Gen 6 Glock 17: It Is in Fact as Accurate as We’ve Come to Expect from Glock

This guide details the 'crush grip' technique, a method endorsed by legendary shooters like Bill Jordan and Rob Latham, to eliminate 'low left' shots caused by sympathetic movement. By applying maximum pressure with all non-trigger fingers, shooters can stabilize the firearm, allowing the trigger finger to operate independently. The guide includes specific dry fire, ball and dummy, and live fire drills to ingrain this technique for improved pistol accuracy across various firearms.

This video discusses the comfort and functionality of the Gen 6 Glock 17 after extensive shooting. The speaker highlights that despite firing 6,000 rounds, general discomfort related to the gun's function was minimal, with only expected fatigue in the wrists and support hand.

This video details the 'crush grip' technique, a method used by legendary shooters like Bill Jordan and Rob Leatham, to combat low-left misses caused by sympathetic movement. By maximizing grip pressure with all non-trigger fingers, shooters can stabilize the hand and allow the trigger finger to operate in isolation, leading to significantly tighter groups. The guide includes specific dry fire and live fire drills to ingrain this technique.
