How to Hold A Pistol - Strong Hand Grip Pressure (Dry Fire)

[@rayraman3243]

Myles, you've broken down the mechanics of pistol grips in such a straightforward manner, making the physics behind it easy to grasp. Outstanding instruction. Thank you!

[@BabaYaga-yh3yi]

Practically watching Myles everyday. One of the best instructors on KZbin.

[@davidkimball8857]

Same! Most helpful YT instructor I've found by far!

[@davidkimball8857]

Thanks for this series. As a new shooter, it's been invaluable! I'm learning, practicing, and confirming with live fire, and it's working!

[@Gregster1234]

Always great and helpful info. I’m closing in on 73, have been shooting for decades, I’m still able to learn from y’all! Many thanks.

[@DIYDad1]

Thanks for posting this training series of videos, I always learn something from you guys. Always improving, always practicing. Cheers.

[@jcarey65]

Myles, I have been eating your videos on trigger finger, grip, presenting ad my accuracy has improved greatly! Just thank you.!

[@MultiSoly]

Excellent explanation

[@xdivineHART]

WTH Myles! I was just trying to figure this out properly earlier. Thank you for all the videos you put out. Maraming salamat!

[@kipup413]

thanks. At last a little bit more than just "grab it hard" what I can see from 99% of instructors. Very helpful!

[@thomascozart1095]

Thank you for sharing this information

[@seedless-bud]

thank you so much for the vids on handguns and the basics on what I want to be doing, i am 32 and live in Alaska, been hunting with rifles and used nothing but a scope for most of my time shooting, I have shot other weapons, shot gun, AR's, but a handgun only a few times, decided I wanted a side arm and felt like I had a well-rounded idea and feel of firearms that I would be good to go, But i would be a JOKE if I said that is all I need. I want to see, understand, and refine my pistol handling. you are for sure a great teacher..... i appreciate you and the crew at Tactical Hyve... hitting that sub button and bell on my way out!

[@laughingdog6010]

Thanks, the C Clamp, I’ll try it.

[@ericchappell5680]

Love these videos. The Taurus G3C Is a great double action striker fire pistol for this drill

[@TheeJaneDoe]

Love learning from ya'll 🙂

[@dtmelanson]

Myles, you are an outstanding explainer even via video. Just excellent. Thank you.

[@TacticalHyve]

Glad it was helpful!

With my three fingers pulling into the front strap, my trigger finger adopts the same tension and I shoot left.

[@pavitosloadout]

This material is treasure, especially for fellows overseas with little/no access to such sophisticated trainers.

[@kevf500]

Strong Hand Grip , I am still not sure of the thumb placement of strong hand , over support hand and applying pressure on support hand or not

[@jpay37]

Seeing Myles without shooting glasses is like seeing Superman without his cape.

[@nathanmitchell7961]

Hi myles, does any of these tips change when faced with a bigger full length gun like the CZ p-10F

[@aslanyo]

All I wanna know is… what was plugged into the wall outlet… 🤔😳😝

[@sbur4914]

😂😂😂

[@2K9s]

Probably the lights based on shadows.

[@josephcuison5412]

That would be the camera…

[@mbmann3892]

Same. Maybe the stage lights he using for the video? What ever it is. It has a long cord and apparently needs to be plugged in

[@littlefinkle7757]

A lot of shooters use too much pressure with their pinky finger. When shooting one handed the middle and ring fingers should exert most of the grip pressure to keep the gun flat.

[@markcmann]

I recently had a one-on-one session with an instructor as I have been trying to increase my overall accuracy and he stated that I should have basically zero pressure on the pistol with my strong hand and that all the pressure should come from the support hand. This seemed counterintuitive to me. So my question to Myles is how much pressure on your strong hand (firing hand) do you use for your ‘C’ clamp?

[@Matt-mo4gu]

I would say to watch it again, but my guess would be a 4/10 on pressure. Not too tight, but just enough to have control over that recoil (recoil happens, but your hand helps absorb it).

[@markcmann]

Thanks Matt

[@jerrythompson8337]

Hmmmmm! KATA!

[@Hoffas_beneficiary]

I've said it before...Great instructive informative vids but the unfortunate downside to these youtube tutorials is that it teaches the bad guys as well

[@azsaddledoc]

Don't worry, bad guys don't train. I haven't see a "gangster" at any classes or out at a range improving their skills ever.

[@titosantana269]

Myles, I need your help!

[@trumpwon20204]

Right handed. Push forward with right, pull back with left

[@DefZen343]

thats the old weaver style. no one shoots that way anymore

[@trumpwon20204]

[@ruel1072]

That does not work for some folks.

[@georgekromidas5097]

@@DefZen343You don’t have to use a weaver stance for it. I think Rob Leatham may even do it

[@manoverboardmedia6568]

I carried the Smith Wesson 1911 PD CT kit until I nearly ripped the frame in half, the old scandium split like a cheese stick from being squeezed through 30-40k rds. I checked my hand strength against some gym rats with a dynometer, mine was 220+lbs per hand, none of them could reach more than 190+lbs with their dominant side. Yeah, the pistol wasn't going anywhere, but make sure you don't literally crush your blaster's handle and magazine or tear it apart while you're jacked on adrenaline.

[@5jjt]

That's odd that your handgrip strength is so high, as well as some guys at the gym. Alex Honnold's hand grip is about 90 lbs. He's a professional rock climber.

[@onpsxmember]

Then get grippers 2.5, 3 and 3.5 from CoC and maybe get a certificate if that's something you'd like to achieve.
