Because what he has isn't something you can just learn from some secret techniques or tricks. His skills are only attainable from decades of high quality training and not just out a shootin. practice only makes perfect if you practice perfectly until it becomes muscle memory before you can start to improve to his level.

Thanks for the tip on not having your finger in front of the cylinder. I recently bought a .44 Mag and have been researching the best grip. You are the only one who mentioned getting bit by escaping gases. THANK YOU for saving my fingers!!!
There's a vid on hickok45 that shows the damage from the cylinder gas and possible sheared bullet fragments from a mis-aligned cylinder. Keep your hand away from the cylinder gap! That's why it's a good idea to wear glasses with side shields when at the range and shooting next to a revolver shooter.
Yeah, Hickok45 has two (05/15/2012 & 02/03/2013) videos about getting bit by escaping gases from a revolver's cylinder/forcing cone gap. Just sayin'. ✋🤚
Any revolver can go full auto if handled incorrectly. I know your comment was not about that, but since its near the top I took the opportunity to put it before the public. People have accidentally killed themselves when they lost control of revolvers.
@@buliwyf3236 granted he is wrong about them going full auto, it's not full auto it's a result of handing an inexperienced shooter a double action with powerful recoil, it's generally recommended that a person's first time with a cartridge like 500 s&w you give them one round and leave the rest of the cylinder empty so that if it goes flying the worst case scenario is a getting hit with the gun and not a bullet meant for killing large and dangerous game. With all that being said I absolutely love big bore anything, excellent for hunting and they turn a 2 liter into mist.
Jonny Bravo you have no clue what you are talking about. For one she was shooting a Desert Eagle that is a true semi auto pistol. With a revolver that is impossible because she would have to either cock the hammer or pull the trigger a second time.
@@martina6212 when it happens with revolvers its called doubling. Not full auto and they have to pull the trigger twice but doesnt really make a difference when your head is gone lol
Mr. Miculek is the most unpretentious professional I’ve ever had the pleasure of learning from. When he says he’s still learning it clearly shows. Since watching him as a kid on American Shooter to watching him now on this platform, it has been a privilege learning from him. He is the reason I enjoy shooting.
This guy is all class. He calls it as it is, explains it in a humble way, and really demonstrates why it's correct. When it came to talking about his own products vs the factory grips, he only focused on the positives for both, not once does he suggest you spend any money on his brand. He is the meaning of genuine.
As Mike Myers said, I watched his videos on pistol shooting, grips, and techniques. Didn't realize how much I was doing wrong! When I got to the range, I went from shooting 3/5 hitting a 8 inch target at 21 feet ( CCW requirement for my state), to putting 18/20 in a 4 inch pattern. I shoot a Taurus Judge Public Defender...first shot I did my old way, last shot I tried the dual action...just not used to that yet. lol Anyway, my shooting improved immensely!!!! I recommend that anyone who is getting inconsistent results with their pistol to watch Jerry, listen, learn, apply.
Thanks for the revolver grip and stance tips....you just sold me on the isosceles, had preferred modified Weaver prior.....will be adding some of your tips to my handgun classes and pointing students to your videos as well...
Very, very informative. Simple is good, simple means less points of failure. Every starting revolver shooter should see this video and forget all the unnecessary things taught by various 'experts'.
All My Revolvers are S&W, my Favorites. Still have them ALL After ALL THESE YEARS. Been Watching YOUR VIDEOS for A FEW YEARS and ENJOY Them ALL. MANY THANKS FOR SHARING JERRY I was TRAINED on The Weaver Stance. But Now on Miculek
I review these videos over and over gleaning new insights and valuable advice from them. Four years ago, I didn't catch every thing you were teaching me, but I just want to say, that you are so right about repetition and incremental improvements. I am still in awe of your abilities. I am still thankful to you for your work in passing on what you have learned to us fellow shooting sports enthusiasts. By the way, I know you're are a great teacher by watching your wife and daughter shoot and win too. I love you all.
