Stance, Grip, and Presentation 

1:47 ‘If you just stand up, you probably are going to be good.’ He is also a philosopher.

Appreciate you covering the variability of grip

I really appreciate these sneak peeks at your training classes. These clips have helped me improve in several different areas. I would love to take a class or two your style as an instructor is bad ass, but for now I’m grateful you’re sharing what you do. Looking forward to the next one!! ☕️ 🗽✌🏻🦅🤘🏻

A cup of joe and fundamentals...a great way to start the day! ☕🦅💯‼

I just found you.. I've been a long time shooter, but got away from it for a few years.. Divorce, health, etc.. So now I'm retiring and need to do some shooting again as I'm buying a home defense firearm. Most likely a pistol or an AR15.. Pistol probably.. Probably a 1911.. I used to carry both a 1911 and a Smith and wesson model 19 in 357 with a 2 inch barrel! I subscribed.. Great channel.. Checking out some of your older videos.. Thanks so much. Tim

Weaver stance has been taught for long with very good results. It can't be that bad.

It would be a dream to be able to attend one of your classes! thanks for sharing with us in youtube land sir

fundamentals, this never gets old

I have big hands so I do grab the front of the trigger guard with my support finger on my carry gun only!

Thanks for providing us with this valuable info for free Pat 👍

Informative as always.

Finally! Someone who makes perfect sense!😊

Always a very thoughtful teacher, great stuff 👍

Exactly what I teach, good stuff

Brilliant, great job, thank you

Getting strong "Macho Man" vibes from Pat Mac these days. I approve 👍

Love these videos

Awesome instruction... Keep them coming!

I haven't seen old school Weaver in a long time. Thanks, Mac. Rock n Roll!

Thank you for posting these types of videos. Really... Thank you.

Your demeanor is badass Pat. You make instruction interesting. Thank you.

Much luv bro mac

Makin' the boat float: Basic dude stuff.

3:51 - I was told don't grip the damn thing like you're trying to strangle your wife, er, um (oops)..." 😂💀

I like old school Weaver, it's just natural for me.

Stances is a constantly evolving in a fight, however exaggerated it might become its all about balance. So would say yes its a fundamental, in that you never wanna be tied down to ridged fundamentals when in a fight. They cause overthinking and slow ridged movements rather smooth flow based on the circumstances.

If I could afford to take one of your classes I would.

This is the last video I watched while drinking my morning coffee. "Exagerated tactical turtle" ?!?! Made my day !! That and the usual "no BS all results" approach. Have a nice day

That gripping of the trigger guard has a benefit for only those that have the right hand size for the particular pistol and trigger guard size and position as well as specific training to gain a small advantage. If it's off, it's worse and weakens the grip and might cause pulling shots to the side. Some competition shooters made good use of it but it's rare. A partially open hand is weaker. If you have to grip forward instead of up, arms positioned further off from symmetrical. Others like Vogel don't grip the front but underneath almost at the corner of the trigger guard, more like a pushed forward wedge grip. What may work on the handgun you got now, might be a detriment on any other pistol you might pick up. The pinky is your hard working guy. Same pressure before, during and after and the same pressure before, during and after dry firing too. EDIT: had a the the and another typo.

Man, Pat Mac is a good trainer. I hope we don't need to know all this stuff, but things seem to keep getting worse and not better.

I see so many instructors in different areas of life not actually answer the question asked.

👍👍

👍

Doesn't grip trump trigger pull? If your shots are going left, right, or down you can fix all of that by correcting and adjusting your grip. What says Pat Mac?

“Don’t grip the damn like you’re trying to strangle your wife.” Nothing else you could compare gripping to tight with? 😳

Please please please 🙏 buy caned food and fuel now while you can

Just shoot allot and practice shooting more dont overthink it.. its not complicated really

First!
