Frequently Asked Questions

What are the three main tips to improve handgun accuracy?

The three key tips to improve handgun accuracy are: 1. Ensure the weapon is aligned down your arm and brought to your dominant eye. 2. Use the tip of your trigger finger with a slight gap from the firearm. 3. Maintain a firm grip and use your pectoral muscles when driving the gun out, coupled with a slow, deliberate trigger press.

How can I fix 'low and left' shots with my handgun?

To fix 'low and left' shots, focus on a slow, controlled trigger press, avoiding slapping or jerking. Ensure your weapon is properly aligned down your arm and brought to your dominant eye, and maintain a firm, consistent grip. These techniques prevent the muzzle from dropping during the shot.

What is the correct way to align a handgun for shooting?

Proper handgun alignment involves ensuring the weapon is pointed straight down your arm, not at an angle. Furthermore, you should bring the firearm up to meet your dominant eye by turning your chin, rather than dipping your head down to the weapon.

How should I position my finger on the trigger for better accuracy?

For better accuracy, use the tip of your trigger finger to engage the trigger. Aim to create as much gap as possible between your finger and the firearm, meaning your skin shouldn't be touching the gun. This allows for a cleaner, more controlled trigger press.
