glocks are just awsome...ive been watching many torture test's and the guy who burried his 21 for saposedly 2 yrs....enough time for grass to grow..but anyways he ran 500 rounds with it packed 2 years of dirt in it...only washed it off with water and ran 500 rounds...like 2 misfired...awsomeee...good vids, i subbed
@AngeredKabar They sure do go a long way in eliminating any anxiety over where your muzzle is pointed during dryfire practice. Especially if you're accustomed to carrying a "hot" Glock on your hip (the ammo, of which, isn't even in the same part of the house when practicing, of course).
@CJUS511TAC That's how I used to shoot and reading guys like Brian Enos and Rob Leatham changed my mind. I do like the dry-fire with the dime idea.
The focus on the front sight advice is something I started a quarter century ago. I must come across as a rank beginner, haha. Always willing to listen to any and all advice; like to keep an open mind and always be experimenting.
PUT THUMBS LOWER, HAVE THEM SIT JUST BELOW THE SLIDE, BUT IN LINE AND POINTING AT YOUR TARGET AS YOU HAVE THEM NOW......IM SURPRISED YOU DONT GET NICKED BY THE SLIDE WHEN IT CYCLES.....ALWAYS FUN TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOS.......PEACE.
@BIGAL1214 Sounds good, and just for the record, I do get chewed up on my the web of my strong hand on occasion. That's a good indication that I'm being a tad too greedy nuzzling my bore axis down deep.
Double tap/Rapid fire is separate skill. It's how fast you can re-acquire target plus muscle memory. You can learn to hold and fire repeatedly in the same spot without aim - a skill that will take me a long time to acquire but the best western shooters seem to master over time. I'm jealous. :-)
Practice lots of target acquisition by dryfiring in the house.
Also - let the gun recoil, don't fight it. But feel your way back to "home" the point of aim where you hit the bullseye.
@GNOSOPHER Sounds real good, thanks. Maybe all of us internet shooters will start winning more shooting matches if we share our gun handling secrets.
Double taps are something I gave up on a long time ago, I see so many people blow their run in competition when they try this and don't "see" every shot off. That is, for targets beyond about three yards.
Make sure you keep your Trigger under control and go to the reset rather than letting your finger go and having to press the trigger all the way back again. I noticed that you don't shoot to trigger reset and this will not only improve your quick shots but in a Glock it can save your life. A Glock can fire without a trigger spring as long as you go to trigger reset after the shot. This is by design and it's the only handgun that does it.
@ProxStud It's a problem that keeps coming back. I see it all the time in videos when I'm trying to shoot fast I tend to bounce my finger too much. I'll work on that, thanks.
Broke a trigger spring on my old second-Gen Glock 19 (former LE gun) and it would only fire successive shots if I would get behind the trigger and force it forward to reset.
@theKGB65 If your trigger spring breaks and you don't go to trigger reset, you can simply rack the slide, shoot and if you go to trigger reset from that point forward, it will keep shooting. You can always recover from letting the trigger go all the way forward by racking the slide. I had to develop the habit for trigger reset and lot's of dry fire helps. I am human, so sometimes I let it slip forward all the way too.
@theKGB65 Try it. It's by design. In the Glock Armorer class, we all took the trigger spring off and tested the ability of shooting after a trigger reset. Very cool. All Glock's since 2004 are made in the USA and you will see "USA" on Glocks starting in 2012. The slide was made flat and square to sharpen knives in the field due to the Nitration in the metal or Tennifer. We learned lots of cool things.
Just an observation, the shots that weren't hits were when your inhaling. Remember exhale, and squeeze. When shooting rapid exhale constantly. Hope it helps.
@oFROGxMANo I'll have to remember to work on breathing next time out, it's one area where I need more awareness. Thanks for the input, not too many shooters would recognize that important detail.
I LIKE! I purchased my first flock ever today. It's a g23 3rd gen 40 cal. This video makes me want it even faster now.. Gotta wait 10 days California law
@thahchad1987 Oh, man, I can totally relate to what you're feeling right now. Wouldn't it be nice if we could actually enjoy what we own on the day we buy it!
u gata think bout how your wrists work and how the recoil force will roll your hands on there natural path of movement, get it right and both hands roll the same and to the center for that perfect staight rise
May I ask why you don't let your thumbs touch the frame? The further forward on the gun you can touch, the better, for mitigating recoil.
Also, it'll help with consistency to keep your arms all the way out, rigidly. If you don't, recoil follows the path of least resistance, instead of being mitigated. A good practice is to extend your elbows until they hurt, and then back off until they don't, and train for that position.
@Grubbernaut The goal is to keep trying different things while observing the results; right now it's the Brian Enos method. Last season I was locking my support thumb into the junction of the trigger guard and the frame while using a 60/40 death grip. B.E. says to keep that thumb off and let the gun recoil; don;t fight it, stay relaxed, and let it return consistently. So I'm trying that right now, even though it goes against my habit. Arms are in my relaxed position with minimal extension.
That was pretty "flakey." :-) Hey, you cut the lights out on me coming up the stairs before I was ready; I just about broke my neck on those boots and things you left on the stairs. :-)
Have you ever tried putting your left index finger over the trigger guard? I never used to, but a friend of mine got me to try it, it was alittle awkward at first but now I do it without even thinking...its just allitle bit more control, alittle higher up the pistol...Just a thought...Thanks for the vid!
@locknloadvideo I have experimented with it, and one of the guys I shoot with does very well with that technique, but it always seems to jump around or slide off the trigger guard for me. Also, the first two fingers and the thumb provide almost all of the hand's gripping force so I don't like to separate the index and middle finger on the support hand like that. Thanks for your input, I like these discussions.
As someone new to shooting, everything from stance, grip to ammo is an unfolding mystery. It does help to get see the perspective from an experienced shooter and how you approach experimenting with a different technique. I will give this 'New Way' to hold and see if I can morph it into something which works for me. Merry Christmas to you and yours and wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year.
@Gabay54 That sounds real good, and I am having the best kind of Christmas Eve, just got back from visiting family and now I'm talking with my shooting friends here on YouTube. Keep me posted on your findings. According to the experts, the experimenting never ends and that's what makes this sport so interesting.
Loving the yellow barrel, and the shades are badass! Nice "Snow Glock" at 6:35. Great overall demonstration of cold weather shooting and tips for beginners and the so-called YouTube experts. You have also convinced me to reconsider my position on rabbit turds and their place in the shooting sports.

@tnoutdoors9 Thank you for your kind and ALWAYS hilarious support! That's one of my Kydex safety barrels for dry-fire practice indoors and the glasses are uvex safety plastic for the peepers.

Are rabbit turds hard to reload? LOL! Interesting vid. I have a very difficult time shooting in the cold. You do very well. Thanks for the vid! Merry Christmas.

I own Sigs, but here u go:
I hold firm with support hand, gently with strong hand.
Make as much contact with the frame using support hand.
Contact frame solidly with support thumb, both thumbs pointing same direction.
Trigger centered on pad of index finger. Don't jerk trigger, make a smooth even pull back.
Hold trigger after shot, reset only when ready to fire again. Repeat smooth trigger pull.
Dry fire holds sight, should work for actual shot. Flinch is anticipatory response, is avoidable.
