I made this comment on the other video, the whole “your perception while shooting, if target focused, is you’re shoot bad” has fucked my world up (in a good way). It’s given me the confirmation my target focus is on the correct path.
Ben,, I have been following your videos and using them to improve my speed and accuracy and have appreciated very much you direct approach I have a question, regarding equipment: I have been using Glocks for about five years and have improved consistently. I have appreciated their reliability, their simplicity, etc.. I recently purchased two Atlas 2011’s. While they are great pistols, I have found the platform to be obviously more finicky with slide lock back, magazine’s inconsistency etc… In your opinion, are the small improvements with a more finicky platform worth it? I know it’s a personal call, but I’m about ready to sell both my Atlas 2011’s to avoid the aggravation of interrupted range sessions. Just thought I’d ask you your thoughts. I am not a collector of guns so I lean towards getting very good with something and not worrying about getting a million other things to try. I know the answer is quite obvious but thought I might get your thoughts or something I’m not seeing. Is this what 2011s are like?
Moving from a pistol with no external controls (what I like) to a 2011 platform is a big change. Maybe a small bump will leave you smiling. But what is the effort-to-gain ratio? Even if you ditch the grip safety, that thumb safety=big changes. Weight and triggers are also pieces of this puzzle. Im curious to see if Ben responds--he likes both of these platforms. But his skill level is quite another issue altogether.
Hi Ben. I recently watched your video on floating thumbs and it blew my mind since I have heard so many times that maximizing contact on the gun, including thumbs, is necessary. I did notice my palms clamped more closely on the handle once I stopped worrying about my thumbs. Is this good?
Yes. Which is more contact surface and strength, your thumb or your whole palm? If using your thumb is compromising your grip with your palm, that’s a bad deal.

I remember this drill. I actually got a compliment from Ben on it. He crushed my soul on the drill that followed so the high was short lived.
Smooth movement

@@tonyg8471 I would really appreciate Ben’s input for sure 👍

In and out with less barrels?