Revolvers -are- old by todays standards, not quite to the degree of comparing to a muzzleloader but they have been long eclipsed by automatic pistols nonetheless. Back in 1800s revolvers were the gun of the norm, these days their practicality is limited to just huge calibers and hunting.
Applying your technique has revolutionized my shooting. I had Brian Enos' book on Practical Shooting on my bookshelf for years. Now I am going to read it. I began police work in 1990. I changed my grip in stance in about 2012. Retired from Dallas Police I am now full time pastor and have pistol competition fellowships. Thank you for your amazing instruction. I will share it with many others.
This is fantastic. A world class shooter giving a 100% free shooting tutorial. Thanks Jerry! You are the greatest shooter and the best sportsman. Your attitude is the absolute best.
I love this series of videos Jerry. You put an awful lot of info in them. I have been at this a long time myself, and like you am trying new things in order to stay competitive. Thank you for taking the time to put this all together.
you know there is a saying that every great man is a library, jerry exemplifies this saying. i love this man and the way he explains everything is so clear. thanks jerry!!!!
Thank you so much for talking about the "Weaver" stance. I had a young instructor who had never seen the "Weaver" stance, and it really threw him for a loop.😅😂🤣 He thought I was NUTZ!
You know what would be perfect? A poster of Jerry pointing a gun directly at the camera. So when I look at the poster it looks like Jerry is pointing a gun at me.
4 Years on the USMC shooting team, shooting nothing but the 1911, I really needed this instruction for my first revolver, the Smith & Wesson Plus, 686. Thanks Jerry.
This is an amazing video. You've thought this out so well and put it into words so well, it's like you've founded your own martial art. And speaking of martial arts, while the Weaver stance is closer to martial arts stances, traditional martial arts generally are not centered on a gun. A knife or sword, or staff, yes. The power for those weapons, or for feet and fists, comes from the body. The power in a gun comes from an explosion of gunpowder. So the body is not needed to propel the bullet, best to get it out of the way of the shot. But it is still very much a Zen sport we have here, so body mechanics are still crucial to top performance. They're just very different than those for traditional martial arts. You're not throwing a kick, you're pointing a weapon.
19:30 for the self-defenders out there, if you want to be accurate with a pistol while moving, the solution is to hold the gun one-handed, and sideways at about a 45 degree angle. It works.
i shoot a j frame 642 and 442 (lock free) with hogue grips and this video makes my strong hand thumb hurt..i hyper extended my right thumb in a russia vs usa wrestling match (i won)..my job is pretty physical and my thumb hasnt had the time to heal correctly and it has impacted my shooting greatly..moral of the story take care of your fingers
Thanks, Jerry. This may be the single best video on revolver handling online. I've lost count of how many trainers and TH-cam videos still promote the Weaver stance , and how many semiauto trainers hold revolvers with the thumb extended into the cylinder gap.
this is a great video with great information. You should also record or put out short clips. I haven't fully watched the video but you have taught me a better and safer way to hold a revolver.
Jerry Miculek I have watched this video a hundred times it never gets old anytime you want to do a revolver video I will be watchin g you you are the best thank you me and my family got to hang out with you and the other shooters from the icore match of 2021 in September on your range at shoot out lane I will never forget keep shooting and keep teaching us thank you i hope you and Lena and Kay are doing well thank you
Wonderful video for education AND personal safety, Mr. Miculek. Ironically, I ‘Liked’ this video at the 3:57 mark without planning it! haha! Plus, right after taking delivery of my first .357 Magnum (Taurus Model 627 4” Tracker), a couple of days ago. Thank you for giving me so many excellent revolver shooting tips to use on my farm with my new .357 and my 20 year-old Taurus Model 85 .38 Special snubnose. You and Lena are spectacular assets to the shooting sports. Thanks for your generosity in sharing your collective knowledge. Blessings 😊
My mom just got a .38 revolver. J frame. And I was showing her how to hold it. I wasn't too familiar with the holding of a small framed revolver like that. So I guessed and told her to wrap her left thumb over and behind the right thumb. Then I go to this video and sure enough that's what he said to do. So I now feel confident that I'm knowledgeable enough to teach her how to shoot.
