Pistol Shooting Stances : Learn the Stability Techniques for Shooting a Pistol

[marvothegreat]

when people start dying is when they dont know the whole internal. and then start squeezing triggers.

[marcmontez1]

good info, it would be great if the videos were numbered so i could watch them in the intended order

[TheDubDoubt]

heres a much better vid... /watch?v=ysa50-plo48

[Ninety9Soulz]

lol, the rare occurance of an expertvillage video with good advice

[TerminatorDIPSI]

lol is this where gangsters learn to shoot??

[bwoyc]

@TerminatorDIPSI racist much?

[XxGLOCK45CALxX]

maybe you mentioned it in another video...what model glock is that?

[TModdz]

0:57 He's flexing not pulling his hand back ;)

[sawyerbobby]

now do the C.A.R. system

[Jxtreeme1]

Nice video thats why is always better to shoot on reactive positions better than offensive posittions most civilians use their weapons as self defense tools not as offensive tools. Nice video Sir!!!!

[pigoutultra]

he keeps saying "dat" instead of that XD

[joezbackwith2gatz]

Great video sir... Thanks for taking the time to make it... It's like I always say... Let's all learn from each other... Joe Tactical

[Darthwannabe]

he would have a glock.... lol jk he's better at shooting than i am

[joezbackwith2gatz]

@Darthwannabe I also have a Glock...lol

[TheOshcar]

i started out watching "the halo kid video" now im on gun mechanics and techniques damn you youtube for wasting my time!

[jackclark1981]

i am a disabled american that has to use a cane to walk with. I bought a firearm 8 days ago and am waiting to pick it up from the dealer. i have to kneel to shoot with 2 hands or use my left hand, im right hand dominate, to shoot single handed. any tips that you can give will be helpful.

[m4gunner25]

@jackclark1981 I know this isnt a surprise..but, just practice. and practice. and practice some more! find what is physically comfortable to you, and then master that stance/hold. there is,in my qualified opinion,no WRONG way to shoot. with few exceptions: handling the weapon system safely, to yourself and others.keeping thumbs/palms clear of a moving slide/bolt. do those things, then second comes shooter comfort.then practice at what is your most stable/comfy stance. email me if you need help.

[hydramiga]

he's black

[usageee]

@hydramiga I'm impressed with your powers of observation. Bravo!

[TaZ101SAGA]

Good video

[DoNotObey1]

In fact shooting with one hand is better dependable of the situation. You cannot succesfully hide and fire with both hands if hiding behind the corner. Also one hand grip gives you much faster movement from one target to another. It may be less accurate but it's much faster.

[dLimboStick]

Seems to me that shooting with one hand would be a last resort, probably because your arm was incapacitated, so why would you train to tense your non firing arm? If you are capable of tensing your arm, then you're probably capable of using that hand for support of the weapon.

[D00M696]

that's right! we don't all shoot sideways XD

[blindwit]

Very awesome video... I wonder if the tensing up also trains you to be able to shoot should your other arm be injured (i.e. clung to the body forcefully because of the injury).

[joezbackwith2gatz]

@blindwit I was thinking the same thing...

[counterfitt1]

hey look it's the villages first expert...........good for you guys!

[barstoolguru]

it might work for the brothers in the getto but NO ONE teachs that and I do mean NO ONE and his 60/40 stance has holes in it too.

[lolcatofawsumd]

one problem, this is a revolver technique. semi automatic pistols need recoil to funtion properly so twisting the elbow or rist "canting" can take away from rcoil causing higher powered semi automatic handguns to not properly cycle a round (such as a desert eagle or a 1911 type) this can cause jamming. though a perfect technique for a non recoil operated hand gun such as a revolver but not recomended for a semi. nice to see an expert village not featuring retards

[zackf224]

Canting the firearm helps with recoil management which in turn keeps/brings the sights back on target for quicker follow on shots. It doesnt make the firing position more stable for single shots...

[juggernaut762]

navy shoots sideways when they swim GLOCK!!

[redparrot99]

godbless this man, he saved expert villages life

[John234pwns]

This is the right time to alter your stance so you're facing the target with your torso at an angle. Less exposed, more recoil absorbed.

[BuRgEoNyT1]

Great tips Teal'c, can you do a staff weapon vid next?

