I'm a new Glock shooter and wondered if it was a good practice to place the tip of my LH Index Finger on the front outside of the Trigger Guard on my new G34? I'm a RH Shooter, coming from the 1911 world and the G34 Grips do not seem to me to be as natural fitting as the 1911 grips .... my LH just does not seem to lay in there as naturally. Wonder if putting my LH Index Finger there would lead to pulling the gun to the left? It sure seems like it was designed to have your off hand index finger go there? Thanks in advance for your advise and shared experience. Ken

+1 Ditto ... easy choice, no brainer, the best there is !

Wilson Combat CQB-Elite, same Gun I shoot in IDPA Matches

Practiced much of what all of you have advised, including dry fire. Have not had enough time to do a lot of practice but did what the time allowed. Just back from the range with a huge smile on my face .... it worked. The "Uncle Sam" grip and the "Half Homey" approach really helped. My results were incredible compared to the depressing experiences of the past ..... now to keep practicing. just these changes alone will let me compete with confidence .... at least I won't "stink up the joint". Thanks one and all. Ken

Thanks Duane, i think there is an awful lot of merit to your thoughts and advise on the matter and I WILL do the dry Fire practice... with the current price of ammunition it all the more effective, not that it wasn't alreedy great advise. Thanks Ken

Thanks krispie, that is a super clear and easy to understand explanation ... I'll do just that in the morning. Does one use an Isocoles stance or a Weaver like stance when using this technique to the max? And, what is best to do with the "Non Shooting Hand" ... place it in the center of your chest, or behind your back? Ken

Yes, I have access ... I belong to a Club near my home and will be there in the morning practicing this, and, the "half homey" approach with the gun canted inwards (WH). Thanks, Ken

I am absolutely terrible at "Weak Hand" strings ... even at just 5 yards. I'd probably do better, or at least just as well, if I just "hip shot" with my left hand w/o even looking at the sights. Out of 10 rounds (9mm) I may get one dead center in the bullseye and the rest sprayed all over within an 12-18" radius. Next IDPA Match is in 10 days and I'd really like some help with things to practice, besides just pouring a ton of rounds downrange. without a specific plan that seems just expensive and not very productive or efficient. This particular stage has us shoot 6 rounds at 20 yards freehand and I'm OK with that, another 6 rounds at 10 yards "Strong hand Only".... I'm not so good at that either; then the last 6 rounds at 5 yards, "Weak Hand Only" . I'll surely lose a lot here unless I can make some real improvement between now and then. Thanks, Ken