Well Idk how else to put it. Basically what Im saying is I made an educated guess about something and what I do know paid off. I am still learning about firearms but I also feel like I have a pretty good understanding of them.
Joshua Burton For sure, dude. Just make sure you make an educated guess and then research and make sure your info is correct before you give said advice to someone, you know? It's good that you're learning but if you accidentally take an educated guess and you're wrong, you could be putting someone else's safety at risk so just bare that in mind and make sure the advice you give is solid before you give it so you're not potentially giving dangerous advice to someone thinking it is good advice. Too many people take guessing and end up hurt you know! Just gotta make sure you handle a firearm safely and responsibly so no one ends up hurt!
+Joshua Burton (Scientific Spartan) You should still always do research! As many have stated in this comment section thus far; you never stop learning, and you can never learn too much. You do sound like you have common sense, which can never hurt. However there are some things that just aren't as intuitive as your example.
barahng Hell yeah. I'm always reading or watching something about firearms. Today I watched a video about rimfire vs centerfire. Lol. I've known about the difference for a long time but I like to hear what other people say about them. So I apply that to everything and BAM you get a well rounded idea about the subject. Now my mom carries a Glock 43 in a kydex holster. Couldn't be more proud of her. Haha.
Hi there, I’m Dennis and I’m a very proud owner of a new .44mag Ruger Super Red Hawk Hunter edition 7 1/2” barrel. I just bought it last month from collecting Bass Pro Shop gift cards over the years from family and friends. As a big gift From my wife this Christmas, she gave me a plain gift card and said I can pay for the remaining balance with cash. My gun cost me a whopping $1,019! I have shot over a 150 rounds already and I love it. I really enjoy hearing the different reviews by other owners. Your review was great. Thank you. BY THE WAY, YOU ARE AMAZING!
This is a dream come true! Jerry, I saw you on TV once, when you said to the camera: "Shoot a few hundred thousand rounds, and then come talk to me." At that point, I thought I'd never have an opportunity to get any tips from you. And then I found your channel. SUBSCRIBED!
Absoutely priceless, pure gold. Thank you Mr. Miculek for putting this up, it's a treasure-trove of information for those of us who are new to revolvers (and those of who aren't as well, I suspect). We're lucky to have someone like you who gives so much back to the community.
+Mansa Musa You missed the point entirely. I was speaking about his knowledge of firearms and how to use them. I was not talking about a fight. He looks a bit old for that anyway.
Great videos. There is a little bit of a distance between the two of you guys, but I think that you and Hickok45 should get together and do some videos. The two of you guys are who I get all my information from. If I am looking to buy a gun a go to his channel to see what he thinks of it and then I come to your channel to get the proper shooting techniques and try to apply them when I go to my local range. Thank you for passing your knowledge on.
I have been shooting revolvers for 45 years and learned more in 32 minutes to help me improve than I ever thought possible. I only have 111 videos more to watch or maybe instead go practice what I just learned.
I've watched this several times before. I just picked up my 686+ 6" about a week ago. Hoping to get out soon and shoot it. I also have a 6" GP100. Both super nice guns. I grew up shooting a S&W Model 19 Combat Magnum. That is the sweetest shooting pistol I have ever fired. I'm hoping my 686 comes close. I know I'll never shoot as good as you Jerry. But I appreciate your videos. I'd love to one day get to shoot with you in person. I know I would learn a ton... anyway thanks again for the videos.
I watch this on a regular basis to remind myself to keep going back to basics when I start shooting wrong. After too many years of poor muscle memory, this video makes it all good again. Thank you so much.
Jerry, I had the pleasure of see you and your wife at the Sportsman's Team Challenge while I was shooting with HiViz's Chris Q. I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed seeing you shoot. It was poetry in motion. Thanks for all you do in support of the sport that I love.
Also, just a thought but, if you could show us from the shooters perspective instead of from the spectators perspective. Maybe with a GoPro or google glass .
Thank you Jerry so very, very much for taking time to share your knowledge and expertise teaching everyone to be better shooters at whatever level we’re all at. Thank you!!
