How to shoot a Revolver with world record shooter, Jerry Miculek! (handgun grip & stance) 

"And I'm still learning"...The mark of a truly humble professional.

"Still learning"?! Jerry embodies two things perfectly (other than championship and expert) - sportsmanship and humility. What a guy

Not many competitors will tell you all of their "secrets" like this man. Tells you exactly what he does and dares you to beat him!

"I've shot about a million rounds through a revolver. And I'm still learning" -Jerry Miculek That's a sign of greatness.

Dude is a boss. He shoots five times before I would even think about shooting once...lots of practice I guess. And I'm sure a ton of natural talent.

Thanks for the tip on not having your finger in front of the cylinder. I recently bought a .44 Mag and have been researching the best grip. You are the only one who mentioned getting bit by escaping gases. THANK YOU for saving my fingers!!!

True American treasure. And he spends his time sharing his expertise. I am humbled to get to learn from him.

That was one of the most informative video's on gun shooting I've seen. Thank you.

30min of instructional greatness from the best thats ever been or will be! Thanks Jerry, you've got me excited about my new revolver!

Being that I am a revolver guy....I LOVE IT!!! GREAT JOB!!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!

"if you were my target" I was legit scared lol

Mr. Miculek is the most unpretentious professional I’ve ever had the pleasure of learning from. When he says he’s still learning it clearly shows. Since watching him as a kid on American Shooter to watching him now on this platform, it has been a privilege learning from him. He is the reason I enjoy shooting.

WOW! I learned more from that video than I have ever learned in one sitting. Thanks for sharing Jerry

Even Chuck Norris learned something new from this video.

The legend that says he is still learning. Thats perfection and it shows!

You know what would be perfect? A poster of Jerry pointing a gun directly at the camera. So when I look at the poster it looks like Jerry is pointing a gun at me.

6 shots reload and 6 shots that fast. Unbelievable!

Very, very informative. Simple is good, simple means less points of failure. Every starting revolver shooter should see this video and forget all the unnecessary things taught by various 'experts'.

Dam that guy is cool

OUT STANDING..you are the man.

When is this full auto revolver coming on the market? I didnt see it at Shot show

Simply the greatest speed shooter and probably the greatest revolver shooter who’s ever lived.

Thanks Jerry. I just bought that S&W M&P 340 J frame you showed. What a great surprise to see your recommended grip. Personalized training by you made my week.

All My Revolvers are S&W, my Favorites. Still have them ALL After ALL THESE YEARS. Been Watching YOUR VIDEOS for A FEW YEARS and ENJOY Them ALL. MANY THANKS FOR SHARING JERRY I was TRAINED on The Weaver Stance. But Now on Miculek

I love this series of videos Jerry. You put an awful lot of info in them. I have been at this a long time myself, and like you am trying new things in order to stay competitive. Thank you for taking the time to put this all together.

What a lot that can be learned from this man! Thanks again, Jerry.

Thanks for sharing Jerry, I think I've watched this three times now, and learn more every time.

Living Legend. If only I could like the video more than once!

As Mike Myers said, I watched his videos on pistol shooting, grips, and techniques. Didn't realize how much I was doing wrong! When I got to the range, I went from shooting 3/5 hitting a 8 inch target at 21 feet ( CCW requirement for my state), to putting 18/20 in a 4 inch pattern. I shoot a Taurus Judge Public Defender...first shot I did my old way, last shot I tried the dual action...just not used to that yet. lol Anyway, my shooting improved immensely!!!! I recommend that anyone who is getting inconsistent results with their pistol to watch Jerry, listen, learn, apply.

Thanks for the revolver grip and stance tips....you just sold me on the isosceles, had preferred modified Weaver prior.....will be adding some of your tips to my handgun classes and pointing students to your videos as well...

What a talented, humble & great man! The best instructor!

Absoutely priceless, pure gold. Thank you Mr. Miculek for putting this up, it's a treasure-trove of information for those of us who are new to revolvers (and those of who aren't as well, I suspect). We're lucky to have someone like you who gives so much back to the community.

Thank you so much for teaching us. It is truly a blessing to be able to learn from the best in the world.

I review these videos over and over gleaning new insights and valuable advice from them. Four years ago, I didn't catch every thing you were teaching me, but I just want to say, that you are so right about repetition and incremental improvements. I am still in awe of your abilities. I am still thankful to you for your work in passing on what you have learned to us fellow shooting sports enthusiasts. By the way, I know you're are a great teacher by watching your wife and daughter shoot and win too. I love you all.

