Hey what's up I heard about that guy that was sponsored by uscca that needed your help and got his coverage dropped just wanted to let you know that you're a joke.... just like 9 mm and any Bozo that carries it for self-defense.....45 ,10mm or bigger.... and since you can't comment on commercials I just come here directly.

After watching this video, I grabbed my G27 Gen3, S&W Shield 40 and Springfield XD Mod-2 Compact in 40 S&W and off to the range I went. What a difference it made by following his instructions on the grip! I was close to his description but when I nestled my left hand into that 'gap' area (2:14) while holding it with my right hand, I put 70+ rounds into the 9, 10 rings plus the red at 10 yards. The only difference I did was to wrap my left-hand index finger across the front of trigger guard, not under it as he shows here. I used various hand loads with different bullets and powders, the results were the same. Highly recommend gripping your gun as described in this video.

[@jimpalmer4061]

For small guns like Micro 9s, can also move forward a bit and use your left pointer finger (for rightys) to overlap the front trigger guard. It can help hold that muzzle steady when working with auch smaller gun footprint.

[@christophergardiner5351]

Yep. That's what I do with my shield.

[@jimpalmer4061]

@@christophergardiner5351 I do it with my 43x and hellcat but still go with the regular wrap around grip with my duty size guns. I think the idea is that there is no "best" way. Happy shooting..

[@jimpalmer4061]

@@christophergardiner5351 oh and something else that works great - get some skateboard tape for the front of the guard. Totally helps th grip for that front finger...

[@christophergardiner5351]

@jimpalmer4061 yeah, you are right. Wasn't saying there was a "best way." Just mentioning that I put my non shooting index finger on the guard.

[@srchnfrcj]

To each their own but I dont recommend teaching that to others. Novice shooters tend to anticipate recoil and flinch. If they have their finger pressed on the guard and flinch, its gonna throw the shots off. Couple that with other common errors like slapping the trigger, etc...the groups aren't gonna be consistent. I place my support finger under the trigger guard. I dont wrap around or press against it. That hold works well, even on subcompacts like my Gen 4 Glock 30 .45 auto

[@rodvan-zeller6360]

Excellent video, at 3:24 perfect symmetry between left thumb and right index.

[@jp2578]

Basic yet very helpful information!

[@mrartyp2765]

Thanks for explaining the grip.

[@andersgrassman6583]

I will keep my right thumb on top of my left thumb (right hand shooter), Among things, it keeps my left thumb from interfering with the slide. Ultimately, you have to fire acouple of hundreds of rounds, to find out and feel confident in (whatever) grip you figure out and learn. (There is other stuff going on, like curvature of right hand and grip from right hand little finger etc. These things actually also matter for occasional shooters.)

[@HowtowithPaulHenderson]

I was following along with you on this with my Glock 19 (unloaded of course) I've always had a good grip on the gun I can feel a slight difference I think my shots will be in a tighter group on the target. I'm looking forward on trying this at my next visit to the range.

[@USCCAOfficial]

That's awesome to hear (and happy to hear it was unloaded). Let us know how your groups change after you get the chance to try this at the range!

TY USCCA

[@USCCAOfficial]

Thank YOU for. the support! Stay safe!

[@GamingVel0city]

i dont know why but when i do the support hand and get it nice into the other part of the handle my thumb does not come close to reaching forward as far as everyone else. i can move it forward some but then i have to take it off the grip so much it does not feel worth it. i have big hands so im not sure what im doing wrong

[@halweiss8671]

I am in a minority with modern semi auto shooters, but I think I have short thumbs or something, because the thumbs forward grip is beyond uncomfortable and is much less effective for me. It also feels completely unnatural to me. I don’t put my thumbs forward when I use a hammer, an axe, broom, baseball bat, knife, or anything else that I grip. It also may have to do with first learning to shoot a revolver and staying away from muzzle blast shooting out the front of the cylinder. Then again, I think I’d rather lose a little accuracy and not have to readjust my grip if a revolver is the only gun available to me.

[@RetroMMA]

Watch out for "slide bite" with that thumb...

[@Jamarraquad]

This has never happened to me but I always fear it

[@fleatactical7390]

First thing I thought. "The mistake shooters only make once."

[@skeeterskoville9226]

Happened to me when I was 17. Hurt like a mofo.

[@FarikoPacer]

Ever heard of a back strap ?

[@srchnfrcj]

His understanding of the hand mechanics of the grip are good, but you can see the way his arms were positioned that he's flaring out his elbows. Doing so directs recoil into the shoulders which will throw you off and cause a delay in target reacquisition as opposed to a more straight-armed approach that will direct the recoil down your arms and into your spine and out of the body toward the ground.

[@markgoing6971]

I sure would like to see some videos like this using a revolver. No beaver tail. Cylinder side flash. Different grip profile. Not everyone uses a semi-auto, or shoots 1911 or a Glock. Grip too high gets hammer pinch. Control hand index finger too far forward, you might lose it. Snubbies are common.

[@duaneb193]

I just wish I could join the USCCA - the joys of living in a state that has a twit of an AG. One of what - 3? Sigh.

[@farlesbarkley1022]

Yup, three. And CA is not one of them lol

[@noneshere]

For beginners

[@YoMumzinnit]

I usually only use my finger tips with my right hand to give the bottom support, while I hold the back firmly with my left hand. This is how I eat xtra large slices of pizza

[@permanentlygrounded7770]

your supposed to build these techniques into muscle memory so you just do it automatically in a crisis

[@allergictobrokeCEO]

1. That’s why you go to a range and implement. That creates “muscle memory”. 2. Crises cannot exist if you’re always ready for adversity and prioritization of preparation z
