Manage Recoil and Muzzle Rise with Better Wrist Tension (Dry Fire)

[@humpterdink]

New shooter here- was having failure to eject issues with my newly obtained pistol and thought for a sec that it was the firearm. After some KZbin research, I found that those issues could be created by limp wristing the gun. Found one video that mentioned applying pressure to the pistol grip like you would wringing out a wet towel. Total game changer. Now I have had several range outings with zero issues. Great topic sir!!

I’m glad you mention push-pull. It’s almost like instructors are afraid to mention it today. Just because it was a key in Weaver doesn’t mean it’s not a necessary technique today.

He’s the best teacher period

Love the pistol push up idea! As a former personal trainer, that really clicked with me! A good place to do that might be on the stairs with a pillow to cushion the muzzle. Lower stairs are harder, higher stairs are easier, so it's very easy to find a good height that works for any shooter!

Totally getting a lot out of this series. Thank you!

“Setting” the wrist is one phrasing that always made sense to me. I rotate to a certain point and don’t allow it to “unset” during the trigger press OR during Follow Through.

What a great series. Thank you.

[@dalewalters357]

Hyper focus is key! Before, during and after! Great info! Good job!

[@dleada5]

Great info. I appreciate it. I’ll have to add this to my practice sessions for sure!

[@rom14141]

The push up is a fantastic way to illustrate the point. That's a similar principle I was taught to shoot a shotgun and rifle, I was blading away so much it was rolling my skin over and bruising the crap out of me. Instructor had me shoulder the gun and push against a wall with the barrel, then asked what would happen if the wall suddenly disappeared? If I fell forward that's no good, I should be steady whether the wall was there or not. Istarted squaring up more and gained an understanding of balance and mobility. An aggressive fighting stance, imagine that! Hahaha.

Fantastic reinforcement of an often forgotten layer of “grip“.

[@krishall3187]

Great ideas here!

[@Osprey1994]

I just enjoy listening to the way other teachers approach a subject, and maybe I learn something new.

[@thesaltking7355]

Here for all the knowledge

[@darrellhall8713]

Wonderful information about wrist tension. Great, how you related wrist tension and doing push-ups. I've never heard anyone tell it that way, but it got my attention for sure.

[@joshroten3997]

Good stuff. Some shooters hyper-focus on just their grip and don’t consider the importance of locking your wrists when it comes to recoil management and speed and accuracy of follow-up shots. 👍

[@r-shot8431]

This serious has helped me tremendously, thanks!

[@gboroasis]

Excellent teachings

[@danielg9810]

Great info for newbies like me!

[@my3sons386]

Good instruction thx 🙏🏼

[@blankblank1813]

Thanks for the great info. Is there an easy way to find the first one of the series?

[@effu9375]

I've managed wrist tension since I was 14😉🇵🇭🇺🇲🤙🏽😁

[@mitanshusaini528]

10 💀

[@JIP411]

When I was 1 year old

[@meme-ss6ho]

I…… BELIEVE…… their referring to……… wrist tension when firing a weapon…….. NOT PULLING ON ONE…….!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jordanfrancisco27]

I knew it had to be here. That’s what’s up. Pinoy pride. ✊💯🤌

[@partydog1784]

Great for you but what about the ones of us that didn't learn to shoot at 14 and are now trying to learn everything that they can 🤔.

[@gob7116]

Hmm, pistol push-up is something new though kinda see that it could be practically difficult. Not in the wrist sense but more on the gun would want to do press checks if the slide protrudes from the barrel. If the barrel is flush (and assuming that the muzzle is perfectly flat which would be hard to do as itll naturally be at an angle during full extension) or protrudes, I also see a possible issue on putting too much weight with a hard surface on one portion of the barrel. It may have crowning issues among other things.

[@njcranes]

Than the for the post

[@enieves6411]

Kind of off topic but curious, how your trigger finger surgery affected your trainning?

[@crlkrlf4718]

Being a new shooter my wrists are a week point I have noticed.

[@StrollaLawDefense]

I am almost 50, you would think with the lifetime of wrist tension training I’ve conducted, I should have almost perfect recoil control. Going to train some more, you know what they say about practice. 😉

[@mitanshusaini528]

Include pdf in discription covering important points in the video

[@GuacIsExtra99]

That push-up on the gun analogy really clicked

[@Burna43]

It might sound simple but this is the first time I hear of push pull for firing a pistol.

[@rmenard1986]

Leave the trigger to the rear when training your grip

[@taemeister9302]

After doing 1 pushup with my pistol, i realized how weak my wrists are 😞

[@patrickgjorven7832]

Definitely don't do those pistol push-ups with a cheap pistol!
