I don’t think you guys realize the potential of this channel just by how easy you are to watch. The talent speaks for itself. Keep the guides coming. How to find red dot faster?
When teaching my 4'-10" tall , 100-pound daughter to shoot, we had a guy beside us ,he was just a beast. Like 6'-6" , 285 pounds of muscle. He took the time with me to help explain how his size could compensate for recoil versus my daughter's size frame. Helped me put emphasis on her form having to be better than his. Was a great teaching moment. My daughter now loves gun ranges as most people are super friendly and helpful.
5’9 163. You learn quick how to stand without being told. . But his performance and on point teaching methods has me convinced to ignore a lot of others and follow this guy.
I was in the German SOF and 5 minutes with a US sergeant, who made it into the President's 100 twice, improved my long gun game tremendously. The high left hand is a game changer.
I'm a bigger guy (215lbs) & even with 9mm or .22 I shoot better in that stance. You have better balance that way both front/back & side to side & can manage recoil better that way. It's how I've trained my wife to shoot & several other people & its the way I've learned as well.
It all depends on what the goal is. If an instructor has a background more geared towards precision than recoil control it can have a point. What will give you good recoil control can be a detriment at long distance. Goals should be set before training or what the class is about. Everything new you try needs about two weeks of range visits to give it a chance and experiment with.
Duuuude!! I usually notice a small flick in my red dot's position during dry fire practice. I tried a dry fire practice with the new grip just now. That thing DOES NOT MOVE!! I had no idea it was even possible to get a trigger pull like that! Thank you!!
Now try one handed. Just make sure that the grip doesn't always have to fix other failure sources. It doesn't have to be extreme grip pressure, just consistent before, during and after shots. Also check what the grip does at different distances.
Its so odd to me how many people shoot and carry but still dont know how to shoot a pistol. Videos like this will always be relevant. I notice what actually makes a good shooter has more to do with understanding biomechanics than it does with experience. If you can teach someone good technique and how to know whats right for them, they instantly improve their shooting pretty much immediately.
@@codyschnuriger6743Is this really a bot? This is a really insightful comment. (Or are YOU the bot, helping drive engagement on this video with crazy takes? 😐)
I like your stance. I heard a story of an instructor put a hundred dollar bill on a target then told the class that on “go” the first one to get to the bill got to keep it. He said ready, then paused and said, “that right there is your shooting stance”. Then he grabbed the bill and went on with the class.
What’s crazy is I naturally shot like you do with the high left hand and I was told I was wrong. Changed it and I shoot worse now 😂 Switched back to my normal grip and the groups on follow up shots are A LOT tighter.
I was taught to keep both my arms outstretched, and elbows rolled in slightly to lock the gun forward. It always felt a bit unnatural, and didn't feel like it worked all that well. I started trying out slightly bent elbows, or one elbow locked and the other bent, and I've found it works a lot better. The thing about the general technique with anything is that it won't work for EVERYONE; just most people. Constantly have to figure out what works best for you.
That's my grip lol glad I'm doing it right I guess. Never had an issue with recoil. I did a lot of airsoft and was surprised how much transferred over.
I'm very surprised that putting pressure on the slide like that doesn't interfere with it going into battery. I just used the thumb ledge on my MR920 and thought that was pretty good, until I saw how much he controls it
@MultiPurposeReviewer both arms outstretched is a garbage old-school method, as well as cupping the bottom of the grip with the off hand. You need triangulation to manage recoil & give you the most support (i.e. dominant arm all the way out straight, off arm/hand elbow slightly bent & rolled down to create a 90* triangle with the body).
Woman here, new to CC world, with very little upper body strength & tired of fighting recoil. Thank you for this video. Glad I watched to the end!!! Never heard about compensated or knew about the flashlight
One of the things that I love about training and watching people that train is that we ALWAYS learn simething new. Stay humble and take what you like from other people, try it yourself and use it to improve your skills. Love this channel so far.
Three pointers in less than 5 minutes. Easily digestible and presented very well. That’s how you teach someone on the range…incremental adjustments without overloading them. Great job! The high support hand concept wasn’t taught when I began shooting 20 years ago…I can say that without a doubt that my recoil management and shot times improved as I transitioned to a higher support hand grip. Keep up the great content.
Regarding high support hand, when you get your thumb up that high on the slide, how does the slide flying back not mess up your thumb? No pinch or friction? I haven't had the chance to try yet - just wondering.
This is a perfect description of how a light can be used to manage recoil. I carry with one now mostly because I love being able to grip it and gain that forward leverage.
Recoil management or not, that fighting stance also lends to a more agile stance in general. Something to start/stop running from, dive behind cover or concealment etc. Even us guys who are 200 plus pounders should train how we’d fight. Never know, that gun may save innocent lives some day.
I’m glad you brought up stance according to weight and handsize . I’m 6’5” 250 and 9mm recoil is almost nonexistent compared to some of my smaller friends and the techniques they have to use .
I really dig this stuff, man. I have been watching your shorts for the longest time because of your speed and accuracy, and now to see the little differences in how you shoot is super handy. I got my SD3G coming in from a black Friday sale, so I'm ready to see what my split times do. You put out some good info out. Keep it up!!
As someone getting their first pistol this summer this video was very informal. Short video yet very straight to the point. The high grip you showed was very unique yet very powerful. You just earned a new subscriber.
Thank you, the grip helped improve my recoil control by 100%. I use to shoot in a diagonal (45°) manner before cause that worked for me better than vertical.
I really like this video. You have more of a... I guess... natural and calm way of explaining things without over complicating it. I've always had a hard time explaining to people how to do it without physically showing them. I will be sending all my newbie friends this video.
When i started watching your IG posts i noticed how high you grip and I've been doing it with great results. I coach my friends to do the same as this video exactly even down to the stance analogy.
Man this is great. Although I’m one of the bigger fellas, I grabbed my XR920 during this video to try the higher grip. One issue I found is that as I grip higher I hinder the slide lock & also figuring out where the hell my big hands land on my support hand. Anyway, your content is legit & you’re a freakin beast
I just took my ccw qualifications this oast saturday ,and let me tell you because of you videos on how to manage recoil and proper stance i pass big time thanks a million dudes
I love coming online and seeing how other people solve the same problems. I'm also a smaller guy, and organically came to a similar conclusion decades ago, mainly due to being a Metal Gear Solid fanboy. One of my first handguns was the Mk23, which has a very high bore axis. First learning to shoot it, I could barely control it. Got higher and higher on the grip until I was in basically the same grip you use. It naturally transferred over to other handguns, and no one ever corrected me, despite over 20 years of combat shooting. I guess because it produced results. 100 yard shot, consistently ringing steel, with a G17 and irons? I don't think any of my instructors or peers cared about what my grip looked like lol. It's very interesting to see how you got to the same solution, despite different stimuli.
Wow! You are a legend! Thank you. With the snappy hellcat pro my shots have been all over the target. 🎯 i was so frustrated and have been training daily. I watched several videos on how to grip the gun, how to aim, etc nothing worked and groupings got worst. After watching this video and applying your technique I’m stacking the shots on top one another with the snappy hellcat pro. Thank you so much 😊 🙏🏼
Solid recommendations and I agree with using your off hand in a clamping motion when gripping your pistol. I never had solid muzzle flip control until I modified my gripping method using the clamping motion and began running this in all of my handgun drills and now it’s muscle memory and I have very little, if any muzzle flip while firing. Good video showing this technique.
I love this channel. I wish you would really dig in and start making a lot of content. I always watch ur shorts. Dude is absolutely hands down one of the best shooters I’ve seen.
I’m eager to try this new grip at the range. Its such a small adjustment but seems to work way better. It seems to provide more of a vice grip feel if that makes sense.
I love your videos bro I got a Glock 40. Gen 4 I have you Heavy tension Is guide rod in it to keep the flip down. But this video shown me how to hold it better. The flip is amazing now barely any recorder thank you keep up the good work😊😊
I definitely learned I need my left foot forward to help give me a stable shooting position. I need to lean more into the pistol as it does push me back I’ve been noticing. I also wanna work on my grip, but before the grip (mainly your high grip idea to manage recoil better) I need to keep practicing not flinching/pulling the trigger with a consistent grip and pull with my trigger finger and that’s been taking a huge step forward. I’m able to hit what I want pretty consistently and at further distances than I’ve been shooting before.
Surprisingly, I discovered his channel not so long ago, hidden between hundreds of others, and at the moment it is probably one of the best in terms of efficiency and quality of knowledge presentation. Very clear and lucid! Nothing superfluous, no less, no more. Just right on target.
Great info, I tried the high left hand and it was a game changer! Only thing was after 200 rounds my left palm got abrasions from the slide or the slide lock.
I always thought we couldn’t touch the slide as it shot or it’d cause a malfunction but I see a few people riding it to mitigate recoil and it doesn’t mess with anything so I’m gonna try it when I get to the range.
And like the big dude said also helps to have a dope gun like whatever he was shooting. Dope for me is a factory gun with smooth trigger. For me Smoother trigger equals “recoil doesn’t exist”. Like you said also weapon lights. They help in having the weapon shoot “flat”. Good video 🔥
I don’t think you guys realize the potential of this channel just by how easy you are to watch. The talent speaks for itself. Keep the guides coming. How to find red dot faster?
Man crushin 😂
How to find the red dot? Consistency. Develop a system and train. Hours of dry fire draws.
I always just look for the front sight post first.
Nobody likes a suck up
@@jmax.6587he should not be looking for the front dot at all when “finding” the red dot

