Videos tagged with Thumb Indexing

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, explains that shooting low and left is primarily caused by improper grip, not trigger control. He details how to achieve a stable, controlled grip by aligning the firearm with the arm, using proper hand pressure distribution (40% dominant, 60% non-dominant), locking the wrist, and driving the weapon with chest muscles. The video emphasizes a 360-degree grip and proper thumb indexing to prevent muzzle flip and ensure consistent shot placement.

This guide details an efficient pistol drawing technique emphasizing a high grip and proper hand placement. It focuses on using an index point with the middle finger to ensure correct hand positioning, followed by thumb engagement with retention devices on holsters. The technique aims to minimize leverage and prepare for subsequent actions by establishing a high grip as the pistol clears the holster.
