Proper Grip for Auto-Pistols - James Yeager

[rhino]

You are exactly correct. Knowing what to do is a far cry from being able to do it, and many shooters fall into that trap.

We don't have to look too far to find the examplar for falling into that trap. I see him every time I look in the mirror.

I noticed James pointed out that this grip came from the competition world but he seemed to imply that it wasn't cool. Like the competition world managed to get something right for a change. I guess I should not whine he did acknowledge it.

Hey, "IPSC will get you killed" and nothing good ever came out of shooting competion. Well, except for the entire Modern Technique of the Pistol and virtually every technique that descended from it. Other than those trivial things, nothing useful ever came from competition.

I guess we will have to rely upon the bad marksmanship of the bad guys.

Maybe not, but it's so overused that it's lost all meaning. I have a hard time taking anything with tactical in the name seriously.

Agree. Tactical pants, tactical socks, tactical glasses, even tactical weapons: what do pieces of equipment have to do with actual tactics? Nothing. Anything can be used to contribute to, or be tied into, one's tactics, even the most mundane item. Should sand be labeled tactical because it can be used tactically, i.e. thrown in an opponent's eyes?
"Tactical" is the new "assault weapon."

You are a magnificent bastard without peer! If you ever get around to writing it I will read your book.

Tactical is so overused that its being tossed around in my MBA classes!!! On a paper my group wrote a few weeks back for a Strategy Class, the professor deducted some points because our discussion was too "tactical" - focused more on tactics than strategy!



With that out of the way, how many of you fondled your pistol while watching that video and tried out that grip?

Ironically, that's a far more appropriate use of the term than we see in "our world."

Heh, my G19 sitting right here as a matter of fact

Agreed. "Tactical" would be an approach that is too focused, if you are looking for strategic. "Operational" would be too broad.

My understanding of these terms comes from MCDP-1 Warfighting. I highly recommend it.

I would guess the guys that don't already use that grip are the ones who tried it.

James Yeager is Scum! This site gives you some info on james yeager and personally I don't like the guy.

Damn, so you believe everything on that web site? So you don't like him personally because of the web site, please explain? Have you ever met him in person? Have you ever had any communication with him? Have you taken any of his classes?

Here's my one hand grip:

Your hand is way too low on the gun. I'm still seeing a gap in there.

For reference:

Actually I know him from Iraq.
Yes I have met him in person.
Yes I have communicated with him before. I am also hoping never to talk to him again.
No I will never take a class from him.
And no I will not trash him in a public forum.

Remember your High School Physics: For every action there is an equal but opposite action; otherwise, the object moves. i.e. there is motion.

Let the fired cartridge do the moving and not your grip. Whatever your hold, if it works for you, then it works.

Yes, including INGO Tactical! WTF does that mean anyways!? It's almost like a bad inside joke or something.
