![]() If you’re left-handed and holding the gun with your left hand, your thumb and those controls are on the opposite sides from each other unless you have a gun with ambidextrous controls. This should put your hand in a position in which the thumb of your strong side or shooting side can reach all the controls on the side of the pistol opposite your trigger finger. Whether you extend your arms straight out or with your strong side elbow bent, hold it where the sights are aligned with each other and your dominant eye. Put the heel of your other hand, (support hand), in the open space on the grip and wrap your fingers around the outside of the fingers on your strong side hand.īoth thumbs should lie one on top of the other, along the side of the gun that’s opposite your trigger finger. Your index finger (trigger finger) should be along the frame of the gun. Pick the gun up in your strong hand with the web of the hand between your thumb and first finger as high up on the grip as possible. You’re probably doing it correctly, but just in case, let’s walk through it. The next thing we need to discuss is the proper grip for a handgun. If you are left-handed, you may be more comfortable carrying a revolver such as this 10mm Ruger GP100. Sometimes, I need to close my right eye to get a good sight picture. I still shoot it right-handed, but I move the gun to ensure the sights line up in front of my left eye. Once I discovered my left eye was dominant, I needed to learn how to deal with it. But when you take your dominant eye out of the picture, your vision will be different. Your vision should be the same when looking with just your dominant eye as when looking with both eyes. Before you start thinking that doesn’t make sense, stop and think about it. Whichever eye the finger appears to move on when you close it, that’s your dominant eye. For most of you, when you closed one eye or the other, your finger appeared to move off the target.įor me, when I close my left eye, my finger appears to slide 7–10 inches to the left. Then, open your right eye and close your left eye. Point at it using your index finger, with both eyes open. From where you’re sitting, look around the room and locate a small object on the wall at least 10 or 12 feet away from you - something like a light switch or a doorknob. The result is a sweet shooting little gun that breaks many people’s ideas about concealed carry.Indulge me a minute and let’s go through a short, simple test just to confirm whether this applies to you. It matches an aluminum alloy frame to the stainless steel barrel and slide. This single-action pistol is hammer-fired and equipped with a manual thumb safety. Lest you assume that micro-compact pistols are only available with plastic frames, I’d like to introduce you to the Smith & Wesson CSX. That means people with reduced hand strength should be able to manipulate the slide more easily when clearing malfunctions.įor more information, please visit. Not visible is the lighter recoil spring that requires less force to operate. Sig includes night sights on the pistol, and all the P365-380 slides are cut for an optic. One of the most important commonalities is the lower half of the pistol which uses the same grip module and trigger group to ensure the same feel of the pistol in your hands. Promising less recoil than its 9mm counterparts, the P365-380 retains many of the features found throughout the line. ![]() On top of the slide are low-profile, three-dot sights that don’t catch on clothing but are still large enough to use effectively. Both the feed ramp and chamber are factory polished. The 3.1-inch barrel has a recessed target crown. With a standard magazine, the gun holds 6+1 rounds, while the extended eight-round magazine gives you more firepower and grip on the pistol.Īccuracy is excellent in a pistol of this size. This micro-compact 9mm pistol conceals easily yet doesn’t feel like a toy an adult can barely wrap their hand around. And that’s just what you get with the FN 503 pistol. ![]() FN 503Īs one of the world’s premier manufacturers of firearms, I expect great things from FN. Let’s take a look at some of the options available today. Today, however, men and women alike can avail themselves of any number of tiny, but reliable, semi-auto pistols chambered for respectable cartridges. When I was but a lad, micro-compact pistols were limited to unreliable tools chambered for relatively weak cartridges. There are few better examples of defensive handgun evolution than micro-compact pistols. From the early flint knives to modern rifles equipped with night-vision gear, people have evolved our tools to meet the needs of the environment. Yet, between our power to reason and the use of an opposable thumb, we can fashion our own tools. Humans have no claws, fangs, or other natural defensive tools. ![]()
