This ! And the Alien really is a superior design for fast shooting.

Stoeger even won a national title without winning a single stage.

Me too...

Hwansik Kim is locking his wrist without gripping hard with his strong hand. I think Stoeger does it too. You can learn to isolate that muscle group in your forearm. Thats at least what Kim said. Grauffel is using almost no grip pressure. Front to back pressure only. His wrists are locked pretty good i think.

You got a lot of good information from everybody in this thread. Maybe something will make it clicking for u. There are some problems: 1. The gun moves in your support hand. You can see the trigger guard lift from your finger and you see the gun moving back. Watch your thumb. 2. Your shooting hand wrist is much more unlocked than your support hands. That doesn´t let your grip work together like a unit. 3. You don´t give that incoming recoil energy a chance to dissappear, if you lock your ellbows. You can see that all impact force running into your shoulders. That pushes you back. It´s also also a more violent slap to your grip. 4. Maybe get your stance more wide, right foot and your ass a tiny bit back. Just a bit. To fix your grip, there are many solutions and techniques. 1. Use some kind of grip enhancer like progrip and griptape or epoxy 2. Use a leverage technique to hold your hand in place or a different technique like "push&pull" 3. If you use a conventional (US) style grip, your support hand should be able to handle a lot of the recoil, so you can hold your shooting hand pretty loose. Try to lock your right wrist but remaining more of a relaxed grip. One example for getting some leverage in your grip is this, but there are many ways.

Right. I just checked again... thats pretty amazing! But it also tells you that shooting less rounds on more days per week is much better than shooting many rounds every one or two weaks.

wasn´t it 28.000 ?

Sure it is possible. Try building your grip with more leverage instead of just gripping hard. You will develop the muscles you need over time. Your wrists should be locked, without tensing your shooting hand up. Thats not easy. Elbows/Arms slightly bend and relaxed. Shoulders relaxed.

I believe, the first thing you should learn is a good solid grip (incl. wrists, elbow, shoulders, stance.) With 50 rounds you could do 50 reps of the 50/50 drill. Thats 100 Trigger presses. (lets say 40 which are 80 trigger presses and do 10 shots shooting doubles in the end, to see how you did) Load a round into the chamber, then get the mag out and put it on the table or back in the pouch. Start low ready. Build your grip, stance etc. from low ready. Shoot a fast pair and watch what the sights are doing in recoil and what they do on the 2nd shot, wich is dry. Your brain will still be stressed from the first shot and you will make the same mistakes like in live fire. -Did you see the sights move, or did you blink? (fix the blink) -How did they track in recoil? Predictable or strange? (work on your grip until they move predictable) -Where did they land? (work on not pushing, change grip pressures, wrist lock etc. until they land where they started to lift) -What did the sights do on the 2nd shot, which was the dry press? You can see everything you do wrong on this trigger press. Did they shake? Did they dip? (Work on not to flinch, milk, trigger press etc.) They should not move to be perfect. -Film yourself to see if you get pushed back (stance) or to see the gun moving in your hand (grip) or to see a hard push in the shoulders (locked ellbows) or to see the gun lift pretty high (wrists & grip) etc. Follow the guideline that your grip and wrists should be solid, but everything else pretty relaxed. Remember all you learned about your grip, wrists, stance, shoulder and ellbow tension and implement these things in dryfire.

You can do everything in dryfire other than recoil control. On the range i would go for 50/50 drills und doubles drill. Remember your best grip, stance etc. from live fire and use it in dryfire. You can get pretty good if you put in quality work in dryfire, even without beeing able to run around on the range.

My RHT sucks. Guess you can have bad luck with RHT.

I´m trying out the new slightly curved AC trigger now. Seems like i like it a bit more. Finger hits the same spot every time.

For some reason the trigger became a bit lighter and the dot doesn´t move when the striker hits the chamber. (with AC vs GG)

As my AC Trigger somehow doesn´t want to sit flush in the hole of the FCU, ( like there is tension from the trigger bar, wich wants to pull it out of the hole) it did wear a lot on the contact point over the last 2 month and has a lot of side to side wiggle now. Thats pretty strange. I ordered a new bar (the old one works fine with GG,Stock and Apex Triggers) and the new slightly curved AC trigger. Hope this one doesn´t have that problem.

When you do your movement training, concentrate on coming to a smooth stop with your sights early up and as steady as possible on the target. Over time that will somehow solve your problem by itself. Look at your stance when you entered your new position. Relaxed shoulders is key. Don´t tense up.

That looks good. Like they finally made the form to make the modules in L and S. A pitty that i just bought a txg grip in M.... for 400€ in Germany (M is to small, have to trick it out with griptape to make it bigger - i thought they would never bring them in Large)

who ?

I learned for myself, that i don´t want the best gun possible. I stay much more motivated when i change parts for tuning etc.

They don´t exist as far as i know. I´ve seen the normal x5 Grip on their webside, but it´s still not produced i think.

I´m running this combination too. I didn´t take all the pretravel out. I like how wide the trigger is. I´ll try the new slightly curved trigger, wich will be coming out soon, too.

No, you are right, of course! I just wanted to put some more variables out there. It "sounded" a bit time-weighted. (timer) For example: A grip can feel and shoot great, with the perfect grip, but it can be pretty hard to get that grip out of the draw, if something just issn´t right for you. (a bit to small is enough to make it hard to grip it right, for example). Your timer and your hits can tell a different story. The factor adaptation is there too. Magwell, Buttons, size, stippling etc. But yes, if you shoot a new grip and you mostly get better hits and times, you mostly don´t have to think about it. If not, you should/could put in more variables and time to really sort it out.

Sounds like everything is ok then. I just had a problem yesterday. The trigger felt bad, heavy and much to loose, rattling around. Oh, and it wouldn´t fire every time. I changed the tiny small trigger reset spring in the Striker because it was damaged. That was the loose feeling. But that wasn´t the whole problem. It just was much to dirty, i think. After cleaning everything felt normal again.

Your welcome Eric: Yes and no. There are grips where you get a better grip, more easy, etc. You also can shoot as fast as you want, with any grip. Depending on the shape, your handsize etc. different grips can return to zero differently. If everything is a shooter thing, why even bother changing a grip ? Hello
