How Hard Should You Grip A Pistol with Rossen Hristov from Tactical Performance Center

[@-CrampedStyle-]

I'm loving this series! You're addressing all the primary questions that generate so much confusion amongst shooters, especially newer ones like myself.

[@TacticalHyve]

Yes, precisely. Glad you like them!

[@richardbristol452]

I’ve been shooting for years and this is one of the best explanations of grip pressure I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to try this out tomorrow.

[@fastjybe]

Super strong video -- separating the primary two missions of the shooting hand and compromising between them!! That clarity on the trigger finger dexterity is key -- I used to grab like a bum with the lower three fingers of my shooting hand and couldn't get smooth trigger pull!

[@BDAILY365]

I learned most of this at my local gun range supported with very friendly NRA volunteers in NorCal. Those folks were amazing! Looking back, I can't imagine not having this type of knowledge, so I always share with new shooters.

[@ThereIsNoSpoon4]

Been shooting my whole life and still pick up tips and things to try from these videos. Thanks guys

I have been trying to seriously learn the proper techniques of shooting and firearm manipulation since 2021. I only took two 2-hour formal instructions to start on my way to gun safety and basic gun manipulation. The rest of my skills were developed by informational videos like the ones you provided to the public for free. Weekly shooting in the target range, I found out, was essential for my my progress. So was dry-firing at home. I was fortunate to come across your videos early on my development as these really are the best in the internet. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the public. I only wish the classes you provided out in the field are more accessible to me so I can progress faster.

Another great instructional video! I previously watched other videos saying that most of your strength should be focused on your control hand which led me to limp wrist my firing hand leading to many stove tops. Your instructions make so much more sense and it's much more objective where you instruct the shooter to grip as hard as possible and then adjust your strength down while ensuring dexterity of the trigger finger. Easy, understandable instructions. Thank you!

[@shanecabbage2187]

Learning so much from your channel. Now I need to extend my daily training time so I can get better.

[@IamWatchman777-vj6vg]

as a first time shooter, this is gold mine. im like digesting all of these videos and doing it with my gun as I watch lol.

[@humpterdink]

Currently battling this. New pistol owner and having trouble with accuracy. I know that when I really focus and clamp down on the grip with what I perceive to be correct positioning my shots improve. I think I just need to build up my grip and forearm strength. Definitely a little bit of a workout.

[@josephhautzenroeder7512]

I show people drills of only contacting the pistol with as few fingers as possible. Just enough to sight in, fire, and manage recoil. Demonstrates that you don’t need all of the extra fingers wrenching down in the grip as that negatively affects your shot groups.

[@johnnielewis9896]

thanks..you've contribute helpful instructions that benefit this shooter in hitting the tatget ...that said my primary mission is to become accustomed to proper presentation ( grip etc.) but moreover to the live firing experience via a lot of practice.. be well. peace

[@gene2049]

Appreciate the fundamentals of the shooting grip. Never heard it explained. I’m a relatively new shooter. Love the channel.

[@Jedidiah-r1m]

Please do a video on j frame revolver grip for both thumbs forward ingrained mind

[@MINER-pz2cj]

OUTSTANDING VIDEO. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS FINE PRODUCTION.

[@nono559]

I always have a hard time with this because when I do relax the shooting hand grip i always feel like my wrist constantly breaks. I’ve had an instructor give the analogy of making a fist when throwing a punch in how to lock/stiffen wrists.

[@Tapered3414]

Always learning something, thank you!

[@tsflyer61]

Good stuff guys!!!

[@patmaloney1140]

This is an excellent explanation of grip.

[@cocowonderdog]

Great video. Ive discovered, lighter plastic pistols require even more pressure from your control hand. Versus a heavy all metal pistol.

[@82lowe36id]

Great knowledge! Looks like Rossen has switched to the P10 and ditched the P09.

[@onpsxmember]

I'm guessing more options for different classes. If you got lots of striker fired variants in class, it's better to switch to one, same with DA/SA.

[@elias7940]

thank you! the instructions and tips you provide are so helpful! it would be great if you could also do a future episode, regarding the adjustment of grip required when changing from a Glock (or similar striker-fired pistol) to a CZ TS type of one with a more upright grip angle and a thumb safety!

[@ChipSpencer123]

Good way to talk about the subject.

[@dennisl4000]

Love your instructional videos. They present excellent information in an easy to implement manner.

[@thegreenberetlife0191]

Nice work, excellent channel…

[@onpsxmember]

The further the shot and the more time there is, the more important the trigger finger seems to be and a lighter grip is favoured in what I've seen. I think the heavy grip approach is just right to later experiment to ease off while starting with a light grip alleviates sympathetic clenching of the hand/changing pressure before/during/after.

[@TacticalHyve]

Absolutely correct!

[@bjornegan6421]

Top bullseye shooters, who are the most accurate handgun shooters, seem to agree that the harder the grip, the better. They shoot at 25 and 50 yards only and one handed.

[@stroupknives283]

Great video. Thank you.

[@mjohnstonflying]

a great series. Great content.

[@conservativesniperhunter7439]

A great tutorial gentleman. I learned a heap . I’ll be able to practice what you guys just taught us on the next visit to the shooting range 😀👍.

[@cfbodman2]

I found this video very helpful

[@dalewalters357]

Interesting… I’ll experiment what you sad. Thank you

[@PaulVox01]

Love this, thank you!!!

[@epoyarellano6492]

Thanks for the information. I’ll apply this in my daily practice. Btw what eyewear is Myles wearing here? Looks sick!

[@MultiSoldato]

You are the🔝, guys!!!

[@Paladin1873]

"Call in the support weapons." "That's control weapons, sir."

[@bardonut]

This series with Rossen has been great! Is the "dexterity in your trigger finger" video available?

[@TacticalHyve]

Thanks! There should be a link in the video.

[@onpsxmember]

At the 5:06 mark at the upper right corner. Or use this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXzVaqSCnLt0hNk You have to stick with the training to see results @Tactical Hyve Maximize the options to find it. Like in the video description. You improved a lot in that regard.

[@VB6000.]

Great advice.

[@craigt1010]

Man I love this guys accent.

[@mosin9105]

Thanks

[@robdenker5805]

What is the black ring on your index and second finger and what is the wrap on your wrist assisting you with?

[@TacticalPerformanceCenter]

Just calluses - athletic tape

[@effu9375]

The same way tita grips her chinela. 😣

[@chutasan8299]

Hold it like you about to unleash a huge load!

[@lbwlawyer]

I want to grip just hard enough to minimize the effect of Mr. Recoil

[@uomorana71]

where's Mark?

[@iddddaduncan]

What hearing protection do you use?

[@bureaucratbayonet]

Once you shoot enough you dont need it

[@NietzscheanMan]

Get custom fitted ear plugs + ear muffs. Not too expensive and avoid tinnitus, let the internet warriors deal with that.

[@bureaucratbayonet]

Just came here to make sure the answer was still, really really tight.

[@Theqwert202]

Doing Gods work, thank you!

[@John-uo1qf]

I think Rossen nailed it with 68.345%. But NOT the support hand. 😂

[@mjohnstonflying]

Jerry Miculek says a death grip.
