Yes, I’m Changing My Grip When Shooting Pistols

This expert-level guide, drawing from a Tenicor video, details a critical grip mistake that hinders recoil control. It emphasizes applying the majority of pressure via the support hand into the buttstock, utilizing a 'grip and hang' technique. This method, popularized by Frank Proctor, involves gripping the rail, relaxing the elbow, and letting arm weight provide linear pressure for efficient recoil management and reduced fatigue.

This video showcases a marksmanship competition between the Philippine Coast Guard Academy and the Philippine Army Officer Candidate School. An expert instructor provides detailed guidance on fundamental pistol shooting techniques, including proper grip, recoil control, sight alignment, and trigger squeeze. The instruction emphasizes precision aiming for different distances and reinforces the importance of firearm safety throughout the competition.

This guide details the foundational principles of effective pistol shooting as taught by a professional firearms instructor. It covers critical elements such as foot placement, knee and hip positioning for a stable fighting stance, upper body posture for recoil management, and precise grip techniques for both strong and support hands. The instruction emphasizes biomechanics to achieve predictable recoil travel and consistent shot placement across various firearm platforms.

This video demonstrates a rapid fire and reload drill from Regular Guy Training LLC. The shooter executes a high-speed draw, engages a target with approximately 10 rounds, performs a slide-lock emergency reload with an extended magazine, and fires two follow-up shots. The drill emphasizes recoil management, sight tracking, and efficient reloading techniques, showcasing advanced handgun proficiency.

This video showcases Tetiana Gaidar's impressive night shooting challenge, demonstrating advanced proficiency with iron sights in near-total darkness. The drill emphasizes muscle memory, recoil control, and rapid target acquisition across various shooting positions. Expert Taran Butler expresses astonishment at her accuracy, highlighting the reliance on fundamental mechanics when visual cues are minimal.

Instruction from TheYankeeMarshal, an experienced firearms instructor, explains that 'slipping up' or wrenching the wrist to control barrel rise is counterproductive for recoil management. The expert guide emphasizes absorbing recoil energy with the larger mass of the arm and shoulder, rather than the wrist, for superior control and a less abusive shooting experience.

Lucas Botkin announces his resignation from T.REX ARMS, the company he founded, citing core values and personal growth as primary drivers. He details the company's origins, his evolving ownership stake, and significant disagreements with partners, particularly concerning business ethics and perceived double standards. Botkin also touches on a mishandled harassment incident and his future plans to build new companies from the ground up.

Lucas Botkin demonstrates essential pre-trip preparation for tactical gear, focusing on camouflage techniques for AR-15 style rifles using spray paint and magazine identification with colored tape. The guide covers organizing batteries, checking weapon accessories like slings and optics, configuring tactical helmets with hearing protection, and assembling a Spiritus Systems plate carrier. This methodical approach ensures readiness for training sessions.

Lucas Botkin introduces a new T.REX Arms prototype rail featuring a 1.65-inch internal diameter, specifically designed to house suppressors up to 1.5 inches. The rail employs a direct thread mounting system for accessories, avoiding clearance problems often encountered with M-LOK when a suppressor is tucked. This design facilitates 'OG Honey Badger' style builds, with an anticipated release early next year.

Lucas Botkin of T.REX Arms conducts a rigorous live-fire test of their new metal prototype AR-15 rail. The test focuses on structural integrity and heat dissipation, with the rail demonstrating impressive thermal management, remaining cool enough to touch after multiple rapid-fire magazines, even with a suppressor attached. This experimental approach highlights the product development process for firearm components.