[Chyno1012]

black bj penn!

[jeamezybombastic]

has anyone noticed at 1:53 he goes to holster the pistol in a holster that isnt there

[GehennaSlumberParty]

Your getting the firearms instructor view here, the most important rule about firearms is to treat them all as if they are loaded, regardless if you have unloaded it and have the action open , the mentality you should have is that it's still loaded. This instills a certain level of discipline when dealing with firearms making sure you never forget their only purpose is to take a life... Not a paper weight or anything else..

[redsoxandpats]

Mike Singletary can shoot?

[GehennaSlumberParty]

Lmfao there is NO SUCH THING as a " clear safe weapon" that's the golden rule of firearms, treat every firearm as if it's loaded. This guy is going to get someone killed.

[s197stangdragger]

@GehennaSlumberParty not with a gun that he knows is clear and safe and has never left his hand after he checked it. Empty guns are nothing more than paper weights. If you want to comment on something, comment on the guys lack of hair and how it reflects light into the camera lens ;)

[Dalenn177]

Disagreed, a weapon is never a paperweight. Always treat a weapon as if its loaded; regardless of safety checking/whether it left your hand or not. Attitudes like this are what get people killed when messing with weapons.

[s197stangdragger]

@Dalenn177 yes I understand what you are saying but If the gun has been cleared and has NEVER left my hand after I just cleared it, its not going to magically have a bullet in it. Its just not possible. Granted Im not going to go around playing with it and shooting it at people or anything but still sometimes you gotta have a little common sense to go with your rhetoric.

[Xanifur]

@Dalenn177 A weapon can be a paperweight, but that is not their intention. Check your weapons, and keep them locked up. I think that that is what you were trying to say. Be responsible.

[Wafflepudding]

@Dalenn177 I'd like to see how you try to dissasemble one if you always treat them as loaded.

[loganbass10]

@s197stangdragger Actually you can still pistol whip people

[dsexton1055]

@s197stangdragger His comment was based on a standard of repetition. If you always treat a gun as loaded with no exceptions then you minimize the risk of accidentally working with a loaded gun. A minor distraction could cause the handler to miss checking his/her weapon. That introduces an unstable element that can cost lives. I know and believe this not only because of my years of weapons handling (not that you are inexperienced) but because of an accidental discharge because of that mentality.

[tinman1102]

LL cool J is that you?

[LUCKY7189]

WoW......I just wish everybody can learn how to handle a firearm ,instead of arguing like a bunch of girls on youtube.......listen up people you don't know everything,if anything,argue eleswhere

[ELITEHAMSTER123]

@LUCKY7189 Thats the one thing i hate about our shooting sports community. Everyone does everything differently. Give your advice and let it go. You learn more when you listen

[codwell4life]

or, raise it up and do some barrel sniping

[bananasofthesea]

lol hes black and hes shooting like a gangster

[bananasofthesea]

f5 to skip ads

[boblasingame]

The story I have been told is that the Mauser machine gun had a tendency to force the muzzle up when it was fired in full auto. Therefore, Nazi soldiers would lay the gun on it's side so they could kill indescriminately. I have no ideal if there's any truth to it, though.

[jehovahuponyou]

@boblasingame - thanks for your input Bob - BUT, all German squad machine-guns were belt feed and tripod mounted, which tripod mounting lugs were on the bottom of the weapon - because of the tripod and the feeding problems of laying a belt feed weapon on its side prove the 'tale' of sidewise shooting to be a fable. You were very honest in saying that you only heard such a story, thanks again.

[jehovahuponyou]

I like the asshole hold myself - that is where you stick the pistol up your ass, do cartwheels, and fire away!!! It is a very accurate hold, try it soon - happy shooting big guys!!!

[reaper042196]

the shooting sideways technique is actually legitamate i believe its a ww2 nazi tactic i havnt tried it i plan to the next time i go shooting ill try it but it is supposed to take a little recoil off

[jehovahuponyou]

@reaper042196 - you sir are a fucking retard - Nazi Tatic - where the hell are you from, Mars???!

LMAO

[tlowrybb]

Whoa! Retard, hmmm... Lets take a moment to look at your idiotic statement here. I think the retard is the person who a) Can't spell the word tactic, and b) fails to see the value of learning a "tactic" no matter the source. The brave men and women fighting for America today use "tactics"(the plural usage) learned from the Nazis, Vietnamese, Japanese, and all the other forces we've met in combat. Your parents should be ashamed. As should you, though I don't see you getting it.

