This video discusses how to identify if a firearm is a poor fit for your hand and how to adapt your technique. Instructor Ben Stoeger emphasizes that early interaction with a gun provides the best assessment of fit. He suggests that if you consistently struggle with grip or trigger manipulation after a reasonable amount of training (e.g., 2500 rounds), it may indicate a fundamental fit issue. However, he also details how specific hand positions and conscious 'cues' during training can help overcome minor fit challenges with platforms like Glocks, Sig P320s, and even Staccatos, by adapting your technique rather than solely relying on the gun's ergonomics.
Ben Stoeger explains his delayed adoption of 2011-platform handguns in USPSA competition. Historically, early 2011 magazines were unreliable, and popular calibers like 38 Super Comp and 40 S&W Limited led to frequent malfunctions. The shift towards 9mm Major and improved magazine reliability, particularly with Staccato's marketing to law enforcement, made the platform more viable. Stoeger now uses 2011s due to market trends and audience demand, acknowledging the platform's evolution.
Ben Stoeger advises against excessively long training sessions, particularly those exceeding six hours or involving very high round counts (1000+). He emphasizes that fatigue significantly degrades shooting performance and mental acuity. Instead of prolonged sessions, Stoeger advocates for shorter, more intense training periods (around 90 minutes) where shooters can maintain aggression and focus, leading to better skill development.
