So, I'm not the only one who shoots low/left constantly?! Can't wait to get to the range and apply your tips. Thank you for this.

[@bronzemfp26]

As a fellow low left shooter, the support hand info on this video helped SO much. Also trying to break the trigger as a surprise to yourself can help as well in the beginning stages. After you start to get comfortable shooting like that, then start to work on your speed. One day it will click and you will be popping off a-zone shots like a pro! :)

Thank you! Thank you! I am ex-military (AIRBORNE!!), and a lifetime shooter (40+ years). I have always been taught how to hold my pistol, but was never taught WHY. This makes all the difference. As a result I didn't realize what bad habits I developed, and why it made a difference in my shooting. This means it kind of looked like I was doing things correctly, but in reality I had errors in how I was doing it. This means that I also had the classic problem of always shooting a little low and to the left. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! :)

[@semichiganandy2127]

Thank you. I think this is the best grip video I've seen and I doubt that it could be improved on. One thing came to mind that you might want to address in another video, proper grip for small pocket guns. They're kind of a different world. Ironically, a few minutes ago I just watched a video on Lucky Gunner about pocket guns. They pointed out that the pocket guns are huge sellers (so a grip video would help a lot of people). Because of some circumstances that I share with others, I just bought one (S&W Bodyguard .380 - felt much better in my hand than the LCP) so the timing of that video was great. I've been dry firing that thing constantly (I usually put a thousand "air" rounds through a gun before firing a real round) and the first thing I noticed was that the grip I normally use for a Ruger LC9 or a Ruger SR (the other carry guns) had to change, a lot. I doubt that I'm alone. Could you address proper grip these small guns sometime in the future? There is probably a large audience for it.

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

Thanks for watching and the suggestion! Glad you found it helpful

[@IanPkmnYo]

This explanation drew so many parallels to the way I teach grip in Percussion playing, down to the "no gaps," as well as how hand position and grip strength affect control. Great video, helped a lot!

[@michaeldunne1348]

Excellent video! I've been struggling with "low left," especially the farther I am from the target. I purchased a cheap set of Gold's Gym grip strengtheners. They have nice padding on the handles and the spring wasn't too tight. I usually do four sets of three exercises each day (on each hand). One set consists of the usual squeeze x 10; on the 11th squeeze I hold it tight for ten seconds; and then another set of 10 squeezes, but this time, I keep my index finger pointed "at the target" and try not to move it at all as I'm squeezing. For those of you who haven't tried - Neil's lessons in this video are spot on. Try squeezing a grip strengthener without moving your extended index finger. For me, I can definitely tell the difference at the range! Now, about that trigger control...

From a die-hard Weaver stance shooter this is excellent information. When you were showing the difference between the loose and tight grips I could literally see the absorption of the recoil shock in your shoulders rather than in the gun itself. Keeping on target seems to be much easier your way. Man, I have some range work to do. I'm a pretty good shot using Weaver, but after this and a few other of your videos I think I'm going to give this style a deeper look. Thanks for a damned good video

[@geaugafirearmsacademy]

Thank you for watching and commenting. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍

[@CHEECHMUN]

Jerry Miculik talks about why they went to the isosolise stance. One reason is, you can't walk forward and fire in the Weaver stance without bobbing.

[@milvetarmy1482]

I had this exact issue, firing low and to the left as a right handed shooter. It has almost and still can cost me my job as a Law enforcement officer due to our Qualification requirement's where were required to conduct failure drills with two rounds to the chest and one to the head at various distances. This was done 4 times with the minimum 3 hits to the head (head area is a little bigger then a 5x8 card) if at the end of those failure drills and you didn't meet the requirement's you still had to finish the qualification, (50 rds total) knowing you already failed. We were given 2 more attempts to pass and if you didn't you were terminated or placed on leave for 30 days, pending requalification. My point of aim was always high and to the right to compensate for hitting low and to the left. I will definitely try this new grip technique.

[@Skimail123]

Milvet, hope it worked out for you. I am former LEO and now Range officer where Federal and Local LEO's come in. Very common problem with shooting left.

I've only seen a couple of videos about the proper grip, and this video is so good, I've learned quite a bit and I'm in a better position now than I was two weeks ago. Excellent job, well done, and as a lefty, I thank you for also offering some handy tips. I have medium to small size hands, and the M&P 2.0 .40 S&W gun fits great and it's the perfect size, for me. I did handle one at my local gun shop. I've shot guns before, but never owned one. This is why I want to get good with what I get.

Excellent advise. Thank you.

[@jgbecker24]

I didn't realize Tony Romo became a firearms instructor. Good to know!

[@awittypilot8961]

In my experience as an NRA instructor...the reason most shoot low left is because they pull the trigger with the crease of the finger rather than the pad of the finger....hard habit to break Good vid though

[@BoopSnoot]

But that's why they miss at the range, a calm, controlled, safe, predictable environment. In the real world the reason people miss is because they have adrenaline pumping through their veins, their breathing gets fast and shallow, their hands shake, they target fixate completely ignoring the front iron sight, and lose all trigger discipline. So its all fine and dandy to become really accurate at the range, but you can still do that and then have it all be a waste if you're not desensitized to high-stress confrontations.

[@awittypilot8961]

Yeah...agree….but if you don't have any aiming skills it is pure luck if you hit something anyway. I practice but you're 100% right...when it comes to mattering it's going to be a juggle between fear, excitement and skill...and a hell of a lot of luck that you get the chance to even get a shot off. People have no idea...it's never the guy yells at you and says he's going to shoot at you....timing is pretty much everything....luck plays a very big part in it like it or not...without military experience it's nearly impossible to get desensitized….god Bless our brave men and women in the military..past and present

[@BoopSnoot]

@@awittypilot8961 Its one reason I like lasers though for home defense. Usually you're indoors AND its low-light, a double-whammy for high laser effectiveness (and poor iron sight acquisition), and you may not have your glasses to make a proper sight picture or be too pumped on adrenaline to ignore the threat and focus on that front sight, so point shooting with that confirmation green laser is more idiot/stress proof. IMO airsoft is great for practicing high-stress shooting. BTW, I thought of the hands thing because only about 5 weeks ago I had my blinker on patiently waiting quite a while for a car to back out to take the only spot at a pub and some jerk swooped right in who had just entered the lot. I was annoyed but not hostile thinking he maybe didn't even see me, so confronted him and calmly told him he stole the spot from me and that's unacceptable. The guy's hands were almost instantly visibly shaking to the point I had to tell him I'm not mad but would appreciate if he moved.

No shit I heard it with my own ears, he said that the barrel is not in line with the gun, it shoots low and left when the sights are pointed straight. The whole place, customers and employees laughed at the same time. He then took the guy back to the range and went through two full mags with perfect accuracy. I grabbed a pair of ear muffs and went back with them. He then walks the guy through his grip and stance and pointed out like ten things he was doing wrong. There were things I noticed that I still do occasionally. He also flinches when he is anticipating the trigger break. All bad things.

Gotta give him 2 brownies for his audacity lol

Sounds like a smart guy to me. He got some free training that might not otherwise have been forthcoming. Kudos to the employee, too.

It's funny how that happens with NEW Glock shooters that just bought thier first gun. They were told it would be absolutely perfect and practically run itself. Then reality strikes.

[@charlessmith6412]

This is the sort of thing that happens to a lot of people with their first gun, whether or not it's a Glock. But a little training goes a long ways.
