anyone have some ideals on where and what books ,websites, videos, articles that will help me with pistol shooting technique. stance,grip all that stuff! thanks

The Modern Technique of the Pistol by Morrison is Jeff Cooper's dogma from someone else's pen, but it's good. Handgun Hunting by Lee Jurras and George C. Nonte is good, but out of print. In the 80's Guns & Ammo published collections of handgun hunting articles by Skelton, Kieth, Milek and others. I see them used sometimes.

Hope this helps, Okie John

The single best thing you can do is join a club (if you haven't already), one that has some hand gun shooters in it. I have never seen a good shooter who wasn't eager to teach others his skills.

You have to separate shooting technique into bullseye, defensive, and hunting. All are different .For hunting , metallic silhouette is good practice,defensive really requires a course by a very good instructor, bullseye is of course one handed.

The technique you use will depend on what you want to do. How ever, learning how the intire body interacts to place the bullet ten ring, is the basis for all handgun shooting.
Bullseye shooting, one handed, is where the learning starts. This is where you learn foot placement, grip, thumb placement, that damnably pesky little finger, uniformity of the natural arc of the gun while aiming......etc.
Once these basics are down and there's a bad day going back to basics, bullseye, helps to find out were the problem is.

jlongo is very right....ask a shooter at a range....NEVER ask on a Competition Day...like all competitors a good shooter needs time to get his shooting focus together....go to the range on competition day and just watch others...try to arrange time off shoot day to get some pointers...most clubs will let you shoot as a guest a few times before you must join...different shooting situations require different approaches..... see you in the 10 CTrooper

It looks like no one read your question... altho' they're all correct answers.

Here's a good starting point
