Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'goofy' one-handed shooting technique?

The 'goofy' technique involves canting the pistol sideways, fully extending and locking the shooting arm and wrist. This creates counter-pressure to manage recoil effectively, allowing for faster and more consistent recovery during one-handed shooting.

Why is one-handed shooting important?

One-handed shooting is a crucial 'martial arts' skill for close-quarters, high-retention situations where a support hand may be unavailable or compromised. It's distinct from standard two-handed shooting used for distance accuracy.

How does the Surefire Warcomp benefit shooting?

The Surefire Warcomp acts as both a flash hider and a compensator. It significantly reduces muzzle rise and flash, contributing to better control and faster follow-up shots, especially noticeable in techniques like one-handed shooting.

What is the key to accurate one-handed shooting?

Accurate one-handed shooting relies heavily on relearning trigger isolation and reset. Without a support hand, it's easier to impart unwanted movement to the firearm, making precise trigger control paramount.
