Sir.
These are fundamental, but it takes consistent reps to maintain. There are a lot of advanced concepts here, and it is the truly good pros that can keep them all in check when execution matters.
Thanks for an outstanding lesson on recoil management, Sean. This was 14 minutes very well spent! I’m looking forward to incorporating the elevated support elbow into my dry fire practice today.
Great tips. Thank you. I've found grip strength workouts help a lot, and sometimes I roll my shoulders inward to increase the clamping pressure near the top of the grip/pistol. I usually get better trigger pulls when I imagine my hands wrapped tightly around the gun as a single unit. People usually underestimate the amount of strength needed to shoot a handgun effectively. Those who tell you to relax your grip usually already have extremely high grip strength where their 50% probably exceed the 90% of the general population.
Thanks, great video. I am a 71 yrs old female (if I'm allowed to define) starting out 3 years ago. Going for my first iron sight competition with a H&K VP9 on Saturday. Invaluable tips. Going to practice today. Right off I noticed that I need to correct my head position from turtling to upright. Really nice location you've got there too!

@@SeanGoBoom awww that was cool to get a reply from you. I didn’t place with iron sights but i did come in 1st place and 2nd in two field shoots with optics. That was awesome! Thankfully some of the top shooters were missing from our local competition, lol.
My pleasure. I've invested a lot of time and money to get where I am, and I'm just getting started. I don't feel like hiding it is appropriate. I want there to be as many responsible and skilled gun owners as possible. Education is key to safe and effective firearms handling.
Very detailed video on the realities of "recoil control". I think the thing I see the most when people have problems is they dont practice drawing into a proper grip and they lean back instead of into the gun slightly. Big thing once you get past the basics is moving from a trigger squeeze to a trigger press. If you want to shoot fast you have to have that trigger familiarity and learn to press, not a rushed squeeze or slap.
"Press" or "squeeze" they are just words. I've heard instructors say it both ways. The principle is to not mess up the sights. I know guys that outright slap the trigger and get accurate consistent shots. So, in the end no matter what word you use, not messing up the sights is the name of the game.
Skeptical at first but a great video. There is one thing that I am thinking does more control is the pressure of the web of the hand and the small finger. It also doesn't help if there is damage to the wrists. Most people can't control muzzle flip not because of their grip but because they let go after the explosion.
I’ve never heard that info relayed and displayed like you have in that video. Excellent job on that. I’m heading to my range in a few hours and will watch this again, and try to execute these methods today. Thank you very much for sharing!
I was an NYPD cop for 11+ years. Always shot 98-100%. Where I struggled was trying to shoot faster. Not once did we get instruction like this. Honestly, firearms training was weak. Even though I’m no longer a cop because of a hand injury, I will not hesitate to protect innocent life and so I continue to train. I will be trying these techniques next time on the line.
I'm happy you found this useful. More videos and drills coming soon. With my match schedule on hold due to COVID-19 I've been recording all sorts of stuff :)
Great video. I’ll be viewing it regularly. I’m decent but shooting a bit low but well centered groups. I think I’ve found the method to my madness. Thanks.
I’ve only been seriously training with pistols for a year but by pulling together all the basics that you describe and , as you do yourself , gather tips from a variety of competition proven experts , I’ve been able to become reasonably competitive in matches with guys with many more years of experience. Everything you discuss very succinctly is exactly what you need to do - it makes complete sense in relation to the physics of how the achieve the end result - faster shots on target Often folks at the range will ask - how do I do what you’re doing ? - and I talk them thru it just as you did - and tell not just how to but why Often they’ll improve dramatically in just that range session
Shooting well isn't difficult for most people, when they learn how to do it. The principles are simple to understand, and with some coaching can be executed by most. The key is to create a practice routine that helps one to be able to deliver consistent results subconsciously on demand. That is where time and repetitions come in. That is the sole reason I got into the competitive shooting sports to begin with.
@@SeanGoBoom Yes - It’s a very zen sport once you realize how hard you have to train and focus to improve after plateauing at basic competency And when it all comes together on a stage - it’s so rewarding
Thanks mate for another great video. For whatever it's worth, YT put it up there on my top recommended. First time in months where a gun-related video that's not about 17th C. firearms or something like that happens. If I wanna see how Sootch or Mr Guns'n'Gear are doing, I gotta give the mousewheel about 10 revs... wth? By the way, amazing instruction. Good thing you didn't mention that lazy people (not me, no no), can go to hk parts and get a ridiculous 8oz steel counterweight for their P30L's or VP9's... but I wouldn't do that, nope! I just know a guy who did it. Lazy ass. Thanks again and have an awesome day sir! :-)
Only one think you could insist or specify a bit more And this only for the people that are making there first steps And that is.... that they have to clamp there hands like a vice Left right You describe it very well for me becouse you gave the exact points of the presure @@SeanGoBoom
Great video! Question: On your support hand; you say that the palm-side knuckle of your index finger is contacting the top of the frame during your grip. What about the other parts of your left hand? Are they making contact with the frame?
Oh no... is this what I have been doing wrong this whole time? I'm a semi recent gun owner I picked up my first handgun in 2020. I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if I tried. I would shoot down and left horribly. I still have a terrible trigger pull sometimes and I gotta remind myself of it ocassionally. But the muzzle flip is where I seem to always have issues. I'm 5'10" 290lbs and my 9mm whether it be my M&P Shield, 2.0c or my Glock 19. They all kick/flip more than they should for someone my size. I thought this whole time I was suppose to bear hug the gun with both sides of my palm... I didn't know you were suppose to squeeze with your fingertips instead. I've watched numerous "How to manage recoil" videos and this one is the first to mention that specifically.
@@SeanGoBoom I don't think any of us would be against it. You can't learn too much. As an update to my OP it absolutely did help with managing recoil the next time I went our shooting. Even after around 8k rounds through my EDC guns(G19, M&P Shield and M&P 2.0c) I still feel like I stuck at recoil management and need another 8k through them. lol
Wow! what an amazing video. What great technique for a new shooter. Sean, what are some good drills for new shooters to practice as they perfect your shooting advice?
Very good video, this may be one of the better explanations I have heard on proper grip. I'm working on getting back into shape, any suggestions or sources for at home exercises to build arm & upper body strength to improve recoil management?
Thank you. I appreciate that. Recoil management isn't about strength so much as it is about creating that proper frame to accept the recoil and have it go where you want it to. However, it is silly to think that building upper body strength (and lower) in general won't help with that whole process.
I'm 15 and one hell of a sniper and can move fast and accurate with any rifle you put in my hands I'm safe as hell with every gun (including pistols) I just cant controll pistol recoil for crap and I just need to now how to get back on target cuz I'm getting into IPSIC so I gotta chill with my 22 pistol until I can control my 40
@Sean Burrows - I know you're a professional and all, but Robert Vogel is an accomplished champion and even defeated the legendary Eric Graufell in a 1v1 tournament. Also his pistol is a Glock and yours an Hk so the grips techniques will be a little different from each other. The Hk is so forgiving with grips, the Glock is not and really picky about technique.
Bob is a great guy with an incredible skill set and list of accomplishments, as well as a shooting resume that spans years much longer than mine. I wouldn’t argue about his capabilities whatsoever. I also state in the video that every clearly that everyone’s bodies and choice of pistol is a slightly different situation. So I’m really not sure what your point is.
@@SeanGoBoom - It just sounded like you were making fun of Vogel's grip technique as if it's not the proper way to hold a pistol. Obviously many different pros will each have their own style they like for whatever pistol they use. His way works best for him, your way works best for you. I just didn't see the point in throwing his name in the video.
Go to 2:03 in the video and listen again. I"m literally listing a few people I have pulled from to develop my grip technique that works for me. I actually say those words. I am in no way calling out Bob Vogel. His approach to gripping and using a plastic gun is incredible.
Great video Sean! Terrific grip tips, love it! Two questions: do you recommend doing arms weight lifting to increase strength? And bullet weight: does a lower bullet weight imply lower recoil? Thank you, keep it coming.
I may do a video going into more depth on this, but in short bullet weight is one factor, but isn't necessarily the only one. You can conceivably have different size bullets and different powder charges for the same caliber and have nearly identical felt recoil. In general, a lighter projectile is going to fly faster than a heavy one. I definitely recommend any kind of strength training to increase your performance with firearms. It is just good healthy living in general anyway.