Is it possible to shoot that fast with a more sub-compact pistol, using this technique?
Thanks for the input on stance. All my trainers tried “correcting” my posture even though I shoot far better in the “fighting stance”.
Same experience. Drives me up the wall when the instructor is making people worse.

Good comment but it’s a copy paste comment or a bot.
I’ve seen the same comment on other shooting videos.
Define "don't know how to shoot a pistol". That's pretty open ended.

“Do that… but grab a pistol”😂😂😂
As a little dude myself, I can confirm the fighting stance does help.
I always use the fight stance because it's your natural defensive position. Obviously it makes you much more sturdy from forward/backwards pressure.
Yeah - I suggest an offset stance to new shooters with a touch of bend in the front knee.
Recoil management or not, that fighting stance also lends to a more agile stance in general. Something to start/stop running from, dive behind cover or concealment etc. Even us guys who are 200 plus pounders should train how we’d fight. Never know, that gun may save innocent lives some day.
How little are you? Lol
Just took my CCW in NJ & I watched this video at 2am and by 10am I passed my course first try !!!! Really appreciate it
Thank you for the excellent tutorial without the theatrics. Right to the point, excellent camera view, step by step instructions, no digression
I’m glad you brought up stance according to weight and handsize . I’m 6’5” 250 and 9mm recoil is almost nonexistent compared to some of my smaller friends and the techniques they have to use .
Just found this channel and as an IPSC shooter, this was really eye-opening. Thank you so much for sharing your insights! Much appreciated!
Since your last grip video, I've tried your ways, and it helps immensely. Thanks.
