  • 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.

  • It's not a very effective or efficient grip.

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

  • 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.

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

  • Why not just hold it in one hand?

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

  • @ninjatoth EXACTLY my problem only with a 357

  • 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?

  • I just shoot revolvers like a pistol

  • @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.

  • @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...

  • 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.

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

    Abraço!
