- Stance and Shooting Position. Your stance and shooting position are your foundation, especially when learning how to shoot a pistol accurately. Different shooting disciplines might dictate different positions, but the key is to establish a well-balanced, stable body position.
- Gripping the Pistol. A proper grip is crucial for repeatable handgun accuracy, especially when firing more than one shot. Your grip is the interface between your body and the gun.
- Sight Picture. If you’re familiar with shooting iron sights on rifles, you know what your sight picture should look like on most pistols. On most pistols with iron sights, simply line up the front sight blade or dot in the notch, or between the dots of the rear sight.
- Breathing Cycle. Like shooting a rifle or bow, your breathing cycle is critical when you’re trying to shoot a pistol accurately. The more movement you can eliminate from your body, the more accurately you’ll be able to shoot.

If you’re here, you probably realize that…shooting pistols is actually pretty hard! At the beginning of my shooting experience, I had a lot of sympathy with the Stormtroopers missing everything too. At least they had the excuse of a stressful situation! Now I’m not some professional competitive shooter, but take that as a positive…I still remember ...
Some of you might scoff at the idea that how you stand has anything to do with how you shoot. But think of it as the foundation of everything. If you have a wobbly base, chances are it doesn’t take much to mess up whatever is on top. And loud explosions and recoil have a way of messing stuff up. The main thing is to have a stable/comfortable stance...
The first piece of advice I received about handgun grip was from the salesman at my local gun shop. He asked me to grip his hand with the same strength I planned on griping my future 1911. I gave him a nice firm handshake while he proceeded to crushmy hand. A dick move, but a great lessonto have a very firm grip on your gun. And how you holdthe gun...
You’ve probably heard it before…focus on the front sight! Well, it really does help. In the beginning, I squinted hard and struggled to focus with just one eye open on the target. Remember that you want to match the top of the front sight with the top of the rear sight. The top and middle of the front post is where your rounds should end up…not the...
Might be the most important partof everything, and what dry-firing practice is all about below. The best advice is to squeeze super slowly that you’re almost surprisedwhen the shot breaks. You’re not yanking on it since that will result in jerking the trigger and sending the shot off. The slower you pull the betteryour shot will be. How about where...
One thing I always forget to do when I’m shooting. Holding in your breath messes you up after a while and so I just try to breath naturally. You’re pistol shooting, not sniping 1,000-yards, so you don’t have to plan your breaths (and heartbeats).
An easy mistake is to immediately lift your finger off the triggerafter each shot and look at the target. But trust me, the hole will always be there so take your time. Whenever you lift your finger off quickly, you’re likely shooting too fast and jerking the trigger, or introducing excess movement to the gun. You’re also making it harder for yours...
What is Dry Firing?
Dry firing is pulling the trigger on a cocked gun and allowing the hammer/striker to drop on an empty chamber or dummy round. It’s probably the most effective way of improving pistol accuracy. And you can do it at home!
Is Dry Firing Safe for My Gun?
If your handgun/pistol shoots centerfirerounds (9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, etc) instead of rimfire rounds (such as .22 LR), then you can dry fire all you want since the firing pin is not actually hitting anything. Rimfire firing pins hit the mouth of the chamber when there’s no cartridge, so you should practice with snap capsthat take the hit. Still…my advice is to consult your owner’s manual to double-check. There are a lot of snap caps and dummy rounds on the market, so be sure to take a look a...
Why Dry Firing?
The main point of dry fire practice is to develop muscle memoryso you consistently produce an awesome trigger pull and don’t flinch when it’s time for real shooting. And if you’ve developed some bad habits along the way, it does a great job of rewiring you back over time. At least for me, I find that after a week or two of dry firing a few minutes a day, I become “one” with my trigger and grip. My grip just feels right, and I can sense all the little nuances in the trigger pull. And when I fo...
Too much range practice, in the beginning, is sometimes detrimental. That’s because you haven’t built up good muscle memory. Instead, you build up a flinch reaction. Don’t worry if that’s you…with some quality dry-firing at homeyou can overcome it. I like to always have some dry firing sessions at home in between range days. And when I get to the r...
Here are some shooting gear and accessories that I’ve found to help me become a better pistol shot. Snap Caps: Essential if you’re shooting rimfire such as .22LR, but also great for other calibers if you want to work on reloads in the future, or do the drill I just mentioned above. Laserlyte: Awesome tool to visually see where your shots hit. It’s ...
