Imagine this: You’re walking to your car from a nice dinner with your significant other. The parking lot is a little dark, but you don’t think anything of it because you’re in a nicer part of town. As you get towards your car, a guy steps out of the shadows and starts moving towards you with a knife, walking with intensity, threateningly, clearly meaning to harm you and your date.
What do you do?
If you’re like too many legal gun owners, you fumble your draw, have trouble getting both hands solidly on your gun, and completely miss your attacker when you fire on them in an attempt to save your life (and who knows who you may have hit with that stray bullet).
That’s absolutely not how you want that situation to go. You want to be smooth, fast, on target, with a solid grip enabling you to do that so that your shots only hit your intended target (that you’re only shooting in order to stop a threat of immanent harm). You save both your life and your date’s life, and you call 911 to get the police and EMTs on site immediately.
Or, if you’re fortunate, you draw and get on target so smoothly, so quickly, so naturally that your attacker pauses, reconsiders, and leaves so that you never have to fire a shot. That’s the ideal way for that situation to go down, no shots fired, no one hurt, no one dead.
With that situation in mind, it’s obviously vitally important to have a good grip on your pistol, and Carter with Patriot Training Center has solid advice for you on how to fix your grip. You can watch the video below.
Take what Carter talks about in the video, and practice those steps. Practice each step individually and, then, chained together. Video yourself dryfiring your draw and grip drills so that you have an objective view of them.
And do them over and over and over again until they’re second nature (and, then, periodically revisit them to make sure that no bad habits have crept into your draw and grip).
Why would you do all of this work?
Because the life you save may be yours or someone that you love.
