Want to talk about STANCE on that big bore handgun
If hitting the target is really important to you:
Im shooting a large frame S&W target model in .44 mag.
This may be the first place you will see this because Ive never seen it before.
I also shoot a .45 SAA 4.5 Sheriff's model and the difference in the weight is substantial.
Figured there must be a way to support the .44 mag so it could do what it was designed to do.
Bear with me now.
As a right hand shooter, take your pistol hand and place it on a horizontally held left upper arm. Bring your left hand up and grab your right upper arm. Your gun hand (NOT YOUR PISTOL)should be resting on your left upper arm.
It took me about three months of working through all types of non conventional holding stances to finally determine this was just totally the best by far of any commonly taught stances!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, the first time out, it was a bit chilly and I had on a cotton shirt with flannel lining. After a couple of shots, and hey, I was mighty proud of myself with the new found accuracy, I noticed that my shirt WAS ON FIRE...lol.
But I was undaunted because of the bulls eye holes in the target at 50 yards.
I bought an arm guard, its leather and has elastic top and bottom, like a tube that slips onto your arm. I think it is a welder's thing.
Try this stance, ONLY WITH LONG BARREL HANDGUNS or you may shoot a hole in your arm.
disclaimer: anyone stupid enough to try this with a short barrel or without dry firing numerous times to (1) lock in the necessary safety aspects and (2) practice safe firearm practices who becomes injured using this stance is on your own. I am not liable for any resulting injuries.
Its like Robert D. Raford says, "You cant pass enough laws to protect the stupid people and its God's way of weeding them out anyhow."
