This man has forgotten more than most shooters will ever learn. Enjoy listening to him share the wealth of knowledge. Thanks.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

Yes! 💯. In 2004, Live Oak FL I wanted to take Ayoobs LFI 1 course but was doing a FEMA 🌀 contract job in Pensacola. Ayoob pushed DA only revolvers, DA-DA only hammer fired pistols. His printed gun articles are gold!

[@darrenhooper9050]

True that, great information

[@PPISAFETY]

The thing I like best about learning from Mas Ayoob is that rather than just saying "do this", he explains why you might want to use the technique, but then goes on to explain why it may not be best for everyone. He has an excellent presentation on this channel regarding thumb positions in handgun firing which is the best I've ever seen.

[@adamrodriguez1194]

Well I'm the opposite, but I do enjoy his lessons.

[@mongo0352]

Agree Tom, His video on different thumb positions is great. I have been shooting with the same thumb down grip for over 35 years. It served me well in countless IPSC and USPSA matches. What chaffs my hide is when some young blood comes to the range and wants to correct my stance and grip, not knowing how many ribbons and trophies I have. If Col. Cooper and Mr. Awerbuck didn't have a problem with my grip I won't be changing it now for some kid.

Two parallels meeting for just a brief moment... A sort of bitter sweet coincidence

[@richardsnyder3297]

I am an 80 year old shooter and have been blessed to have been shooting for over 70 years. (Thanks Dad.). I now fight the dual issues of arthritis and neuropathy which make my hands tire quickly when shooting. I have found that my first shots in a session are typically right where I want them. But, after about 5 rounds my hands begin to tire and things deteriorate quickly with shots drifting low and left. I actually discovered this hold by experimentation over a couple of years as my hand issues began to worsen. Even though my hands still tire and I have to stop after 10 rounds or so to let my hands recover, now, with the wedge hold, I can keep all ten shots where I want them to be (with the occasional flyer which always sneaks in). I have discussed this with younger shooters and they simply do not get it, since they have not experienced the issues I have. Now, after seeing this video numerous times to reinforce what I am doing, I am a firm believer. My primary handgun for the range can be one of several Beretta 92s, a Sig p226 or CZ75 SP01 and this technique works well for all. When I switch to a 1911, I have to modify the grip slightly. Another excellent video from a master teacher. As an aside, I was a college dean in my working years and had to evaluate many teachers. I would give Massad my highest recommendation for tenure.

[@dmo848]

Try the 380security you might like it allot

[@EEDad401]

I've been shooting almost my entire life. This is the first time I've really understood how special the wedge grip can be controlling lateral movement. All my instructors usually just say, "pull that trigger straight back." Nobody ever says, "Let's change grip and get better control of the trigger guard." Mr Ayoob, you are amazing!

[@kekelaward]

Although it's expensive, I think a class with Mas would be worth hundreds, if not thousands, more than he charges.

right they don't express the why, or try this way. Massad Ayoob understands that there is no single shoe that fits everyone. Respect that man he is a real Teacher and learns every day.

[@pillcosby3949]

That’s because trigger control is more important for accuracy, grip helps more with accuracy on quick follow up shots

[@shawndashno6022]

This is the probably the best instructional video on handgun grip that I've seen. Presentation was calm and collected, not some internet commando trying to jam one particular style down the viewer's throat. He also takes into account the different factors that may affect a shooter's ability to utilize a particular grip on a particular gun (i.e. hand size, frame size, length of the trigger guard), which most videos of this kind completely ignore. Very well done.

I stopped shooting low and left! I feel much more confident as a concealed carry person now that I can shoot accurately. Thank you again, sir.

Judging someone on having a tattoo or the way they dress is actually pretty shallow man. a person should be judged on the content of their character and their actions not their sense of style or if they happen to like tattoos. They either have good solid information or they don’t, it is that simple.

I changed to this grip because I had trouble shooting 45 ACP accurately through a 1911 (even though I could do relatively well with 9mm). I am pleased to say that it has helped me considerably. I’m still no expert marksman, but at least now I’m confident I could put shots on target in the unlikely event of a home-defense situation. Thanks Mr. Ayoob!

[@JerryEricsson]

Back in 1973 when I started on the Police Department, our local Highway Patrolman (one hell of a nice guy) was the State Police Shooting Champ. He went on to go to work for Smith and Wesson. He taught me basic handgun when I was issued my first handgun, a Smith and Wesson Modal 19 4". This was the hold he showed me, and the hold I have used ever since. In our Department the scores were posted after every qualifications. Mine was always in the top 3, often the top of the list, I believe it was all because of his wonderful, patient instruction. Prior to that all I had been shooting was the M1911A1 while in the Army and I was fairly good with the old war horse but much of the instruction from Army instructors still taught the one hand hold, and the point from the hip stuff that nobody much hit anything using. After I purchased my first M1911A1 and began qualifying with her, I quickly went to the two hand hold with the finger on the guard because it was comfortable and when I switched to the Sig 220 I kept that hold and still qualified at the top of our list. I guess Mr. Bill Gates really knew how to teach.

You have, without a doubt, made me a better shooter.

