Tighten It Up: 7 Steps to Better Accuracy with a Handgun

[Talyn]

Of all of the firearms in our arsenal, the handgun can be the most challenging to master. It is small with a short sight radius and generally has a trigger that requires more pressure than the gun weighs. Almost always found with “open sights,” it requires mastering many moving parts.

Good article, @Talyn, thanks for posting. I like the drills. Simple things I can try at the range.

Thanks, Talyn. Good information. Too bad watching videos isn’t all it takes to shoot accurately. If it were, I would be an expert pistol shot!

And at home. The shell case on the front sight thing works amazingly well.

Great article. The number 1 thing most people can improve is the grip on the gun. Without a solid foundation, the rest doesn't matter.

Great post on improving handgun accuracy. Getting the fundamentals right can make a huge difference. One thing I've found super helpful is focusing on the grip and stance.

@SimonRL and I learned to play “cornhole”.

-First person shoots
-2nd person must place their shot on top of/touching the hole of the first shooter.
-repeat with 1st shooter trying to hit the hole just fired by shooter 2, regardless of where the shot hit.

First person to 10 “hits/tocuhes”wins the match

Oddly, all along here I had heard cornholing meant entirely something else. Silly me.

Now i can't even hit the paper target little long hitting your bullet hole.
