Videos tagged with Trigger Guard Grip

This video addresses common issues with firearm grip that lead to slower draws and inconsistent first shots. The instructor emphasizes building a solid grip from the holster, ensuring proper hand placement and pressure are established early in the draw stroke. Consistent dry-fire practice is recommended to develop the necessary muscle memory and strength for an efficient and stable grip, rather than relying on external grip strengthening devices.

This video provides a fundamental guide to building a proper two-handed pistol grip, emphasizing its importance for recoil management and trigger control. The instructor details the high grip technique, the pressure distribution between hands (30-40% inside, 60-70% outside), and the correct thumb and wrist alignment for optimal recoil transfer. Practicing this grip is crucial for consistent shot placement and follow-up shots.

This video provides an in-depth instructional guide on establishing a strong, stable two-handed pistol grip. The instructor emphasizes building a solid foundation by focusing on the support hand's role as 'cement,' with pressure originating from the fingers to the palm. Key techniques include dropping the support-side elbow, leveraging the trigger guard, and collapsing the grip to maximize control and mitigate recoil.

World Champion Shooter Austin Proulx demonstrates an advanced handgun grip technique focused on maximizing control and minimizing recoil. This method emphasizes burying the dominant hand high on the backstrap and creating a locked, vice-like grip with the support hand. The technique aims to reduce the firearm's leverage against the shooter, leading to faster recovery and improved accuracy, especially during dynamic shooting scenarios.

This guide details the correct way to grip a shotgun for improved shooting performance, as demonstrated by Gil Ash of OSP Shooting School. It emphasizes a relaxed forend grip with the index finger pointed down the barrel and a straight back-hand placement into the trigger guard. Proper technique ensures straight wrists and a 45-degree elbow angle for a fluid gun mount, promoting consistency and accuracy. The core principle is 'soft hands, hard focus'.

Instruction from Jerry Miculek on preferred semi-automatic firearm stance and grip. He advocates for the isosceles stance, emphasizing a square-to-target position and a high grip. The technique involves bringing the firearm to the dominant eye, keeping the face flat, and supporting the trigger guard with the non-dominant hand, with specific mention of grip enhancements like skateboard tape for improved control.
