Majja Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 So I am moving from open to limited. I am going to use my XDM as I can not afford to build a full blown limited gun right now. Any way way if I lock my wrists out while shooting the xdm I am hitting low at all distances " 2 inches at 10 yds ". If I let the gun break my wrists it is dead on. Help please. on my open gun I keep my wrists locked and the dot hardly moves and hits where I want it to. thank you Majja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igolfat8 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Search YouTube and watch Bob Vogel Grip. Duplicate Bob's technique with any pistol you shoot if you want to shoot faster, with control and accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majja Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Here is some video on the range session. I am thinking my support hand may be to low. I just can not figure out where I am driving the shot low. I can not see any dip in the gun. Video of me shooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racknrider Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Maybe a mod can move this to the handgun techniques sub forum and you'll get more help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video of me shooting Support hand is definitely low, but you can hold the gun any which way and still get hits as long as your sights are aligned and stay that way when you break the shot.

perttime Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 When you "lock" your wrists, the barrel doesn't rise as much, so the hits go lower. The bullet stays in the barrel long enough that muzzle flip affects trajectory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majja Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 So if I respring it to a 16 this may assist in solving this little problem, as the gun will unlock just a tad faster . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Your buddy in the video says "your grip didn't break at all." On the other hand my first thought was "he's not gripping the gun with the weak hand." Watch it again. Your gun and strong hand snap back and up in recoil. The weak hand is left behind. Grip the gun as hard as you can with the weak hand and get it up higher. Thumb straight along the frame. This will require you to lift your strong thumb up off the gun, place your weak palm's heel where it is now, then replace the strong thumb on top of it.
