    On grip pressure changing point of impact, and I agree that it does for me. This is more noticeable for me with Glocks. I really “believe” it’s more side pressure related but how do you prove that?

    Perhaps a firmer grip just allows a better straight back trigger stroke and weight of the pistol is a bigger variable than pressure?

    If you don’t pre-tension (or “set”) your grip before you begin your trigger manipulation, it’s likely your hands will change their relationship to the pistol as you commence firing.

    It’s important to use the same grip strength for short range aggressive shooting and long range precision shooting. It’s important to use the same grip strength for your dry practice as well.

    This is something that I personally find easy to get lax on in dry fire, less so in live fire. When my attention starts to wander or my grip starts to slip, I call it a day.

    It is extremely easy to get lax on grip pressure and trigger control dry firing, unless regularly validating with live fire.

    While we all like advanced techniques, I would argue most of high level shooting is just the fundamentals of grip, stance and trigger control executed at a high level.

    It’s what GJM said I think with “boring reliability” added in there.

    Fundamentals executed with boring reliability.

    Like GJM said, flawless execution of the fundamentals trumps exotic strategies every time.