I'm just saying that- at least on my end- the camera can't translate the shot reports fast enough to handle his rate of fire; there seems to be a delay.
A video on aiming technique would be a very nice addition to this one and thank you very much for those instructive videos Jerry and your team. Thanks again.
Excellent information from undoubtedly one of the most proficient and humblest people in the sport as well as on the planet I've had the honor of sharing targets with. It was back in the days when I don't think Jerry even owned an auto-loader, but his love for the sport and willingness to share is unmatched. Thanks Jerry!
"Still learning"?! Jerry embodies two things perfectly (other than championship and expert) - sportsmanship and humility. What a guy

Yep totally sincere in each word he said.
Mhm. A true master never stops learning
The worst thing you can say to a humble person is that he is humble.
@@alvarohigino How very humble of you.
Not many competitors will tell you all of their "secrets" like this man. Tells you exactly what he does and dares you to beat him!
He’s already got success. Now he’d like to have competition.
Because what he has isn't something you can just learn from some secret techniques or tricks.
His skills are only attainable from decades of high quality training and not just out a shootin.
practice only makes perfect if you practice perfectly until it becomes muscle memory before you can start to improve to his level.

Too many people take guessing and end up hurt you know! Just gotta make sure you handle a firearm safely and responsibly so no one ends up hurt!
+Joshua Burton (Scientific Spartan) You should still always do research! As many have stated in this comment section thus far; you never stop learning, and you can never learn too much. You do sound like you have common sense, which can never hurt. However there are some things that just aren't as intuitive as your example.

Hell yeah. I'm always reading or watching something about firearms. Today I watched a video about rimfire vs centerfire. Lol. I've known about the difference for a long time but I like to hear what other people say about them. So I apply that to everything and BAM you get a well rounded idea about the subject.
Now my mom carries a Glock 43 in a kydex holster. Couldn't be more proud of her. Haha.
Hi there, I’m Dennis and I’m a very proud owner of a new .44mag Ruger Super Red Hawk Hunter edition 7 1/2” barrel. I just bought it last month from collecting Bass Pro Shop gift cards over the years from family and friends. As a big gift From my wife this Christmas, she gave me a plain gift card and said I can pay for the remaining balance with cash. My gun cost me a whopping $1,019! I have shot over a 150 rounds already and I love it. I really enjoy hearing the different reviews by other owners. Your review was great. Thank you. BY THE WAY, YOU ARE AMAZING!
Excellent advice! I enjoyed every minute of this video. I learned a lot about controlling recoil and stance. Thank you 🙏🏻
This is a dream come true! Jerry, I saw you on TV once, when you said to the camera: "Shoot a few hundred thousand rounds, and then come talk to me." At that point, I thought I'd never have an opportunity to get any tips from you. And then I found your channel. SUBSCRIBED!
I learned a lot in 5 minutes. Good video.
Great video, thanks Jerry for keeping it real, and helping out us "old" guys.
I use weaver stance only when shooting around cover left or right handed but when there is no cover I keep my feet square to the target.
He is the reason i’ve started taking interest in revolvers.
He throws bullets at the gun and they go in. Jesus.
Jerry is an abusive gun owner, everything knows to obey to his will
Ashton Aimes - positive training works better. The revolver and ammo want to please him, protect him and win records.
Absoutely priceless, pure gold. Thank you Mr. Miculek for putting this up, it's a treasure-trove of information for those of us who are new to revolvers (and those of who aren't as well, I suspect).
We're lucky to have someone like you who gives so much back to the community.
Anyone who argues with this man is just a fool.
+Tim Campbell Really? If the only way he can defend himself is with a gun - he's not much of a man. #NOTAFRAID
+Mansa Musa You missed the point entirely. I was speaking about his knowledge of firearms and how to use them. I was not talking about a fight. He looks a bit old for that anyway.
+Smiddy Wesson He looks older than 61, but his gun skills are close to perfect.
