Oh My God! Just when you think you have heard and seen it all! What a fabulous pack of useful info and more importantly what a presentation! No corny humor no self aggrandizing (even though your record is well deserving) and no overly dumbed down or jargon-filled. You are a natural teacher. How awesome to see the daughter of world class champions exceeding parents and carving a unique niche. Thank you Ms Lena. Well done indeed.
Lena is the only well-known pro I see using the ‘trigger guard grip,’ which I have had some shooters use to great effect over the years. Thanks for being willing to show people that doing slightly different from whatever the ‘tactical shooting flavor of the week’ happens to be is OK, as long as it increases performance!
@@johnjubie7144 There's a video that Jerry Miculek, the man himself, tackles the same point that a dude makes when saying that: "There's no right or wrong way to do it, there's winning or losing". Always remember that "the current way" of gripping a handgun would be outrageous 40 years ago, and "40 years ago way" would be outrageous 80 years ago.
@@johnjubie7144 I do the same thing, ccw instructor said "can you shoot like that" I said absolutely, ended up being one of the two fastest and most accurate in the class. Other other guys only edge was his striker fired gun vs my double action SIG. They made me start firing with my hammer down so I wasn't quite as fast as the other guy lol
She emphasizes over and over CONSISTENCY. I like the more natural wrist angle when I put a finger in front of the trigger guard. The problem arises when the pistol in my hand has a smooth, rounded front on the trigger guard. I definitely would test this approach but for my 1911 bias.
Lena you're the best instructor I've ever seen. Thank you for your time and excellence. Much better than a lot of shooters and operators here on RU-vid.
Comment from across the pond from Germany: Uplula has been available in Europe for a while and it is one of the best pistol related inventions ever. If you don't have one as a pistol owner, it's your own fault. Good that Lena brings this useful thing back to mind.
Thanks Lena for taking the time to explain the why's and demonstrate the how's. Too many pro-shooter's skip past us novice folks that do a bit of plinking or to stop a threat snakes, skunk etc. and your skill levels can zip by us when watching.
I've got nerve damage and loading mags is tough. When I was shooting for my concealed carry permit the RSO brought me an UpLula and it was amazing. I wasn't as fast as Lena but it's crazy how easy one makes loading especially with new mags that have stiff springs. When I bought my P365 an UpLula was along side.
Turns out that my left elbow has been turning down during presentation . Causing shots to go left.I tried all the other shooters’ tips for left impacts. No permanent fix. I didn’t know I was doing this,until this video made me Look at my elbows.MUCH thanks Lena!
Great tips, especially about the elbows. Will have to try the two fingers over the trigger guard. Excellent tips, and excellent instructing- I love her teaching style.
Every one of Lena's videos I have seen have had outstanding info. One note on her (Vulcan) 2 fingers on the trigger guard grip - this works for competitive shooters since they are not permitted to have pistol lights attached but most self defense/LEO have lights which prevent this type of grip.
You have taught me 2 valuable techniques that I did not know, thank you. And if it is stated as a 2A fact by a Miculek, then it always hits the bullseye! Take care, Lena!
Best instructions that I’ve ever seen on pistol grip. I really need help and I can already predict this will really help my shooting accuracy. Thank you Lena for sharing this with us. I will definitely hit the follow button after seeing this video.
thank you lena i have shot ipcic for 20 years and come only25th or less watching your tips i am now 4th and 5th thank you so much all these tip from good shooter help
Thanks for the info on this one, thanks Lena, I have been following your dad for a long time, always been amazed with all that he's done in the shooting world 🌎, and watching you're video was cool, learning about this from some of the best shooter's in the USA, keep doing what you're doing, thanks 👍😊 and I enjoyed the clip on this one thanks again
Your explanation on using your body to control recoil is great. I have been shooting for awhile, but just could not seen to be consistent .. Bad days were not so bad just not as good as consistently my good days thank you for something new to try.. use my body to control recoil, after watching your video I dont think my stance was very good, consistent I mean.. thanks again
thats kinda cool. recently been using my fingers infront of the trigger guard and finding it much comfortable. only downside is i cant shoot if theres any add on like light etc mounted on my gun
Hi Lena, regarding the pro-grip do you have any recommendations on any type of shooting gloves? or gloves made for shooting? I have the worse case of sweaty palms and Pro-grip just becomes bad.
Put the bandaids on first. I see too many people getting cut up from areas on their new pistols at their first instruction class. If they're getting uncomfortable, get that padding on before they start to dislike their new sport. An UpLula is also a UnLoader. There's a groove cut in the side. I need a class in Louisiana. Please.
