I will note that I know I anticipated the shot a couple times in the video. Only had the pistol (my first) about a month, so I’m slowly trying to break the first bad habits. Second thing I’ll note, after this video and watching it back, I started squeezing with my left hand a bit more and managed to minimize the slipping a bit.

And yes, I also realize this isn’t the best angle for the video, I did it on a whim. Next time I’ll get a better angle, promise.

Edit: out of all the comments so far, I have to at least say I’m proud not a single comment has been made about my reloads or my trigger finger, what little is visible of it during reload. Glad I at least have that down for the most part.

I hear yall loud and clear about my support hand and every bit of how it’s fucking up everything! So thank you, I will absolutely work on this and post a follow up in a couple weeks or so. Yall da best

Edit 2: lol someone called out the reload

Edit 3: since it came up a couple times, I’ll also add this is for CCW. That’s why yes, the gun seems a bit small in my big ol hands.

So, first I just wanna thank u/Danimusrobbs for pointing this issue out and mention they are very correct… in all barrels that have the port going right into the rifling of the barrel. If your gun is ported/comped, check where it is in your barrel. For my gun, a m&p m2.0 carry comp, the port is actually in the tip of the barrel where there is no rifling. The tip of the barrel is wider than the rifling, therefore, the bullet will never come in contact with the port. I learned this through watching multiple videos which actually demonstrated this with a piece of paper or cardboard in a fixed position over the gun as it was fired and then asked the expert at my local range for verification. Any barrel where the comp breaks the rifling is going to have sheering of the jacket. But if it does not violate the rifling and is recessed(in a wider tip of the barrel), you should be perfectly fine. According to my local range expert, S&W actually made their barrels this way particularly because of this issue.

(Of course, this is my official final confirmation I’m bringing here. If I’m still wrong, and should absolutely buy a new non-ported barrel gun, please say so.)

(I’m already considering buying a new gun anyway tho cuz im addicted)
