This expert guide, presented by Guido from Vampire Guns, details the correct pistol grip technique for effective recoil management. It emphasizes understanding the immense energies involved in firing a pistol and how to use a fluid, body-integrated grip to absorb recoil rather than fight it. Key techniques include proper hand placement, utilizing leverage, and maintaining symmetrical tension for harmonious reaction, crucial for both accuracy and control during rapid fire.

This guide details the optimal weak hand grip for carbines, as demonstrated by an expert from GBRS Group. It emphasizes a far-forward hand placement on the handguard to maximize leverage, control recoil, and minimize muzzle flip. Proper technique leads to faster follow-up shots and improved target transitions, applicable to platforms like the AR and AK.

This video tests the reliability of a post-World War I Luger pistol, specifically addressing the common claim that they frequently jam. The test involved firing three rapid shots, followed by tests with a loose grip and a side grip. While initially reliable, the pistol eventually experienced a failure to extract, resulting in a stovepipe malfunction that required manual clearing.

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 instructional segment from Richardson Precision & Training focuses on the critical fundamentals of firearm stance and grip. Lead instructor Daniel Richardson, assisted by Daniel Wright, demonstrates how an incorrect stance (weight on heels) leads to muzzle drop and instability. They emphasize a balanced stance with weight forward ('nose over toes') for optimal recoil absorption and control. The video also details building a proper two-handed grip, highlighting the 'C-clamp' method for both hands to fill gaps, create leverage, and manage recoil effectively, while also advising against locked elbows.

This expert guide from Taran Tactical focuses on optimizing movement and shooting efficiency with a PCC, specifically the SIG MPX. It covers advanced techniques for transitioning between targets, natural shooting stances, grip pressure, and recoil management. The instruction emphasizes saving time through efficient movement and preparation, drawing on Taran's extensive competitive shooting experience.

This guide details a technical, mechanical approach to gripping a pistol for everyday carry (EDC), drawing from various tactical training methodologies. It emphasizes a specific two-handed grip technique focusing on 'pinning the frame' to manage recoil and improve control. The method breaks down the grip into numbered steps for both the strong and weak hands, using analogies like a hammer grip to explain the importance of fine motor control for trigger manipulation.

This episode of the Practical Pistol Show features Ben Stoeger, Matt Hopkins, and Gaston discussing competitive shooting topics. Key takeaways include advice on choosing a first competition pistol for a teenager, emphasizing the importance of the shooter's preference and familiarity over a specific model. The discussion also delves into the strategic decision-making around 'makeup shots' in competition, advocating for a behavioral approach over complex math, and exploring the nuances of establishing a consistent and effective grip, particularly the weak-hand grip.

This video provides expert instruction on mastering the double-action trigger pull and grip for pistols like the CZ SP-01, CZ-75 B, and Tanfoglio. It details how to build a proper two-handed grip, emphasizing high hand placement and consistent pressure from both hands to control recoil and minimize sight movement during the trigger press. The instructor highlights the importance of practice and proper technique for achieving accurate and rapid follow-up shots.

This guide details the proper pistol grip technique as demonstrated by Kay Miculek, head instructor for Babes with Bullets. It emphasizes a high grip on the backstrap for both strong and weak hands, a high thumb position, and consistent pressure for optimal recoil control and accuracy. The instruction is professional and authoritative, suitable for beginners seeking to improve their shooting fundamentals.
