How to grip a pistol

Folks need to realize "they are" the weak link when it comes to how their pistol shoots, vs. complaining it's the pistol shooting poorly.

That’s a good point. I like good “equipment” but I have shot bone stock or off the shelf firearms that will shoot lights out. It’s more than just the pistol or rifle as, we know most will shoot more accurate than us. If you take these techniques and methods and apply them to your training it will help you become a better shot. (Not directed at you Tayln) just piggybacking on your post.
 
Agreed. Folks need to select a pistol that feels very good for them vs. just because they're of a certain brand.

I have a couple of pistols that don't fit me as well as others, and those that don;t are more fun pistols than the ones that do which are my carry pistols.
 
Good video. Interesting how high he brings the pistol up on his draw. I guess there’s two schools of thought: bring up high and push straight out vs bring up at chest level then push up and out simultaneously.

That gap along the frame is very important. I find that most students kinda struggle with it. I always teach that the grip size determines the gap and the gap determines where the pad of trigger finger falls.

For example, one of my guns has a grip that is almost too big for me. Because of the grip size, there is no gap between my finger and the frame, however, my trigger finger falls perfectly dead center on the trigger face despite having no visible gap. It is the gun that I’m most accurate with.
