I have a question about handgun grip. I was watching some youtube

The one way I can make it work with the 45 degree angle is if I don't worry about filling the gap and my support hand just ends up mostly squeezing my fingers. If I want to "fill the gap" then I need to lighten the angle on my wrist so it's not pointed downward as much.

The gun I'm using is a glock 19 (pic related) I might even look into getting a different gun, this thing aint that comfortable, but there have been times where I've been able to shoot bullseyes with it, so it's not the gun itself, it's me.

Hold it sideways so the recoil advances the gun to the next threat.

weebs get out

stretch your arms out more

Elbow and shoulder being locked are more important than wrists, thumbs should do nothing, better if you cut them off.

OP here. I decided to set my camera to go off in 3 seconds and point my gun as naturally as possible. This is what It looks like.

>>32922425
I watched it. He pretty much says you should only shoot isosceles. I don't like isosceles .

>>32922450
He gives a lot of other good advice too. Hopefully you took something useful from it, I don't really like isosceles either. I shoot better using the same stance as hickok45.

There's a reason he says this.

are both correct, the cranked support hand grip only works with an extended isosceles grip because you don't drop your support elbow like you do with weaver.

Yeah I watched the video and I get his reasoning but a fighting stance makes more sense to me as it's what I naturally go into when something intense happens anyway

>>32922450
Weaver is superior if you're not getting shot at. You should practice it

>>32923052
but a square stance is a fighting stance. Those of us who are actually fighting wear plates, which should stand square with the enemy. Anyways, square stance is a more mobile stance as well.

Nothing prevents you from taking a fighting 'agile' stance with your legs while keeping your torso and shoulders square and your arms extended. You have this thing called a waist, you know, which allows your torso/shoulders and hips to face different directions.

The shoulder width apart parallel foot placement portion of a 'textbook' isosceles stance is for efficient panning through multiple targets with minimal wasted movement. This is completely isolated and irrelevant to the zero mental effort passive recoil control benefits gained by extending the arms and camming the elbows out, which can be applied to any foot stance.

Now if you're shooting from cover and need to stay close to it, or shooting from retention, then obviously arms fully extended probably won't work out and you'll just have to do what you need to (probably weaver/modified weaver).

OP. Watch Jerry Miculek. Do what he says. He knows his shit. Ignore the rest.

>>32923076
Weaver is what I practice

>>32922268
>that pignose though

Bullseye stance or fuck off.

OP your image is wrong but close. Roll your weak hand even further forward, and dig the heel into the grip like you were digging for gold. YES you will feel strain. But you will never shoot faster and more accurately than like that. Your thumb, forearm, and slide should all be on and form one straight line.

Also we have a name for weaver shooters. "Last place."
Shoot isosclese. Weaver is for tactifags playing operator. Isosclese posts times.

sounds like you need to masturbate more and strengthen that wrist

You guys ought to listen to Jerry on Weaver vs isoceles

>>32923625
Back in the corp we had a name for usosoles shooters:dead guys. When the bullets start flying no sane person spreads their legs all like "go ahead and hit muh plate carrier. It's high noon patnah!" No, you make yourself a smaller target and try not to get hit. And I don't give a fuck what some whack a mole shooter says

Not taking Jerry's advice on shooting is akin to having a doctor say "we really need to treat that" and gaffing him off while saying "what does he know"

Get back to me when it matters. If you're in a situation that you're taking return fire or wearing plates you should have a goddamn rifle. In sport shooting or defensive shooting your #1 goddamn priority is shooting before the other guy ever does.