[jehovahuponyou]

@tlowrybb - Dear Blojobboy, what a nice note to me, so may I reply: FUCK YOU!!! Also all armies learn tatics from others, at least those that work. And could you proved proof that the Nazis actually used the sidewize glangsto hold, as you seem to be defending Reaper???! Also, your mom and pop ARE ashamed of you!!! WELL, off to the war, and once more dear friend may I add, FUCK YOU!!!

[hifatpeople]

@reaper042196 the nazis lost the war you know, i think your trolling too.

[soul111smasher]

@reaper042196 You what else it takes off? Your sights from your target. Obviously you lose yoyu sight picture when your fire a weapon normally, but it will be alot worse and be much harder to re-aquire your sight picture.

[45Blackjack]

@NIGGERofDEATH nothing wrong with using a finger to check if chamber is clear, sometimes thats the only way, such as in low light conditions, just dont release the slide while checking ;)

at least this guy is closer to holding his handgun correctly, john is way WAY off ;)

[criticman123]

Nigger still wants to turn the gun sideways

[ACrIspYCrAcK3R]

nice glock

[LuisTheWiser]

@NIGGERofDEATH (your name)

[F18BlueAngel]

I have a question for beginner shooters. Do you have to have to muscle and body strength to fire a gun of certain calibres from .22 to .50

[hifatpeople]

@F18BlueAngel you don't need any muscle at all to fire guns, just give your old crippled war veteran grandma a sniper and she could kill tons of people. well actually the recoil of a .50 cal might break her bones but you get the point right?

[xdkwallen742]

an expert village video with good advice?? In MY youtube?!?

[almostLiterate]

@xdkwallen742 They have about 40% good videos.

[david102994]

@xdkwallen742 you funny guy

[damarei]

@xdkwallen742

It's more likely than you think

[PimpSlapNoJutsu]

@xdkwallen742

its more likely than you think!

[BLOODYMOON62]

@xdkwallen742 lol



[tiggerr42431]

A very well done video with good idea of physiology from someone who knows what he is talking about. I also have found the clenching of the fist in a Massad Ayoob training method and I highly respect anything Massad would say.

[FatherofFreedom1776]

Good vid

[guyNbluejeans]

This guy's good.

[vulcannut99]

thanks dude you're a good teacher!! would love to see more videos from you!!

[superstarboi101]

I never fired a gun before but i want to try

[AlucardDraculaFTW]

Join the army, but you are gonna get bored of guns :P Even though you think you won't

[lukakapyro]

@AlucardDraculaFTW ur kinda rite but im in the army n i still love guns

[Angel32173]

thanks for the correction abates226,they were FMJs and JHPs,i also shot a 10 gauge,3 shells i shot,didnt hurt my shoulder at all really,but it sure does kick..

[lew935]

i have a 44. mag with a 6.5 barrel and i seem to shoot to the left quite a bit but not always. is it my grip? i have been trying to grip it a little better and it seems to help but i have not been able to shoot it lately. any tips would help a lot, thanks!

[aetherblade]

Pulling to the left normally indicates too much or too little trigger finger do you use your finger tip or 1st joint?

[Pigeonification]

I don't really know much lew935, But maybe what you could do is have a table, And use the iron sights, This SHOULD be a Accurate Shot because you are not shaking or anything. If it still shoots to the left, Its your gun, If its not. Then somthing is wrong with your grip. Remember, Iron sights lined up always guarntee a Hit. But...Not all guns are that accurate. I'm not knowing much about the .44 Magnum. Well hope I helped. Have a good day. = )

[SHUNT311]

I see people at the range pull the O.G. grip all the time. Cant hit the bull at even 15 yards. Me 30 yards dead center. lol people will never learn.

[steyr177]

you do everything wrong...

[SHUNT311]

actually he does it all the right way. He's just showing the mistakes people make. I hear armchair shooters all the time disagreeing with experts but when it comes to their performance you start to see they know nothing.

