Pro tip from the serious Glocksters: don’t
limp-wristing yo’ gat!
It’ll only start you down that bumpy bad road full of feeding-malfs, left-drifting POIs, and other shooter-induced errors, ... like habitually stopping every third round to check if the slide is actually in battery.
Noop. Hold it right, grip it tight. That web ‘tween your thumb and trigger finger should be scrunched up high-n-hard on the backstrap. Once in place,
don’t move it.
Activitaing the slide release ...
Noop. Typical Glockster rookie mistake right there.
Unless you’ve got an Orangoutang thumb, forget about trying to shift your hand around the grip. You’ll only fugly the next round of shots after reloading.
On slide lock, after dropping the empty mag and inserting a fresh one, Glock pros take their off-hand and “sling-shot” the slide into battery (i.e., that quick pull-back and release technique perfected by Israeli Massad trainers).
The off-hand then returns to a support position, and you return to engaging targets COM with
no change in POI because you
haven’t changed your hand-position on the grip.
