I use something like this usually:


I am probably cinching on the grip and body too much. Always forget that shit.

I subscribed to the thought process of clenching grip pretty stoutly, you don't do that?

[SS RRR]

I honestly don't know how to describe it. If you clinch too tightly it will be much easier to distort your shots. This last time out I was playing around with keeping my left hand tighter than my right to keep the body of the gun straighter when squeezing the trigger, but that didn't work out and I had the same results. I'd say a firm grip, but don't treat it like a Captains of Crush or anything.

I will see how varying degrees of firmness goes this evening.

Its interesting that both my sister and mom did not like the upkick of my pistol but were fine shooting a 9mm. I have yet to start doing quick follow up shots but so far the .40 has yet to live up to the internet hype of impossible to shoot for me at least.

Snm, what weight trigger set up are u using?

LTXtech.com IS my drug...

Its factory, which claims to be ~6.5lbs, but IMO, its lighter than that. You can breath on the trigger and it goes bang.

It's called snap or muzzle climb muzzle flip.

.40s are snappy. I try to tell people to go with a 45 because its recoil not snap. (Negligdable recoil)
I reload so it usually doesn't matter the caliber but I'll start newbs with a full frame .45 with non power factor loads. Just enough to cycle.
It builds really good habits And confidence when a newbie is shooting a badass cannon like a pro.

I always when "target shooting" or pulling Hickock shit recite "soft hands" in my head. I tell people "light and gay" as well. You are pulling the shots with your trigger finger.
When you have a good grip, you don't need to squeeze the gun.

You have to work on one motor skill at a time.

Finally did the year membership at the range tonight, and went with gf.

We rented a .22 S&W for her and ironically she shot much better with my PPX.

[SS RRR]

That could be attributed to your PPX weighing more than the .22. A heavier gun is much easier to keep steady.

Yea def, and sight distance or whatever its called is longer on PPX vs .22
