Your videos are filled with inaccurate information. The grip portion of this video is very poor and wrong. Your XD vs. Glock video shows your complete lack of knowledge. Your Statement "the only thing the non-shooting hand can do is either: support the weight or : screw things up" is again filled with inaccuracies. You need to go back to school and LEARN before you try to TEACH. - All Viewers BEWARE - Learn from a true professional not from a YouTube Wanna Be

Its amazing to me how many people try to correct my grip and my thumbs. This grip is comfortable and consistent for me, and I can hit a man-sized target 98% percent of the time at 50 yards using this exact grip.

If so many are trying to correct you maybe you should be humble and admit that there are better industry accepted stances. If it works for you great but why share with others something that is not considered correct in the shooting community.

I briefly show methods that I don't use in this video, and qualify everything with "use what is most comfortable for you". I'm not one to recommend something I don't use or own myself. Its clear that you will never accept me as an authority on this subject, and when I show evidence that my methods work, you simply accuse me of arrogance.

The definition of a handgun is a firearm designed to be held and fired with one hand. The non-shooting hand is just there for support

[TearinTiger]

You are right, I will never accept you as an authority on this subject. I didn't know you considered yourself one. I Never accused you of being arrogant, your replies coupled with other information you have stated as fact in other videos, and now your claim of being an authority on the subject, well, maybe you are arrogant or maybe just a legend in your own mind or someone who wants to come of knowing more than they actually do. Whichever it is, I will leave you with the internet crowd.

sure are a lot of mall ninja wannabes in these comments.

some people incorporate the "non shooting" hand into their grip. some people also consider it a sin to disengage the slide lock with the slide release instead of racking it by hand.

you give good information to somebody who might be new to firearms. dont mind these haters. they probably wanna be like you.

that said, the only way to handle a firearm is the SAFE way. you do a good job of emphasizing safety. mechanics has to do with personal preference. i dont care where/how you were trained.

And Back To You

A couple things. First, maybe you should watch the video again. I show crossing thumbs only with weaver.

Second, a got the acronym BRASS from the US Army, Breath Relax Aim Squeeze Stay on target, (the four elements you mention) plus that Relax step is an important point especially with new shooters.

Third, the only video you have favorited is a range where students handle weapons with an instructor down range; unacceptable. With that, you've lost all credibility with me.
