One Simple Change That Will Improve Your Gun Accuracy 

I would just add that after getting this grip, you can roll your forearms toward each other. You'll feel your hands pinch the gun in place at the top. This helps mitigate the recoil more. Learned that tip from John Lovell.

Be sure not to lock your arms and have your elbows slightly bent. This makes your arms act as a giant very strong spring vs relying more on your wrists

Practice, practice practice.... But seriously, here are a few suggestions: 1) For many right-hand shooters, their groups are low and to the left. (For lefties it's low and to the right) This is a sign of recoil anticipation. Get a few dummy rounds and have a friend insert them into your magazine (or cylinder) while at the range. Your goal is for the handgun should remain rock solid when pulling the trigger on a dummy round. 2) Get one of those diagnostic targets that tells you what the problem is based on where your grouping is. There are PDF versions you can find on the internet and print out at home. (If using a target designed for right handed shooters, lefties will need to do a left/right mirror image of the diagnostics.) 3) Move the target closer until your accuracy improves. Don't worry about 10 yard groupings until you're consistently shooting 9's and 10's at the 5 and 7 yard distances. 4) Is your sight picture correct? Use a sand bag or other support and make slow steady shots? Are those accurate? If so, then it's you. If not, then it could be either your sight picture or the sights on the gun. Have someone else (a good shooter) shoot it. Can they hit bulls eyes with your handgun? If so, then it's possible your sight picture is not what your handgun is expecting. Have a conversation with that other shooter where each of you drawn how you see the sights and the target when you pull the trigger. 5) How is your eyesight? I need reading glasses for close-up and working on the computer. When I took up shooting, I found that my reading glasses were the wrong focal distance for me to clearly see the front sight on my handgun. My eye doctor loaned me some special lens that allowed me to determine the best strength that allowed me to see the front sight and the target. I went to the range and held each one up in front of my eyes while aiming my unloaded handgun at the target. After figuring out the desired strength, he then created an eyeglass prescription with a focal point at the tip of the barrel on my Beretta M9 with my arms extended in front of me. Having information about your handgun, caliber and ammo might provide additional insight. Plus your shooting distance and the type of targets you are using. Maybe you're just shooting ammo that is too hot for you. Is the handgun too big for your hands? Do you have unrealistic expectations of your accuracy? Some small handguns have barrels that are way too short to expect accuracy beyond 7 yards. There are some excellent training videos out there. Jerry Miculek's daughter has some good RU-vid content on grip and practice drills. Do a Google search on: Lena Michulek handgun training video

Select the correct firearm for you 1st and foremost

Important question, since a flamethrower is not legally a weapon, can you carry it in court

@@USCCAOfficial thank you bro!......simple yet profound!

Everyone of us is built slightly different and we learn to hold a gun the way it is most comfortable for us to shoot but we should also try different ways and maybe change if we shoot better. For me it did not work and I tried several new ways but I always go back to using my old Revolver Grip while shooting my Glocks. It Works for Me and it's Personal!

@@stevekatz4372 I agree with you... Nothing I may say should ever be taken with the inference that one size fits all. It's the process of working to find what works for each of us and picking what works and leaving what doesn't that's the important thing, whether griping a pistol, rifle or learning a stance. Happy shooting, brother.

I totally agree about the control. I grip my left hand tighter and relax my grip on my right hand inside it or I shoot low and left.

Agreed on all points. Right handed left eye dominant here, shoot lefty. Strong hand acting as support hand allows me great recoil control. Have laser bullets for all my defense calibers. Fantastic cost-effective practice, cannot recommend highly enough.

@@BaritoneMonkey which laser system do you use? Thanks!

@@naughtystep9856 I use a Pink Rhino 9mm laser cartridge and the Splits app combined with a target to dry fire practice. Don't have anything like the Mantis - but the Pink Rhino should be compatible with a lot of laser systems, as well as come in multiple calibers I believe.

@@BaritoneMonkey thanks!

Was hoping for a side-by-side comparison as well. I'm still going to try it next time I'm at a range.

I was taught this the first time I shot but didn't understand why my wrist had to be angled down so hard so I started losing accuracy the longer I shot due to fatigue and anticipating recoil. I think this just fixed my problem

Yeah that’d be cool if the ran it side by side in slow motion too but you’ll feel it at the range

@@damedollas21 went yesterday, can confirm it works 100%

#uscca is this yalls stuff or something you want to look into?

Glad it was helpful!

No one can anticipate every physical issue a shooter will have. Im over 70 with arthritis and many other joint issues. You may want to search for a trainer specific to your handicap.

Yep. Also does a great video about different grips. I've got both thumb and grip videos downloaded.

Great hold. Has the same effect of canting the wrist, but without the bother and time to set up; been using this ("Ayoob") technique for many many years: Thumb print (support hand) over thumb nail (strong hand). Quick, easy, effective. Also transitions to strong hand only quite simply and fast.

@@rogerlinscott3224 I first saw and read Mas Ayoob putting firth the "thumb mashing" grip back in 1987. That and a modified Weaver, and I can download a magazine accurately with only the original sight picture. Muscle memory... It's a beautiful thing.

Hard to take from you while lead is coming out of the barrel. this is not a service pistol retention technique.

@@gscop1683 Because you know as much about handling firearms as Mas Ayoob 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for the support
