Lock the wrists!
Added 2020-04-10 04:48:25 +0000 UTCPreview from the pistol fundamentals series that's currently in production. Locking the wrists helps stay on target during rapid fire strings.
New video uploading tonight and more in production.
Keep those comments coming and I'll make more video responses. I've had a really good time so far engaging with this community.
I hope you are all safe and in good health!

2020-07-18 01:51:10 +0000 UTCShould a shooter also lock their elbows for consistency? I am novice to shooting just wondering.

2020-04-15 11:30:41 +0000 UTCThere are some people who shoot that way very quickly and accurately but this grip is how I was trained. To me, any movement in that support hand index finger if placed on the front of the trigger guard can drastically throw a shot, especially under stress.

2020-04-12 14:38:50 +0000 UTCIs there a specific reason wrapping your support hand index finger around the front of the trigger guard isn't a good idea? Feels more comfortable to me. -shrug-

Seems more revealing in terms of being able to pick up any issues on grip, trigger press etc. The muzzle rise seems more exaggerated too in slow motion; as it happens so fast in real time. Have you ever measured the muzzle rise for the pistol and ammo combo that you are running? I'm curious to determine what micro changes in grip (the entire set up) one can tweak that further minimizes muzzle rise? A slow motion demonstration would be helpful.