what do mean by, "front sight"? are you using the front sight to push out sonit is in line with the eye/s, and then what about the target, is the target fuzzed out because your looking at the front sight?
Hello thank you for your sharing. I don't understand the words you said about the four left hand fingers. Do we squeeze it tightly with them? My trainer said like this. So i feel confused
Hey - thanks for this. I shoot right, left eye dominant. Based on what you're saying about your body shift (left foot forward to align sights to right eye), would it be safe to assume a right foot forward stance would be appropriate for me thereby aligning sights to left eye?
Whatever side corresponds with your dominant eye, just bring it back in your stance about half of a foot length, and you will have a remarkably easier time aligning the sights and indexing upon presentation. Let me know how it works for you!
Hey Sean. Quick question. I’ve been watching a lot of videos on grip and recoil control. I’ve noticed while dry firing my fore arms get pretty tired. I’ve been dry firing with the grip and pressure like you showed. Is that normal until you get those muscles used to it or am i doing something wrong or trying to hard Fatiguing myself?
Great question. Grip tension is going to be dictated by the ammo you are using and the stiffness of your recoil spring. So for example, on my new Atlas Hyperion competition pistol, I am running a 7 lbs recoil spring because my grip is really robust and my wife is running a 9 lbs recoil spring because hers isn't as much (smaller hands and arms, etc.)... so that effects the return to zero on follow-up shots. You can see that on the video when we started going through the fitting process (link below). Remember, this is recoil MAGEMENT, not recoil CONTROL. The muzzle flip is going to happen, the name of the game is to get the gun to return to zero as quickly and as predictably as possible. With your gun, your ammo, you adjust your body accordingly. With that being said, you are probably going to gain some advantage from buying some cheap grip trainers and strengthening those muscles you aren't used to using. It isn't fatigue, it is exercise! czcams.com/video/4hVikkvZaxI/video.html

