Mr. Grauffel just seems like he's thinking about things on a different level. By no means am I an expert marksman, nor do I claim to have deep knowledge on the subject, but this guy instruction in impressive. BTW, I've tried this technique (as I understand it) on my last two trips to the range. It's not a grip that I can get quickly - still have to think too much about it - but it definitely makes shooting much more comfortable. I'm gonna stick with it. Thanks for posting this video.
Thank you for sharing your technique for gripping the weapon. I got inspired and took out a gun form the safe to try some dry firing right away. It feels a bit unfamiliar, but at the same time, I believe this could really improve my shooting in the long run. Many thanks!
One time, I participated in a match, and the day before it, I broke my right hand - specifically, the metacarpal bones of my pinky and ring finger. Essentially, all I could do with my right hand was pull the trigger, and that was it. Surprisingly, my accuracy was better that day!
Looking at around 7:00 or so in the video, I tried doing that, not angling my wrist downward as so many people recommend, but leaving the wrist at a more natural position, more straight. But, I also get the first finger wrapping around the front of the trigger guard. The issue is that though I'd love to be able to shoot like that, as the amazing Lena Miculek does, as it appears to provide her with excellent control of the pistol, my first finger is so long that it wraps completely around the trigger housing and interferes with my trigger finger. Am I missing something, or doing something wrong? I'm about to become one of those super-seniors, so I need all the help I can get! Thank you! I just want to say that Eric is an extremely kind and helpful person. As many competitors have no doubt, I've been following him for decades, along with Henning and some of the other incredible international competitors. From back in the nineties when I was new to IPSC/USPSA competition and competing with a used 9x21 EAA small-frame Tanfo open-class pistol that I bought from Max Sr., to as recently as earlier this year, I have on numerous occasions written to him, most recently through his online store, asking a question of some type, hoping to glean some knowledge from his vast expertise. In every case, for at least 30-years now, Eric responded personally with general information, product info, advise, etc. That kind of accessibility is so rare today, and even more rare is an accessible person so willing to offer their expertise and knowledge to complete strangers from across an ocean. We need more folks like him! Thanks for an excellent video!
They should watch Ben’s class instead he posted a entire class straight up have e watch that class master if for a year then teach the rest of your department
He’s not wearing a plate carrier, he was never in SOF, there’s no rock music. This a technical discussion and has limited entertainment value to those not actually interested in improving their shooting or expanding their knowledge base.

Thanks for an excellent video!
gold; thanks for sharing this 👍
9k viewers for these two is why police and military sucks at shooting
They should watch Ben’s class instead he posted a entire class straight up have e watch that class master if for a year then teach the rest of your department
The goat 🙌✨
❤never to late❤❤❤
This is awesome. Is there a place where the full video lives?
Very interesting! How do you get these great shooters on your channel? I see JJ often as he lives down the street from my daughter!
With your new wrist position (down) your support hand is much, much stronger which lets you grip the bottom of the grip much better.
only 3 comments for a 9 time world champion?
It's unreal.
