The Secret to Fixing Low & Left Shots

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 guide, presented by firearms instructor John G. Johnson, addresses the common issue of shooting low and left. It outlines five key techniques to improve accuracy: establishing a proper, high, and firm grip with a 60/40 pressure distribution; executing a deliberate trigger press with the pad of the finger; stopping recoil anticipation through drills; maintaining sharp front sight focus; and completing a proper follow-through. Adhering to these fundamentals is crucial for consistent shot placement.

This guide details dry fire drills focused on improving grip and trigger control, as explained by firearms instructor Joel Park. It emphasizes the importance of consistent grip pressure and minimizing unintended input during the trigger press. The drills are designed to build good habits that translate to live fire accuracy, even with limited ammunition.

This video by John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, details the common grip errors that lead to inaccuracy, such as the 'thumb crush grip' and 'back gap'. He emphasizes achieving a positive grip by maximizing skin contact, positioning the pistol high in the web of the hand, and aligning the eye over the bore by moving the chin. Proper grip is presented as the foundation for accuracy and confidence.

This video provides a technique to improve trigger control for enhanced shooting accuracy. It emphasizes focusing on consistent, rearward pressure on the trigger, allowing the shot to break naturally, and practicing slow, deliberate shots to train the brain on proper trigger manipulation. The instructor highlights that the amount of finger on the trigger is less critical than the quality of pressure applied.

Instruction from professional firearms instructor John G. Johnson breaks down common causes of inaccuracy at the range. He emphasizes that lateral pressure during the trigger pull, not the trigger's forward/backward motion, is the primary culprit. Mastering a solid grip and proper trigger control are presented as the foundational elements for significant accuracy improvement.

This guide, based on instruction from Professional Firearms Instructor John G. Johnson, details the 'combat grip' for improved pistol accuracy. It emphasizes proper hand placement, high grip on the tang, and the role of the support hand in recoil management, correcting common errors like the 'teacup' grip.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor, outlines five essential firearms for immediate acquisition. The recommendations cover a 9mm pistol, an AR platform rifle, a home defense shotgun, a .22 pistol, and a .22 rifle. This selection provides a balanced approach to personal defense, training, and general utility.

This video outlines four key reasons for obtaining a concealed carry permit (CCW) in Florida. It highlights the benefit of carrying during average police response times, avoiding the mandatory waiting period for firearm purchases, leveraging reciprocity with other states, and the accessibility for non-residents to obtain a Florida CCW.

Firearms instructor John G. Johnson provides a clear, instructional guide on two effective methods for loading pistol magazines: the 'Cross Method' and the 'Pez Dispenser Method'. He acknowledges the common difficulties new shooters face with spring tension and encourages viewers to practice both techniques to find their preferred approach. The video emphasizes practical skills for handling ammunition and magazines.
