I think through dry firing practice that I’ve discovered an improvement in my pistol accuracy. I think that I have not been applying enough pressure in my grip. I see less movement during dry firing with more grip pressure. Can’t wait to get back to the range to prove my suspicion.

Great tips. I’ll add that when he mentions gripping during firing a big culprit for many is gripping/squeezing with the pinky. People dont apply enough pressure wi5 the pinky until they are also pulling the trigger and when that pinky applies pressure it pulls the muzzle low and left
@douglassalley91172 жыл бұрын
When I apply pressure with nmy pinky as I raise my gun it brings my red dot down from 12 o'clock. Then I don't have to be looking for it. I feel like my pinky decreases the travel of my barrel. I just started thinking about my pinky recently, now you say it causes problems....lol

Maintaing the 90 grade pressure on the trigger is a real challenge as the hands of people are different and distance of travel of the trigger is different and the weight of the trigger is different and the reset travel is different. That's the reason some people shoot better some guns than other ones

I subscribed today even though I've seen videos on this channel featuring Masad Ayoob. But I hadn't seen these type of videos before, which are very valuable, easy to understand, and to the point. The brevity of the videos allow me to understand sufficiently without getting bored or confused with information overload. I am not new to guns but I am not even a beginner in conceal carrying. I purchased my first subcompact, a S&W Shield chambered in .40, about 6 years ago. I modified it by stippling it, replacing the guide rod and spring, porting it, and adding a Crimson Trace light-green laser My plans to conceal carry it never materialized because of my improper understanding of the right to bear arms. I was denied a permit because I'm not part of the elite that is issued one without question. Because I live in one of the worst counties and states of the US, I was conditioned to believe that a permit was necessary to exercise a basic civil right. Hopefully I'll be able to find an instructor like Mike so I can recondition myself to practice and enjoy shooting once again, and learn valuable new skills.

I couldn't read all the comments here but did read many of them. One thing I specifically noticed was that when someone posted a differing or dissenting opinion they were not mobbed by the "true believers" commenting here. They were allowed to state their point and didn't come under unrestrained heavy fire as I have seen happen on other gun channels. It makes this channel all the more needed as a source of consistent quality content. All you guys and gals commenting here give yourselves a pat on the back for being the responsible and well-reasoning human beings you are. It seems you not only believe in our second amendment but our first as well. Thank you for your value-added contributions to making this learning experience pleasant as well as informative.

@M1911jln2 жыл бұрын
I was taught the old NRA dogma of "follow-through" on the trigger -- that is, pinning the trigger to the rear after you have shot. As Mike points out, that slows down follow-up shots. It is one of the hardest habits for me to break. Follow-through might make sense for bullseye shooting, but it's not helpful for action shooting.
@joegarrison23442 жыл бұрын
Same here. So much to learn, right?!
@Paladin18732 жыл бұрын
At very close range on large targets you might be right, but as the distance increases, your accuracy will rapidly fall off. Follow-through helps eliminate flinching and aids in calling the shot. With practice you can speed up this process, but if you abandon it, your accuracy will suffer. Sometimes speed has to be dialed down, depending on the range and difficulty of the shot. I do not train to shoot one single scenario, so I always try to practice the fundamentals when the target is more than a few feet away.
@JT-ht6fk2 жыл бұрын
I only teach pining back for just the first shot for about 5 rounds or so for a new shooter. It helps to reinforce them keeping the gun out there while it recovers back to the sight picture. It carries over into subsequent rounds.

My wife and I are very new to pistol shooting. Today we went to the range after watching this video and saw immediate improvement. Today was only our third time at the range. I have experience only with long guns from 22 years in the military, but virtually no experience with handguns. I was shooting my Bersa Thunder .380. With the exception of one bad shot, the other seven shots were all within 1" or less of each other at about five meters. I know it's not phenomenal, but it's only my third time at the range. I've shot a total of 100 rounds. I look forward to more fantastic tips so that I can learn things right the first time and not have to unlearn bad habits! My wife was shooting a Ruger LCP II .22 and she noticed improvement in her shooting as well! It's always fun to see marked improvements in activities after learning new tips and tricks! Thanks so much!!
@geoffreyarnold72923 ай бұрын
At 74 with a compromised right wrist, I gave my wonderful Bersa Thunder 380 to my son and switched to 22. I found that my Ruger LCP II 22 was much improved by adding the Tandemkross Wingman + 4 magazine extension due to better grip control. However I get better groups with my Bersa Thunder 22 because my LCP has a 7.8 lb trigger pull. My favorite is the $200 Keltec P17 which shoots great, isn't as ammo picky as the Bersa, and has about a 3 lb trigger pull wt. Love the P17!

Excellent tips. Waiting too long to shoot is a great tip too. The longer you grip and hold the gun etc. the more you’ll wear your muscles/nervous system and you’ll “jitter” a bit. It’s normal. Shooting quicker is best practice anyway, you’re not a sniper with a pistol. Slow shooting is more of a rifle thing.

I have a Beretta 92a1 when I shoot do I need to completely let the trigger off all the way. I used a Target and when I shoot I don't let the trigger all the way back to reset the trigger. I ease off the trigger enough for it to reset, not back to the full pull and I put a 3inch grouping at 25 yards away and that's rapid fire. The Barretta has a buffer built in the gun and it's the best shooting gun I've ever shot. Oh it's a 9mm it hardly has any kickback in it at all thanks to the buffer. I find it easier to use both hands and this also helps with control. I enjoyed your presentation.