[@brionlincoln2534]

Mass has been teaching this technique for decades because it works. It’s worked for me since 2003 when I learned it at LFI!👍🏻

[@TheSlickmelon]

Two things have contributed to major improvement in my shot placement accuracy, so well in fact, I can place 100yd shots consistently on a paper plate. The first was to tighten my two hand grip and slightly relax my arm muscles. The second was to incorporate the wedge with my index finger. I'm at 500+ rounds using these adjustments and enjoy the comfortable accuracy improvement that keeps me trying faster/further shots. Thanks for keeping the legacy of accurate shooting alive.

It is the 1st time I've ever heard of something like that and has functioned extremely well for me on most of my firearms the 1911 being the exception. I love how old thought is now new thought and the trainers from back in the day are re gifting this knowledge to the trainers of to day thanks again for the additional information I will give it a shot

Great technique --during COVID unfortunately less range time due to ammo restraints and try to fire about 1,000 laser rounds at multiple targets weekly. Some of my guns I natural did this technique based on excellent comments Massad articulated so well! Other guns, not so much.... stayed with typical “rap around,” which was drilled into me by various LEOs I’ve worked for. I’ve also learned throughout the decades of Government training..... when in Rome you better do as other Romans.... LEOs typically were “my way or the highway,:” once you finish training - we always picked the right tool for the tool box and really like they way Mr. Ayoob makes that clear right up front. Excellent Master of his Art👍🤠🇺🇸

[@BryanTorok]

What I really like is Mas suggesting a technique to try while allowing that it may not work for everyone, for every hand, or with every gun. In 38 years, the only time I failed to qualify on the first test was the year I tried following all of the things the range instructor insisted I do to correct my grip and technique. They then explained the procedures and consequences if I failed the re-test. I told them I was confident I could pass the re-test and I did shooting 49 out of 50. They asked how I could be so confident and what I did differently. I told them I disregarded all the things they were telling me to do and went back to doing it my way. Now, to be honest, if I feel rushed, I have a tendency to occasionally throw a round low and left. I'm looking forward to trying Mas's technique to see if it helps with that. But, with the scarcity and price of ammo, I don't expect to be going to the range and shooting up a hundred rounds of ammo for fun.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Outstanding presentation. Not only on pistol gripping but also on how to instruct a class to all different skill levels. 😃👍

[@oldrocker1970]

This dude is the best there is. I remember as a kid what a legend he was but I was too immature to really listen and learn. Also, there was no KZbin back then! We had these crazy things called gun magazines, but made of paper that you didn't put rounds in (I know it sounds crazy, no worries). After 35 years of shooting handguns I still find gems like this. The way Mas Ayoob explains things is so succinct. If you listen closely every single angle is covered, and if you follow through with the advice as it is presented you will see that this is decades of experience at the top tier of the art speaking.

[@lovetopew9054]

I have been utilizing this technique since first watching this video and it has improved my accuracy and consistency guide a bit. I have found that an added benefit at least for me has been consistently finding the red dot on an optic without having to search for it the dot always appears right in the middle of the window upon drawing ant pushing out.

When you have someone who teaches like he does the subject does not matter because you will learn more, become better, and understand faster as well on a deeper level.

Hearing this brings back great memories!!

Last week I shot a pistol at the range with a light mounted to a pic rail under the barrel. My shooting was terrible. I could not grip the gun because the light was blocking the front face of the trigger guard. My old grip has become a little obsolete due to gun accessory trends. I need to learn this grip technique so that differences in handgun setup affect my accuracy much less. Thanks Mas, you’re a legend!

I remember you talking about shooting in a match situation that you were unprepared to shoot in but went on to realize that maybe you were not outgunned at all because your python was tuned by Reeves Jungkind. His son Donald is not only my best friend, but he will be celebrating his eightieth birthday in April. I will be staying at the ranch (Circle RJ) he took over when his father passed and Reeves is looking down from heaven, so very proud of his son. Reeves got me started in competitive bullseye shooting when I bought a Clark custom heavy slide from him. I will always remember Don telling me that when his father called Jim Clark Sr. for a pistol, he would tell him that he wanted one of the "Good Ones".

[@onthefive5615]

I can not thank you enough! The wedge solves my long-time frustration with gripping a gun. My problem is residual weakness in my shoulder, arm and wrist due to a stroke 15+ years ago. I dont even care to go to the range anymore. But the moment I picked up my Sig and held it with the wedge as you demonstrated, I KNEW it was the answer to the question I have dared not ask: can I ever hold my gun tightly enough to shoot straight again? Well, finally, the answer is yes! Thank you, thank you!

Thank you Mr. Ayoob. Your video has been extremely helpful envisioning a better grip. I notice the wedge hand using your 1911 has your thumb up away from the slide. I've been using that thumb to squeeze way too hard on the grip. I will be aware of it moving forward. Thanks again.

[@greencertifiedweb]

My only handgun for years has been the Colt Combat Commander (9mm 1911). I never miss with that. I recently converted to the Taurus G2C and I just don't have the control I have with the Colt. Just trying out this hold on the Taurus leads me to believe, it's the answer to my problem. I have pretty big hands. I've had to cup the Taurus. With this, I feel more in control. The fact I just let my index finger go where it goes but I still have control is a revelation... I can't wait to try this at the range.