This is fantastic. A world class shooter giving a 100% free shooting tutorial. Thanks Jerry! You are the greatest shooter and the best sportsman. Your attitude is the absolute best.

Excellent information from undoubtedly one of the most proficient and humblest people in the sport as well as on the planet I've had the honor of sharing targets with. It was back in the days when I don't think Jerry even owned an auto-loader, but his love for the sport and willingness to share is unmatched. Thanks Jerry!

Excellent advice! I enjoyed every minute of this video. I learned a lot about controlling recoil and stance. Thank you 🙏🏻

I have to say that you are a fantastic teacher. Thank you for the videos. I love them all.

He is a living legend. He is the real deal

This guy is all class. He calls it as it is, explains it in a humble way, and really demonstrates why it's correct. When it came to talking about his own products vs the factory grips, he only focused on the positives for both, not once does he suggest you spend any money on his brand. He is the meaning of genuine.

I never stop learning from you Jerry. Thank you Sir.

Modern school of thought is that revolvers are antiquated, but Jerry shows that this is not true and that it's about YOU, and not the weapon.

Thank you Jerry so very, very much for taking time to share your knowledge and expertise teaching everyone to be better shooters at whatever level we’re all at. Thank you!!

I love these videos, put em on when I get back from the range and clean. Very relaxing, and you actually learn a few things.

Thank you for taking the time to communicate this Mr. Miculek, I really appreciate it! It's been very helpful!

this is a great video with great information. You should also record or put out short clips. I haven't fully watched the video but you have taught me a better and safer way to hold a revolver.

Wow Jerry gives the best coaching/ instructions you can ever receive....really smart people will pay attention and learn from the master!

Thanks, Jerry. This may be the single best video on revolver handling online. I've lost count of how many trainers and RU-vid videos still promote the Weaver stance , and how many semiauto trainers hold revolvers with the thumb extended into the cylinder gap.

"..or you can do what I did; 1,000,000 rounds later my thumb is dead." But man! you are still awesome.

Thanks Jerry! I modified a little my grip and it was night and day at the range.

Jerry Miculek I have watched this video a hundred times it never gets old anytime you want to do a revolver video I will be watchin g you you are the best thank you me and my family got to hang out with you and the other shooters from the icore match of 2021 in September on your range at shoot out lane I will never forget keep shooting and keep teaching us thank you i hope you and Lena and Kay are doing well thank you

Sure appreciate your video giving detailed lessons in everything from grip to stance! Thank you so much!

Well Jerry I've learned a lot from you!

i shoot a j frame 642 and 442 (lock free) with hogue grips and this video makes my strong hand thumb hurt..i hyper extended my right thumb in a russia vs usa wrestling match (i won)..my job is pretty physical and my thumb hasnt had the time to heal correctly and it has impacted my shooting greatly..moral of the story take care of your fingers

I watch this on a regular basis to remind myself to keep going back to basics when I start shooting wrong. After too many years of poor muscle memory, this video makes it all good again. Thank you so much.

He is the reason i’ve started taking interest in revolvers.

Really good on stance, I just learned quite a bit. Thank you.

Thanks so much for sharing! You have some huge paws there Jerry!

This is one of the first videos I watched after i picked up my Ruger gp100 great vid helped me out tremendously

Thanks for the advice, Sir! Gonna practice your technique. Hope you keep making these excellent teaching and entertaining videos.

This is an amazing video. You've thought this out so well and put it into words so well, it's like you've founded your own martial art. And speaking of martial arts, while the Weaver stance is closer to martial arts stances, traditional martial arts generally are not centered on a gun. A knife or sword, or staff, yes. The power for those weapons, or for feet and fists, comes from the body. The power in a gun comes from an explosion of gunpowder. So the body is not needed to propel the bullet, best to get it out of the way of the shot. But it is still very much a Zen sport we have here, so body mechanics are still crucial to top performance. They're just very different than those for traditional martial arts. You're not throwing a kick, you're pointing a weapon.

I learned a lot in 5 minutes. Good video.

Thank you for all of your incredible advice and experience Jerry.

that was an excellent instruction video, you have changed my thought on stances completely. I'm not a comp shooter, but after practicing the iso method i've improved exponentially. THANK YOU!

Anyone who argues with this man is just a fool.

He throws bullets at the gun and they go in. Jesus.

Jerry is AMAZING!!! He is both an expert shooter and a great teacher!

