Wrists at full extension


Recommended Posts

Simple question: should your strong-hand wrist be locked 'in line' with the forearm at full extension, or is it bent forward slightly?

I ask only because when I bring the gun all the way up to my line-of-sight, instead of dropping my head slightly, it feels like I have to break my wrists forward a bit to level off the gun. I may be over-thinking this one...

Breaking wrist forward ? as in the pistol comes up muzzle high ?

I think most shooters angle there heads somewhat when they shoot,.. just found out a while back that I did,.. 40 means glasses and they are smaller than my shooting glasses,..was practicing and couldn't see my sights they were obscured by the edge of the new glasses..

now when I take a 2 handed grip my strong hand seems a bit turned out to balance the grip with my weak hand , and rolled forward a touch due to grip angle so no it isn't in direct alignment with my forearm I use 1911's so I have gotten the fit pretty close to a natural point of aim when they come up by in my case using a semi arched mainspring housing and lots of slow draws to adjust my muscle memory.

Remember you are fitting a pistol which may or may not be adjustable to a body that is adaptable, enough practice and it will become second nature, just make sure it is a quality practice..:sight:

Hope this helps..