I also state in the video that every clearly that everyone’s bodies and choice of pistol is a slightly different situation. So I’m really not sure what your point is.
@@SeanGoBoom - It just sounded like you were making fun of Vogel's grip technique as if it's not the proper way to hold a pistol. Obviously many different pros will each have their own style they like for whatever pistol they use. His way works best for him, your way works best for you. I just didn't see the point in throwing his name in the video.
Go to 2:03 in the video and listen again. I"m literally listing a few people I have pulled from to develop my grip technique that works for me. I actually say those words. I am in no way calling out Bob Vogel. His approach to gripping and using a plastic gun is incredible.
GREAT information. Thank you!!!
I'm glad you found this useful. Should I do more videos like these?
Also, can you explain why you lift/rotate your support forearm up with polymer and not steel pistols?
Awesome breakdown! Got my Sub,
You mentioned different elbow positions for polymer vs steel frame , why is that?
what about correcting flinching I hate when I do that
That just comes with consistent exposure over time.
Great video Sean! Terrific grip tips, love it! Two questions: do you recommend doing arms weight lifting to increase strength? And bullet weight: does a lower bullet weight imply lower recoil? Thank you, keep it coming.
I may do a video going into more depth on this, but in short bullet weight is one factor, but isn't necessarily the only one. You can conceivably have different size bullets and different powder charges for the same caliber and have nearly identical felt recoil. In general, a lighter projectile is going to fly faster than a heavy one. I definitely recommend any kind of strength training to increase your performance with firearms. It is just good healthy living in general anyway.

Many thanks Sean, very clear!
Nice.Excellent video.Thank you.
So nice of you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
what do mean by, "front sight"? are you using the front sight to push out sonit is in line with the eye/s, and then what about the target, is the target fuzzed out because your looking at the front sight?
Hello thank you for your sharing.
I don't understand the words you said about the four left hand fingers. Do we squeeze it tightly with them? My trainer said like this. So i feel confused
Good vid!
Thanks. Glad you found it useful!
3:14 do you apply this (stance fundamental to pistol dots as well? Would be hugely insightful.
Nice 👍
Great video! Thank you! Are you no longer with Hk?
Announcement(s) coming soon.
Hey - thanks for this. I shoot right, left eye dominant. Based on what you're saying about your body shift (left foot forward to align sights to right eye), would it be safe to assume a right foot forward stance would be appropriate for me thereby aligning sights to left eye?
Whatever side corresponds with your dominant eye, just bring it back in your stance about half of a foot length, and you will have a remarkably easier time aligning the sights and indexing upon presentation. Let me know how it works for you!
Great video! Why do you elevate your left elbow with polymer frame weapons?
great!
Sean burrows and HK that's a winning team
Thanks for the kind words.
Thanks!!!!
You are welcome!
All I want to know is who operates your camera. Looks like Hollywood production.
With your big hands like mine it sucks that 1911s and glock 19 s bottom part of hang pinky hanging off
Depends on the model, I suppose.
Wow
Glad you liked it. Hopefully something in my rambling was useful or you.
Ron Avery is de wey. R.I.P.
He was incredible.

I wish I could get the old DVDs somewhere. -.-
Hey Sean. Quick question. I’ve been watching a lot of videos on grip and recoil control. I’ve noticed while dry firing my fore arms get pretty tired. I’ve been dry firing with the grip and pressure like you showed. Is that normal until you get those muscles used to it or am i doing something wrong or trying to hard Fatiguing myself?
Great question. Grip tension is going to be dictated by the ammo you are using and the stiffness of your recoil spring. So for example, on my new Atlas Hyperion competition pistol, I am running a 7 lbs recoil spring because my grip is really robust and my wife is running a 9 lbs recoil spring because hers isn't as much (smaller hands and arms, etc.)... so that effects the return to zero on follow-up shots. You can see that on the video when we started going through the fitting process (link below). Remember, this is recoil MAGEMENT, not recoil CONTROL. The muzzle flip is going to happen, the name of the game is to get the gun to return to zero as quickly and as predictably as possible. With your gun, your ammo, you adjust your body accordingly. With that being said, you are probably going to gain some advantage from buying some cheap grip trainers and strengthening those muscles you aren't used to using. It isn't fatigue, it is exercise! czcams.com/video/4hVikkvZaxI/video.html
Sean Burrows ok awesome, just wanted to make sure i wasn’t over gripping or doing something wrong to trigger those muscles and make them fatigue.
Jb weld gun to a pole cemented into ground then duct tape hand around gun
The duct tape is key in that recipe.
Great info. I have that same jacket btw... Who cares, right?
I like my Vortex hoodie sweatshirt.
Excellent video. Thank you
You are welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
