Cheek Pistol Concept: Unorthodox But Effective

Published on September 7, 2021
Duration: 10:39

The Cheek Pistol concept, pioneered by Rhett Neumayer, utilizes a compressed, unorthodox shooting stance with short firearms, creating a third point of contact with the cheek for enhanced stability. While demonstrated effectively with the Kel-Tec CP33 and Steyr SPP at 50 yards, the CP33 exhibits significant reliability issues, requiring specific ammunition to function. Future designs could improve brass ejection for cheek-weld shooting.

Quick Summary

The Cheek Pistol concept uses a compressed shooting stance with a short firearm, creating a third point of contact with the shooter's cheek for enhanced stability. This method, demonstrated with firearms like the Kel-Tec CP33 and Steyr SPP, allows for accurate fire up to 50 yards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Cheek Pistol concept?

The Cheek Pistol concept is an unorthodox shooting method pioneered by Rhett Neumayer, using a very short firearm in a compressed format with the shooter's cheek creating a third point of contact for enhanced stability and sight alignment.

What firearms are suitable for the Cheek Pistol technique?

Suitable firearms include low-recoil pistols with a protrusion off the back of the grip, such as the Kel-Tec CP33 and the Steyr SPP, allowing for a stable cheek weld.

How does the Cheek Pistol technique improve shooting accuracy?

By creating a third point of contact with the cheek, the technique significantly improves stabilization, allowing for more accurate fire and faster follow-up shots, even at distances like 50 yards.

What are the potential issues with the Kel-Tec CP33 for this technique?

The Kel-Tec CP33 exhibits significant reliability problems, being highly ammo-sensitive and often failing to chamber the first round, requiring specific high-velocity ammunition to function correctly.