There's 61 year old marathon runners.
never argue with god of gun
I just bought a big .500 revolver and came here for tips. Jerry dropping knowledge already 3 mins in of things I never heard of
Well Jerry I've learned a lot from you!
Its Jerry's attitude is what makes him a winner
Muy bueno, me gustaria escucharlo en español o verlo subtitulado, desde ya gracias. !!
You sir have not only mastered the gun but altruism as well, for knowledge not shared is knowledge lost. Thank you for passing this on!
Great videos. There is a little bit of a distance between the two of you guys, but I think that you and Hickok45 should get together and do some videos. The two of you guys are who I get all my information from. If I am looking to buy a gun a go to his channel to see what he thinks of it and then I come to your channel to get the proper shooting techniques and try to apply them when I go to my local range. Thank you for passing your knowledge on.
I would legitimately pay for that crossover episode.
Thank you. I just bought my first revolver, and was looking for some tips. You went well above and beyond here.
Thanks so much for sharing! You have some huge paws there Jerry!
I’m not a competitor and have used a modified Weaver stance for 40 years. Looks like I need to step up to the ‘Miculek’ stance! Great video.
Dam that guy is cool
Have in the past been a pistol shooter, Colt or Browning. Am playing around now with a S&W 686, and a S&W 360 pd.
Thanks for all your help.
Jerry, thank you for this video it's helped me understand more of the reasons behind the Isosceles.
I have been shooting revolvers for 45 years and learned more in 32 minutes to help me improve than I ever thought possible. I only have 111 videos more to watch or maybe instead go practice what I just learned.
By the time i get my first shot off, Jerry is holstering his weapon.
I've watched this several times before. I just picked up my 686+ 6" about a week ago. Hoping to get out soon and shoot it. I also have a 6" GP100. Both super nice guns. I grew up shooting a S&W Model 19 Combat Magnum. That is the sweetest shooting pistol I have ever fired. I'm hoping my 686 comes close.
I know I'll never shoot as good as you Jerry. But I appreciate your videos. I'd love to one day get to shoot with you in person. I know I would learn a ton... anyway thanks again for the videos.
Thanks for the great lesson!!

I watch this on a regular basis to remind myself to keep going back to basics when I start shooting wrong. After too many years of poor muscle memory, this video makes it all good again. Thank you so much.
9:58 "now my thumb is dead so I don't really care" I'm in tears laughing
Mr. Jerry, you have an awesome youtube channel. I learn something every time I watch one of your videos.
this guy must have been practicing that shoot & reload in his mother's amniotic sac
Jerry, I had the pleasure of see you and your wife at the Sportsman's Team Challenge while I was shooting with HiViz's Chris Q. I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed seeing you shoot. It was poetry in motion. Thanks for all you do in support of the sport that I love.
your the best shooter I have ever seen
To get so much incredible information FOR FREE is amazing.
Also, just a thought but, if you could show us from the shooters perspective instead of from the spectators perspective. Maybe with a GoPro or google glass .
Thank you Jerry so very, very much for taking time to share your knowledge and expertise teaching everyone to be better shooters at whatever level we’re all at. Thank you!!
The audio can't catch up...
Im watching him speak. Audio seems right on...
Talking about shot reports.
unlitdarkness6 you don't socialize much do you?
Daniel Allison No im Just not sure I understand his cryptic answer.
I'm just saying that- at least on my end- the camera can't translate the shot reports fast enough to handle his rate of fire; there seems to be a delay.
I've long liked Jerry's instructional videos. Thanks Jerry!
Thanks for the expert knowledge sir. It's like Tom Brady telling all the secrets on being a quarterback. Awesome.
A video on aiming technique would be a very nice addition to this one and thank you very much for those instructive videos Jerry and your team. Thanks again.
how come this man is so much cooler than I'll ever be
Won Honglo heh
h it's not hard...
Lots and Lots of Practice.
Excellent information from undoubtedly one of the most proficient and humblest people in the sport as well as on the planet I've had the honor of sharing targets with. It was back in the days when I don't think Jerry even owned an auto-loader, but his love for the sport and willingness to share is unmatched. Thanks Jerry!