[steyr177]

Im a part of the Norwegian Nation Team in shooting. I know what Im talking about. We got our technique from people we know from the Olympics... This guy (with all my respect) Found a way HE likes... (sorry if my english was bad :) )

[SHUNT311]

Very good point my friend, He does it right for that style but its what he likes. Im gonna change my stance. Just not much of a pistol shooter. Give me a rifle with iron sights and all is doomed lol.

[steyr177]

Ye, good luck man! :)

[Wildcard91]

seriously, this guy is alot better than alot of other fools on expert village like that John Reiner guy.

[rentatrip1]

whats with all the preliminary hand gestures ? and arm waving ? Homie?

What ever works - for the individual

practice - Next time you make a video -

rehearse and leave off all the distracting hand & arm gesturing - you are Not making a rap video- Homie -

[ninjapenguino101]

ur stupid shut up

[deucejam]

Nice idea. But if your non-firing arm is not doing anything, go ahead and use a two-handed grip. Much more stable, and you can pop into your normal position from which you always practice. If the non-firing arm is busy, well then you can't really place it into your chest.

[dragnhuo]

I would assume this example is used rather if your reaction hand(non firing hand) got blown off (somehow), if you were drawing for a knife for CQC, tactical reloading from a shoulder pouch, or your reaction hand being disabled, he's just simply giving a better suggestion for one handed shooting than the standard stance. That's why he brings up the examples about the sideways firing being wrong.

[Angel32173]

I shot a .45 a few days ago with the plain acp rounds,and hollow point,it was pretty tight

[abates226]

They're all ACP, not just the plain ones. You mean FMJ (full metal jacket) or TMJ (total metal jacket) ACP stands for Automatic Colt Pistol. It's just the full name of the 45 auto cartridge. You might see JHP used for Jacketed Hollow Point as well. And yes, they're all pretty tight.

[ClonecommanderTedi]

for a such a cool guy you have stupid gun glock wtf man

[Raging1nferno]

Most Police Officers have Glocks

[Chris180Z]

Where?

In the UK no police have glocks..

[EESASTORM]

Really?

Well you would be wrong there

London's Metropolitian Police have G17s

[Chris180Z]

no that is the responce unit not the street police. all areas have responce units.

[EESASTORM]

but they ARE Police officers right?

I mean they are not girl guides or some other group.

YOu dais that in the United Kingdom NO police have glocks.

No means NONE as in there are not any.

My point is that there are SOME police units. I would suspect that there are more than just the metro but I did not want to dig very far.

[Chris180Z]

ffs, Armed Response Units (ARV's) are not police officers!

[EESASTORM]

So if they are not Police what are they?

Girl Guides as I suggested?

Are they members of the Military? What do you think they are?

[abates226]

haha...In the UK, most police don't have any firearms at all...hahaha

[jmk0309]

He knows his stuff thanks dude =)

[ozkatrz207]

great info! its all physics!

[fatboy11492]

0:34 thats how gangsters shoot lmao. silly neggro

[patronus1776]

He's using a Glock 17 -- the full-size (duty-size) version. The Glock 19 is slightly smaller than what he's using in this video.

[avithemostill]

what kind of glock is that?

[MrAndythoms]

a 19

[PureMetalMusic]

they kind hes using thats the kind

[davesnipe360]

It is a Glock 19

[Watchmann777]

Very interesting stuff. I have never seen that one handed shooting technique before. I am going to dry fire test it and see how it works for me. Thanks.

[abates226]

It's a good technique, and commonly taught, although he doesn't explain what it does. The body's sides tend to mirror each other. Thus, when you tense your left hand, it has the tendency of increasing the tension in the right hand at the same time. I wish I could remeber the name of the phenomenon. Then I'd sound really smart. It does work though, and it prevents the left hand from inadvertantly getting in front of the muzzle.

[strflyr78]

this video doesnt even talk about foot position or anything that has to do with a "stance"

[cbr4tigger]

I believe that is covered in a separate video.

[stang8932]

This is the WORST video I have EVER seen on tactics and fundamentals.

[mogoolvideos]

what tha fuck

[whyunknown]

Its a good chance ima be on on a on on a on target

lol

[tlane45acp]

you dumb fuck(lemur) get a fucking life

[TheJoshShows]

@tlane45acp Whats ur problem dude what did he do that offended u

[roll3r4lyfe]

im, im, more likely to be on on on on on target
