Revolver Grip

[cve70]

Move your rear sight in the direction you want the bullet to go.

[sillybilly44444444]

Why not just hold it in one hand?

Skip to 0:42 to miss all the bullshit at the start.

Hello,I have a S&W 629 .44mag with 6" barrel,my sights are as far right as they can be adjusted yet i'm still hitting a few inches to the left.What am I doing wrong?

[b0mb3r315]

@ninjatoth EXACTLY my problem only with a 357

[saw386]

I just shoot revolvers like a pistol

[FoodCubes]

The flame only comes out of the front of the cylinder? I told straight thumbs was ok with a revolver I was recently shooting... I think the front of the cylinder was too far for my thumb to be burned. But on a a shorter gun I think I will have to be more careful.

[werre2]

@FoodCubes depends on the revolver! I have once kept a finger too far. It stinged a lot! But skin was intact, thanks to the revolver being a .22LR. You can imagine what it's like with a bigger revolver. Even an old magnum caliber (357/44) will cut a carrot in half...

[streamfisher1]

all those goofy nutnfancy freaks need to watch this guy if they really want to learn something! just my opinion.

[mhajwel]

how about leaving the left's hand thumb upwards to do an approx 90 degree by the barrel ?? so that after each shoot that thumb pulls the hummer back?! hope that was clear ,,thanks for the vid coach

[closetpunk2006]

Thanks for the vid. Here's my problem though - the higher and nearer my grip is to the centerline of the barrel, the less natural it is to get my trigger finger into the trigger guard. I always have to kind of force it in there - with autos too. Makes me want to reposition to a lower point on the grip. Suggestions anyone? I've had this problem for years and years.

[ussseaw0lf]

@closetpunk2006 Honestly, don't change grips or stances if you've been shooting for years. The more comfortable you are when you're shooting, the more you can focus all your attention on the sight picture and less on you new stance/grip.

If you want to put the time in the learn a new stance/grip that's fine, but typically an old shooter will be worse the first couple thousand rounds.

For what it's worth I'm not an instructor or a competition shooter.  I am in the Navy and in Iraq now though.

[werre2]

@closetpunk2006 Time to relearn. It will pay off.

I actually broke my strong arm a couple of years back and it was PAIN to bend it, so I decided to learn out of some of old bad habits at the same time. I practiced with airsoft replicas of my real guns... weight and balance were all wrong but grip dimensions were identical and it helped the healing process.

[pugostotal]

oops i missed the safety rules, what are those?

[lvcsslacker]

@pugostotal

1. Always treat the gun like it's loaded

2. never point it at soemthing you're willing to destory

3. keep your finger off the trigger until you're aiming at your target and ready to shoot.

4. be sure of your target.

[sbd45acp]

4. Be sure of your target AND WHAT IS BEYOND. I am certain of my target , I am certain my projectile will hit it, I am certain that if for what ever reason I miss or my projectile passes through my target there is little or no danger to what is behind it. This criteria will change based on target density, and penetrating power of your projectile(s) and the ability of the backstop or area behind your intended target to stop your projectiles.

[runescape44411]

@lvcsslacker good job you nailed it

[DDayDragon]

Because speed shooting involves focus on being able to quickly re-acquire a target after the previous shot is taken, and to reload is the shortest time, as well. What this video is showing is focused on stability and accuracy for an afternoon at the range, if you hunt with a pistol (which people do), or general self defense easy-to-learn grip style. Two very different ways to grip a firearm, for two very different results. A lot of rounds on a watermelon or one round on a dime.

[vileone1974]

i have a small framed kel-tec auto.and im often pinched buy the slide.any suggestions?

[HardcoreKeith]

Don't cross your left thumb over. Both thumbs pointing forward.

[raptoromilda]

thanks man

[bigloudpoop]

im liking the music

[sonnydukes]

mr shooting coach, can you post more stuff on here for combat revolver techniques??

[tajash13]

reloading a revolver is the best. What a rush!!!

[snapcane]

Great video horrible music. LOL

[sasa320]

Dear Mr. Shooting coatch

Thankx a lot for ur presious videos.

Best regards with respect.

[Magnageek]

Just a quick question on revolver grip, Coach: I've seen some folks (assume a right-handed shooter) wrap their left thumb behind the right thumb and over to the right side for support. Of course, on an autoloader, this would give you a severe slide bite. I hope I explained that clearly, and would appreciate your comments on this technique.

[shootingcoach]

It's not a very effective or efficient grip.

[Aircraftkiller]

Seconded.

[MrJaperalta]

@Magnageek Correto! Existe a empunhadura pra revolver e empunhadura pra pistolas! São categorias diferentes...

Assista meu vídeo de tiro tático em MrJaperalta.

Abraço!

I've read stories about how people shooting .50 caliber revolvers have seriously injured their thumbs by allowing their fingers to be on the cylinder gap. Lots of gas escapes there as it propels that half-inch bullet.

[m1garand1959]

mrfamous-the cylinder on the 500s&w is so long I cant really see how a normal grip would get ones thumb near the barrel cylinder gap.The picture of the thumb tip severed by the 460 was held in a manner like a rifle would be held.The guy actually wrapted his weak hand around the barrel at the cylinder gap.

[mrfamous333]

Indeed, it was probably an abnormal grip that caused the injury.

[GUNSFOREVER1]

Hey i have the same cabinet as you

[Digadogup]

lol a random comment its cool made me laugh

[ArmedZagi]

Must be a pretty common one.. have one in my garage as well. lol

[GUNSFOREVER1]

Yup i have one in my laundry room

[nickpostoloff]

Just got a revolver, and never thought about the gasses. Excellent point. I'm sure I would have found out the hard way if I had not watched your video. Awesome!

[spr822]

Could you also cross your thumbs?? At the back behind the hammer.Just asking??

[shootingcoach]

Not and maintain a neutral grip. A neutral grip and stance are what allow you to shoot faster. Gripping in that fashion offers no advantage and is in fact counterproductive.

[madpelletgunner]

are revolvers uncomfortable to hold compaired to pistols? im used to holding a pistol but would like to purchase a revolver... will it just annoy me? is it easy to get used to?

thanks a bunch!

[m1garand1959]

Congratulations on being the first on youtube to teach somthing other than the thumb wrapping around thumb nonsence.I,ve been using a similar grip to your,s for 20+ yrs winning matches,being told I'm wrong for the last few yrs,because thumb has to pen thumb bunk.

[rabidwolverine007]

you are the man

[aluisious]

I have short thumbs, so this has never been an issue I had to think about.

[plasticslap]

it should say warning, using firearms can be ADDICTING! great vids man!

[jonsairsoft]

I know i shot my first time and the revolver i shot was a colt 1917 .45 colt and it was addictiong power in my hands. kinda freaky but its a energy drowner lol.

[Seif5034]

thank you

[ladynikon]

very nice

[gfreeman556]

Thanks!

[PK3DNow]

Excellent video once again. Saved it to my playlist to show a friend who has just purchased a revolver, I'm sure this will help him greatly.
