I use mysterious mind control tricks to get people to stop.

I offer basic pistol marksmanship coaching to anybody who wants.
No real cost involved. I've helped a lot of newbies here in the past.

I found that using the included backstraps that come with Glocks helped me. My hand isn't huge (nor tiny! :rofl:), but my fingers are long enough that my second knuckle of my trigger finger is in front of the trigger when pressed. That causes me to pull the trigger to the right, which pushes the muzzle left.

This isn't as pronounced on certain models. The smaller the frame, the more it happens.

Increasing the grip circumference pushes the front of the pistol forward, better aligning the trigger finger with the trigger.

YMMV

Both gaps in firing hand in key places, at least ant one point, and support hand coming off the gun. The isolation of the trigger finger is one thing, but doesn’t helps as much if his grip isn’t solid.

He makes them relatable to your everyday person. 1 of his older trainers, an Asian guy (Trung?) is the reason why I rack my slide 3 times to make sure it's clear. He had an IG vid about it. He also has another vid where the guys gun went off and Micky saw that his finger wasn't on the trigger. So something wrong with the gun. Which he used to further express the importance of keeping your gun pointed down range. "He did everything correct" is what Micky said.

IMO, the guys grip sucks, but it wouldn't affect his accuracy too much as he isn't rapid firing. You see him have to redo his grip after some shots. Practice, practice, practice. And do so correctly. Get good reps in.
