Proper Support Hand Pistol Grip (Part 1)

Can you explain the shooting corrections chart for handguns? I’ve seen it a couple times but you seem to break things down a little more than others generally do so I think it would definitely be helpful.

very useful advice

I’m really happy that you have a dry fire magazine. I went with your promotion and try to get one but guess what they don’t sell them for Canik TP, 9 elite or a new MC their Glock people so remember that when you give them a shout out next time Because I really want to dry fire magazine for my Canik
Cause I really appreciate your training and knowledge, but I can’t even get a dry fire magazine😢😢

Hi Myles. Another great video. I many times carry a revolver in the woods and sometimes a featherweight in the pocket. I was taught to interlock my thumbs behind the hammer to avoid placement near the barrel/cylinder gap. How about working in a revolver refresher?

I have long skinny monkey hands and fingers. Both thumbs pointing straight up otherwise they stick out in front of the muzzle with anything 3.5" barrel or shorter.

Thank you for all of info being provided

Thorough and straight to the point as always. Appreciate y'all taken the time and making these easy access vids.

I got a question. Should the support hand have more or less pressure depending on the caliber of the gun, or the charge of the round?

Hey Tactical hyve, can you make a video about a full ghillie suit build? I know you’ve already made a video about the boonie hat, but a full ghillie build guide would be awesome.

Often times my support hands get sweaty because I am gripping so tightly and that's what causes my grip to break apart... Any recommendations? Chalk? Liquid chalk?

Where is he? I’ll give him some lessons

For the al gore rhythm

Is it alright to put your finger over the trigger guard on a sub-compact pistol if it gives you more stability?

Thank you. Your videos are very helpful! Hoping to take a few of your courses here soon!

👍

This method always interferes with my trigger finger tip.

Can you recommend a dry fryer magazine for a Glock 43X?

I'm not new to shooting but, I really love how you explain shooting technique. It's actually refreshing, subtle, and easy to understand.

I'm a new shooter w small hands and a new Ruger 22 mag revolver. The grips must be different, yes? Could you address this? Thanks. Great videos!!

Hi there, I like Israeli grip.

I’m a 66 year old newbie. Your videos are so helpful for me.

You guys do some of the best training videos on the internet. Very detailed and you guys don't talk down to people and don't act "cocky" like a lot of the videos on the internet. I'm an NRA instructor and also teach concealed carry for my state and recommend your videos a LOT. Keep up the great work! Thank You!

💐👍

Great stuff

Amazing instruction as always, I hope to some day get some in person with y’all!

Nice explaination can easily understand clearly

I've seen frail girls not break their pistol grip even after rapid fire recoils which means it's not so much about grip strength as compared to where you place your hand that provides the best leverage. Jerking your pistol upwards as if you're firing your shot can show you where you need to focus on in terms of placement and pressure

I never realized how bad of a grip was my grip,thanks for that man,Great tips!👍🏼

I have a handgun on the cheaper side, a Taurus g3. I have seen plenty other videos where skilled shooters get great groups with it. Honest outlaw specifically, it would be child's play for him to hit at 50 yards with it, and sometimes even out to 100 yards. I have practiced proper grip and trigger pull, but myself being a right handed shooter, I consistently group low to the left at 7 yards. I don't want to blame my handgun because I have seen other people on here group well with my exact same gun, so I am convinced I had to be doing something wrong. Just yesterday I watched a video on proper use of the support hand where the guy said one should push forward with the support hand until you feel the muscles in the forearm of the support hand stretch just a little bit and this would help stop the low left groups. I have yet to try this. Could he be onto something?

“Proper” handgrip teaching techniques ignore the fact that not everyone has “proper” hand size to achieve the standard grip.

I'm glad you made reference to the support hand thumb. I have really short thumbs. I'm not able to extend my thumb near the rail. So, my thumb is raised a little higher on the slide. I actually have a better grip when my thumb is raised.

Thank you. For me its the best!

Thanks so much! You answered a question I had in a comment on a previous video regarding bringing my support hand index finger in front of the trigger guard! In that same video, you mentioned Isometric Tension. I find that this tip really helps me to steady my aim. I'm really enjoying your videos. Thanks for helping this new firearms enthusiast improve his enjoyment.

I have 𝕛𝕣. 𝕎𝕙𝕠𝕡𝕡𝕖𝕣 hands 😢

TIL I need to shrink my hands or find a way to graft a Glock slide onto a Desert Eagle frame

Best online training I've seen yet. Would love to be able to take live course with you

Of all the grip videos I’ve seen this is definitely the one that makes the most sense

The first photo you see is support hand w/ hand on slide...really, for an article about correct handgun grip...SMH

The angle of the support hand should not exceed 12 to 17°. That 30 to 45° grip angle does not allow you any support of that weapon and trying to lift your elbow to pressurize the side of the weapon is not giving you any advantage. The other thing virtually every trainer I've ever seen forget to teach is how to shoot one handed. A minimum of 10 to 15% of your training should be shooting one-handed, as well as with either hand. Get a good Weaver hold because a weaver allows you to shoot with the gun all the way up almost against your chest. As if you're in a closed quarters environment, like inside your home.
And please quit locking your elbows. I know that 9 mm are adequate. As long as you have other people with you to help return fire. But they aren't the Panacea the FBI believes. You should be shooting the most effective caliber that you can handle

7 guru’s will have 8 ways to do this or that depending on the day.

Thumbs are there for grip and fools use just one.
This style is just wrong.

NAILED IT! Your examples an emphasis on various techniques is great! I just watched a Mike Seeklander video on grip mistakes and how to correct them. I will re-watch both of your videos.

I’m learning that the perfect grip is a lifelong lesson.

Everyone has a different way to have you grip a pistol. Best thing is use all these suggestions and find a grip you feel comfortable with and shoot accurately .

I normally have my support over my firing hand thumb but I’ll give this a try and see if I can make an improvement.

No no no you don’t want your thumb on your slide

One question, can I leave my thumb resting on the slide or is it dangerous? I have heard from some instructors that leaving your thumb on the slide can bite or cause a malfunction or even cut your finger, but I saw an instructor say that it is better that the higher up it is, the better so that the recoil is more controlled?
