And wtf is with that grip?
He is holding it like funds do. My dad and a few older military friends hold it like that no matter how much try to educate them. Sometimes you just gotta let things go with them lol.
The tea cup hold is Hollywood endorsed as it allows the camera to get a better framing of the movie star with pistol in hand, rather than a proper hold and actually looking thru the sights which obscures the famous face in the scene. The screwed up hand grips are everywhere and its painful to view it where it shouldn't ever be present - why would a mfg. serrate the front of the trigger guard if it wasn't useful?...uninformed engineers or firearm consultants perhaps. Someone somewhere thought breaking up your support hand strength by wrapping the support index finger about the front of the trigger guard; that someone should be rounded and flogged for such teachings. 60% of your grip strength is in the index-middle finger grip; opening the grip to wrap the trigger guard weakens the support effort. Same reason the carabiner is weaker when the gate is open v. closed.
Got to love when the muzzle is helmet high when shooting a 9 mm!

Below: same deal, let's allow that muzzle to get ball cap high for that fast follow-up sight picture life saving shot.

Could be useful in countries like Germany where it's difficult to own lots of different guns.
They sure did a great job of accompanying the cringe shooting techniques with cringe dubstep.

I just asked my 11 year old to show me how to hold a pistol. He has, literally, never shot a pistol other than a bb gun.

Massad Ayoob too...Tell Jerry Miculik to take his finger off the front of the trigger guard.

Sad part is most ship board security officers think this is fine. I was pulled as a safety observer because I kept hitting security for flagging.One more...……….sailors modeling a veritable collection of shooting technique cliches
From left to right
- Petty Officer Rogers with his teacup grip
- Petty Officer Tysor with his completely fucked up grip, totally unprepared to present and shoot
- No idea what Leonard Lawrence is doing back there
- Dude with the old man sunglasses rocking the center axis relock

There's no way to know. For all we know he could be a Commander.He's not a Sailor, he's a Marine officer (LCOL?)
@308pirate, you may want to give Mr. Ayoob a gentle reminder...
That said, using a pistol, my best chance to hit water from a boat, is to throw the pistol...
Ok, I assumed Marine from the Red and Gold trap patch. Unless it is a 20 year old picture, 2000 but still Red not Blue.For all we know he could be a Commander.
If only US Navy officers wore soft shoulder boards on their working uniform like every other english-speaking navy in the world, we would know.
You sure about that? I know it works the other way. I've turned my 40 Tac Sport into a 9mm with a barrel/mag swap. But my P09 9mm will not fit a 40 case on the breech face. Maybe they changed the design on newer models?If I buy a 40 S&W barrel and magazine I can turn any of my CZs from 9 to 40......
Meh I didn't think about the breech face or the extractor.You sure about that? I know it works the other way. I've turned my 40 Tac Sport into a 9mm with a barrel/mag swap. But my P09 9mm will not fit a 40 case on the breech face. Maybe they changed the design on newer models?
Got any pictures of Jerry Miculik shooting a revolver?
There is a video of Jerry explaining why he does this. It is the way he fired eight shots on target in under a second and twelve shots with a reload in under three seconds with a S&W revolver. Both records have never been broken.
Next time you see Jerry tell him how stupid he is to use such an outdated, disproven grip and it simply does not work.
Videos of you shooting a revolver at speed would be amusing.
In 2001 or 2002 I had a Division Officer, LT, tell me that marksmanship was a hobby not a military duty when I put in no cost orders for Nationals. My Chief pulled me out of his office by my collar. No, I did not get the orders.It's sad to see that the level of small arms training in the Navy today seems no better than the shit I got in 1984 during Plebe Summer.
