Advice on form

[breakingcontact]

Glock 17
Around 20 yards

Im trying to figure out if I am moving my head due to the recoil or trying to follow the sights and see them faster. Input?

I asked my friend who is much better than me and he asked me what I saw the sights doing. They'd come up and apparently move left of right to some degree then back down and id break the next shot.

*This is my friends Glock 17. Anecdotally I find the Glock easier to shoot acceptably but am more accurate with my M&P but I have to work at it more if that makes sense.

So I take and post video like this to improve, I know Im not a competition level shooter. I am happy with how ive improved but i want to keep improving. Thanks for any constructive input.

I was concerned I was moving my head looking for the sights. I think now I realize I need a better stance and to lean over more and shift my weight forward.

I'm no expert but you look decent as far as I can tell. I'd maybe lean more into it to absorb recoil better if you're shooting fast, think of it like having a boxing stance. I didn't notice your head doing anything crazy, you're not being a tactical turtle or anything.

Not that I'm anyone to give advice - so I won't, but your form looks good from what I can tell, its hard to see from that side-rear view.

Seems like you hit 16 out of 17, where's the problem?

I will ask, what are you trying to gain/achieve?

I don't find a lot useful doing full mag dumps. Bill drills at best for a single target, but dumping a mag at a time doesn't seem like the most productive use of the ammo.

But I'm not much compared to most around here, so take any of that for what it's worth.

I think thats it. I dont lean into it as much as I could because my feet are too squared up. I need to take up more of a fighting stance.

I certainly agree. I do a mix of drills at the range. Im planning on shooting the FAST drill (test) soon. That is only 6 shots per.

Not really a "problem" here just looking to improve. I think what I posted above and was recommended above will help.

Are your elbows locked? Hard to tell from camera angle.

Not fully. But good point to consider.
