    Griping your handgun correctly is very important if you want to shoot fast and be accurate at the same time. One of the common questions shooters ask is "Why I am hitting left" (we are addressing right-handed shooters). Just one remark, not down left, leveled hit but left from the desired area of the target. The most common error is because by relaxing the shooting hand in order to manipulate the trigger faster, many shooters relax the counter tension of the shooting hand while the control (support) hand still applies that same counter tension in the opposite direction. That will drive the gun out of the center (to the left - if you are a right-handed shooter).

      Agreed- that’s the grip I want but 35 years of typing and skinny wrists/forearms keep me from being able to lock in like that
      I’d love it if I could though as that’s grip and recoil management perfection

    2:27 counter tension is what helped me stop pulling shots. This is the first video I’ve seen that teaches it. I learned it by dry firing a lot with a laser dot at home and keeping the dot in place. My body figured out the counter tension element. But there’s no recoil dry firing naturally.

    • @TacticalPerformanceCenter

      Yes, it is important to maintain this counter tension symmetrical with both hands! That will keep the gun centered.

    I once took a DHD dynamics handgun discipline class
    the instructor was someone from the federal police
    his advice was, never apply pressure with the little finger
    I have to admit it helps,
    good video

    • @TacticalPerformanceCenter
      @TacticalPerformanceCenter  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We believe that applying more pressure with the pinkie and ring fingers while slightly relaxing the middle finger will improve trigger finger isolation.

    • @TacticalPerformanceCenter
      @TacticalPerformanceCenter  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      This approach also helps achieve a firmer grip, as the pinkie and ring fingers are essential for a strong hold-similar to the grip used in Judo.

    • @TacticalPerformanceCenter
      @TacticalPerformanceCenter  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Generally, nothing changes! Most likely there will be less griping surface but that can be compensated by the application of more pressure to create more friction. All the principles stay the same!

    Being left eye dominant instead of turning my head I shifted the pistol slightly in my Grip in your opinion is that a poor decision or just another way to get the same effect?

    • @TacticalPerformanceCenter
      @TacticalPerformanceCenter  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      If you adjust the grip to your dominant eye, do not change the position of the gun in your hands but do it from the wrists! We will suggest using a combination of both - turn the head just slightly and position the gun in front of your dominant eye using a slight readjustment from the wrists. In that case, corrections are minor and are not going to affect the skeletal alignment.

    Is the thumb of the support hand also pressing firmly ? Or do you just point it forward - barely touching the side?

    • @TacticalPerformanceCenter
      @TacticalPerformanceCenter  ปีที่แล้ว

      There are two technique variations. Some great shooters are pushing with the thumb against the frame and some simply index it without applying any pressure. The important point is to apply solid pressure with the base (the meaty portion of the palm, just at the base of the thumb. That's the opponens pollicis muscles. Find what is most comfortable for you but pay attention not to affect the sigh alignment if you decide to use the thumb as an additional friction point ☝🏻

    Hello Sir, do you prefer a finger over the trigger guard or below?

    • @TacticalPerformanceCenter
      @TacticalPerformanceCenter  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Both techniques are efficient. You need to be aware when using your finger over the trigger guard to wrap the medial phalange on the front of the trigger guard and to apply pressure straight back.

    • @TacticalPerformanceCenter
      @TacticalPerformanceCenter  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It is what it is. Sometimes hand size or the size of the grip of the gun do not match. It's better to be able to align the gun as is explained in the video but also we need to learn how to adapt. It's not optimal in reference with recoil control but we are glad you can make it work 👍🏻 At the end if you apply the principles of the fire control triangle, all will be good. ☝🏻

    What about cross eye dominance? Gun in the center I can’t see the dot, unless I tilt my head.
    Any suggestions?

    • @TacticalPerformanceCenter
      @TacticalPerformanceCenter  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The best solution is to move the gun just slightly towards the dominant eye and turn the head just a bit so the dominant eye will be a bit closer to the gun. Like that, you neither 'sacrifice' skeletal alignment much nor affect the vision (the best visual acuity is when the eyes look straight forward).

    In the beginning when you ran with your hand was wagging and the gun facing the ground I think this is un acceptable
    Was there a reason for this willing to listen

    • @TacticalPerformanceCenter
      @TacticalPerformanceCenter  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Depends on the situation. Obviously, avoid flagging anyone not willing to engage. On the other hand, moving the hands is very important for fast sprints (simple biomechanics). This particular technique is widely used in practical competition shooting for more efficient movement. In real situations also can be used depending on the environment. In any case, muzzle awareness is critical! There is one rule - keep the gun pointing in a safe direction. In some tactical scenarios, you can anchor the shooting hand close to the body to avoid wagging if it's necessary.

      If you learn to do it perfectly in a "sterile" environment don't you think it will be much easier to adapt in dynamic conditions with external distractions? Learn to walk first, before starting sprinting. Learning biomechanical efficiency principles will help you succeed with less in the future. ...we hope you understand the idea.
