Does the gun always recoil up and to the right even if you're a left-handed shooter?

[shootingcoach]

Yes, because the rifling is right hand twist and when the bullet contacts the rifling, it torques the pistol that direction.

Does it have as dramatic effect in a polygonal bore as in a standard lands and grooves? For instance, would my HK USPc .45 torque up and to the right as much as a pistol of similar size and weight but with a traditional barrel?

[shootingcoach]

Yes. It's just a different way to impart a twist to the bullet to stabilize it in flight.

Might be a silly question. I know in your other videos you've used your 1911. In this video and the double tap video, are you using your 1911 as well?

[shootingcoach]

So far, I've used the same gun in all the videos. I just got a new one back from the gunsmith and will be using it. It is also a Taurus PT1911 .45

Sir do you have any uploaded videos on target transitioning while moving?



[wayfaringcoyote]

@jonzurc if that be the case then you have to fight the direction that your gun tends to recoil and it will take slightly longer for you to gain a good sight picture.

@Quartz91 doesnt matter what hand you shoot with. you are thinking about how trigger jerk might affect your aim. the rifling of the barrel dictates the recoil direction.

@shootingcoach are there any left-handed rifling?

[DFX2K9]

okay, just posted on the double tap thing noting I've found that the follow up thing works for multiple targets, random click and find this... I shoulda just posted a link and said "this guy says it better anyway"

I learned that with a fusil galil, Nice videos!

[evildude109]

@jonzurc the idea is always look for the best order of targets, most dangerous then left to right...i believe that is how marine snipers are trained if I'm not mistaken

[Quartz91]

@jonzurc

cause he shots right handed :)

[relicright]

is that a 1911? if so what name and model? like you videos so i subscribed.