Here is my Combat Revolver CCW Action Shooting Highlight w/ various Brand New Released revolvers ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ty0lhQ5hVm0.html and here is link to my new 4 1/2 Hr Combatives & Street Jiu-jitsu Digital DVD bjjfanatics.com/products/combatives-and-street-jiu-jitsu-by-dan-the-wolf-man-theodore

9:58 "now my thumb is dead so I don't really care" I'm in tears laughing

Would love to see Jerry participate in one of those mock self defense tests where they use the paint cartridges & wear the helmets and stuff.

Just a great channel in every way. Thank you, champ!

Mr. Jerry, you have an awesome youtube channel. I learn something every time I watch one of your videos.

Thanks for the expert knowledge sir. It's like Tom Brady telling all the secrets on being a quarterback. Awesome.

Jerry, thank you for this video it's helped me understand more of the reasons behind the Isosceles.

Jerry this video is awesome and thank you! For all your knowledge sharing it with us all.

10:41 I have owned dozens of Smiths and Rugers. I had no Idea you could do that with a DA revolver until now.

Great videos. There is a little bit of a distance between the two of you guys, but I think that you and Hickok45 should get together and do some videos. The two of you guys are who I get all my information from. If I am looking to buy a gun a go to his channel to see what he thinks of it and then I come to your channel to get the proper shooting techniques and try to apply them when I go to my local range. Thank you for passing your knowledge on.

Tons of fantastic knowledge here, thanks for sharing your awesomeness! I've been gripping handguns hard for many years because it just makes sense for recoil mitigation and faster follow-up shots (if that's your goal of course). It also makes sense for stabilization during a trigger press. Last week I had an armchair expert in a gun store trying to tell me that I need to just let the gun recoil upward and loosen my grip...like it was the end all be all. Everyone's an expert these days .

Its Jerry's attitude is what makes him a winner

Thanks for the great lesson!!

your the best shooter I have ever seen

This has got to be the best review of basics and methods that I have seen in a long time. I recommend this to my friends who want to learn as well as those who have developed bad habits over the years. I plead guilty to that as well.

Thanks for sharing your expertise, Jerry.

Muy bueno, me gustaria escucharlo en español o verlo subtitulado, desde ya gracias. !!

I use weaver stance only when shooting around cover left or right handed but when there is no cover I keep my feet square to the target.

Awesome info. In the past I used a modified weaver stance in comp. years ago btw. But I've been practicing the o stance in random situations. Picking up my gun from the kitchen counter, pocket, etc. Much more natural movement. Eliminate as much movement as possible, to be on the front site. Very efficient. Thanks for sharing.

I love your videos. Highly informative. I just got my first revolver yesterday, a Rossi 357, I know it's a cheap revolver but it's something to practice with until I can afford one like that S&W you had in this video, LOVE the look of that one, and the accessory rail is what I really want. I jist hope that once I get one I love the feel in my hands as much as I love the look. Lol. I'm still trying to get out of the habit of closing my non-dominate eye when shooting though.

My mom just got a .38 revolver. J frame. And I was showing her how to hold it. I wasn't too familiar with the holding of a small framed revolver like that. So I guessed and told her to wrap her left thumb over and behind the right thumb. Then I go to this video and sure enough that's what he said to do. So I now feel confident that I'm knowledgeable enough to teach her how to shoot.

this guy must have been practicing that shoot & reload in his mother's amniotic sac

Thank you very much for these excellent videos. I've learned a lot today, and I look forward to practicing.

Your advice is great and is understood easily by anyone. Thank you very much for your time and concern for me. I am in awe of your abilities.

Jerry is the Jordan/Lebron of the shooting world. Dude doesn't lose! Super impressive .. I wonder who beat him that one time? LoL

Also, just a thought but, if you could show us from the shooters perspective instead of from the spectators perspective. Maybe with a GoPro or google glass .

This guy is my Hero....... Love ya Jerry keep the videos coming....

A video on aiming technique would be a very nice addition to this one and thank you very much for those instructive videos Jerry and your team. Thanks again.

how come this man is so much cooler than I'll ever be

"I shot about a million rounds through a revolver - and I am still learning" - that's what true masters tell you about learning: you never stop learning. :)

I've long liked Jerry's instructional videos. Thanks Jerry!

Miculek for President 2016! I love his videos & I am grateful to watch a world record holder, showing his opinions! Thanks Jerry!

The audio can't catch up...
