And I see you have 1911 probably one of the best gun's to carry cocked and locked.
It has a thumb safety and a grip safety .
I think it was 1911

Buddy who's an RSO ripped into me for these photos from last Thursday:

@Reno911, you recognize the location....

Today's best effort. Stock XP-100 in .221 Fireball. 100 yards from sandbags. 34 gr Dogtown bullet and 13.6 gr.s of Lilgun. A little trigger tuning and I might shrink this a little bit.

I don't bleeve I've ever seen a worserer grip on any handgun in my life.

Tell me it isn't for real.

I know that 90% of people against it, but I'm not interested in any pointless debate over it. (Read video's description.) I already took part of debates back in the days over and over on multiple forums. Yankeemarshall made a good video about carrying with and without +1, Colion Noir also carried with no round in the chamber, etc. Their videos are worth watching.

If carrying is not restricted, then how people carry is up to them.

Do you carry your pictured wheelgun with an empty chamber first round up?
anyway

Looks as if you may be "chasing your target," i.e. looking at your target while shooting instead of focusing on the front sight. Just my point oh two of unsolicited advice.

Looks like a scene from 'Dune'...but yes, they are pretty bad in the grip department, too. I guess the guy above had seen these persons [male? female?] and was basing his grip on theirs.

It was a posed photo. All the shooting was done from in front of the table, same spot where I was kneeling or to my left.
Looking at the shadows and the pistol case was on the table, we were packing up. Said, "Hey Brian, get a photo of me with the revolver...."
But, in truth, if that's how I posed with it, that's probably how I hold it when shooting. Thanks for pointing it out....
RSO friend was all over me for lack of safeties and in another pose, no hearing protection or safety glasses.

'kay. I guessed that you weren't actually shooting as the hammer was down and it didn't look like you were holding on to a recoiling revolver. Still, it goes to show that even at 5000 miles distance, some smart-bubblegum is going to take notice of how you hold a gun, right or wrong. Since I'm still an NRA coach/instructor I notice all this stuff - just pay me no never-mind, ok?

@tac, Your comments help, and I appreciate it.
I stink on accuracy with that gun, have been working on hand and forearm strength with improving results. Originally, I would shoot ~7" high with it, now down to ~3" high. If I posed with it as I normally hold it, and it's wrong, I need to pay attention and train to that.
After reading your post, and looking up Jerry Miculek's video on "how to hold a revolver", I realize I have been holding it incorrectly, as well as my autos. Gonna fix that.
My buddy also sent me videos of me shooting the different rifles we brought - I have a host of bad habits that I need to fix....

 

[tac]

Yup, that Miculek guy, he listened to all I taught 'im. Jerry, I said, yessir! he replied........

Riiiiiiiggghhhtttttt.

At what distance are you shooting, and what's the setup for firing? i.e. how many rounds, how long do you have to complete the string of fire. And where is this done at?

Hard day of training last week with Tom @ OneChanceTacticalSolutions. The picture of my grimacing is during a 7x back and forth sprint about ~40-50 yards With a shot from 12 yards of a torso target in the middle.

I was the only one in armor, and the only one that made it under a minutes @ 52s.

I ran the first 4 hours with my CCW apendix rig, and the last 4 hours in "kit"

I will try and answer your questions and give you some links.
Some matches are Vintage (WW 2 or older rifles) that is a nice way of saying old like me.
Typically a match is either 80 or 50 rounds plus sighters. Some "Reduced Course" Matches are 100 yards.
An "Across the Course" match is 200-300-600 yards. Slow fire 'prone' and 'off hand' are 22 rounds
22 minutes. Rapid fire sitting 60 seconds (200 yards) 10 rounds. Rapid Fire Prone 70 seconds
(300 yards) 10 rounds. Mandatory reload 2 & 8. In this area I have shot Highpower at DRRC, TCGC,
ERGC, Clark Rifles, Lone Oaks, Longview and Albany. 100 years of history of Highpower Rifle
Competition in the USA.

Recently inherited (bought) this 1892 made in 1907. Cleaned it up as it was in pretty bad shape. Took it 100% apart and had a bit of trouble getting the lever/bolt combo back together. (still needs some attention). But took it to the range today and put 50 rounds of 32-20 cowboy loads through it and it shoots great.
