Handguns, why don't I see more people customizing their grips?

Ive got pretty giant hands. Long fingers (guitarist, go figure). It's always been hard for me to get my support hand to contact the gun - my shooting hands fingers wrap too far around the gun and take up all the space, leaving nowhere for the meat of my support hand to make contact.

I've begun taking little strips of cardboard and goon/hockey tape and building the grips up to fit my hand, and the results have been incredible.

My ability to control the gun has skyrocketed - go figure, I can actually hold it firmly with my support hand now!

I basically see no one else doing this... literally everyone shoots stock guns out of the box, like theyre one size fits all or something.

Am I missing some key component, why isn't this more popular, more often talked about... It's dirt cheap and extremely effective.

(I didn't take a before picture, sorry, I should have, but my fingers impinged at least half way into the grip panel, now they end at the beginning of the panel)

Bunker trap. TrueClays. Low gun.

Found a way to make Olympic trap even harder. Great cross training.

One month improvement

The orange target was @ 7 yds on April 5th. The yellow target was @ 7 yds on May 4th. May was my 2 PDPs and my M&P. Still shooting a little low but more centered.

New to shooting

Bought a Glock 19 Gen 5 with ACRO P2 two months ago and only shot it 4 times at the range. First few times I didn’t do good never tried any of the backstraps. Tried the backstraps on the 4th trip with the large size and noticed it fit my hands better. Anyone who hasn’t tried the backstraps I would suggest giving them a try and don’t be like me. I thought it was just me being new and my grip. Got my new Glock 19 gen 6 with COA in after since I enjoyed shooting and wanted to always do this as a hobby. I just brought it out for the first time last month and with my first time zeroing my firearm myself with no help an Major improvement

These pics of the aimpoint ACRO p2 is at 15 feet

The COA is at 20 feet

Plan to still take a few classes at my range and then get a CCW later down the road.

First time shooting, Please rate

It was my first time shooting a gun, can I get an honest rating on my aim and maybe some advice on how I can do better?

Can someone help me figure out what I’m doing wrong

Let me start off by saying, I know I’m shit that’s why I’m here. I labeled every mag 1-9. Shots 1-5 were from roughly 20 yds. 6-9 were from roughly 10 yds (I should have started closer). Something’s I was thinking about for 1-5 was that I might have been slapping the trigger and not easing through the shot. I’m using a Glock 19XV so it has the safety trigger. I also might have been gripping a little too hard. Definitely was anticipating recoil the whole time. That’s something I’m trying to work on. Another thing was that I was trying to adjust my dot too early and too far away. If anyone can point out anything else I might have been doing wrong from the patterns I’d appreciate it.

For you high volume shooters

I've been using one of these for years and it always surprises me at the people that have never used one. If you shoot a lot especially competition, you definitely need to give one of these a try.

Saves you so much time at the range. As a matter of fact, if mine were to get damaged I would buy another one immediately.

Now, I should have Glock 45 in competition and they work outstanding with Glock magazines. I cannot confirm if they work good with all double stack magazines or not so just be aware of that.

Recoil management? Never heard of her

Very new to practical shooting and I’m trying to overcome some habits that I picked up in target shooting that are not at all conducive to good results in practical shooting.

I’d really appreciate thoughts on how to fix this.

I feel like I’m taking forever to manage the recoil and get the gun to settle. The dot stays in the window pretty well, and there’s not much at all in terms of muzzle flip (wrists breaking is approximately zero). I feel like I get a decently sharp recoil impulse that drives the gun and my arms up as a unit pivoting at my shoulders. Then I take a leisurely stroll getting settled back on target.

I’ve tried rolling elbows out to engage lats, gripping harder, straightening the horseshoe and a bunch of other stuff. Those are techniques that have helped significantly in locking my wrists up, but this problem is pivoting around my shoulders and slow movement back down.

I feel like if I muscle it down, I’ll be introducing bad habits, so I’ve been focusing on eliminating the rise instead of trying to control it after it happens.

Maybe that’s not the right approach?

Some background:
Shooting precision, I basically tried to put everything on my skeletal structure and remove as much musculature from the equation as possible and to avoid putting anything at all into the gun. The way that it makes sense for me to verbalize this would be as if I poured every ounce of my being into sight alignment and trigger control, then - as soon as the shot broke - said, “my work here is done - call me when we’re ready for the next shot” and allowed the recoil to just ride wherever it wanted to go.

I have had problems with my grip - strong hand doing pretty well, while weak hand seemed only dimly aware that we were at the range and clearly just not with the program. Big separation/movement between support hand and gun.

I have fixed that - while maybe not perfect, it is no longer my biggest problem - or at least it doesn’t seem to me to be. Support hand is locked to gun and both wrists are locked.

Current problem: Recoil drives gun and arms up,pivoting at the shoulders and then slow motion return to zero.

.308 consigli

Buongiorno a tutti. questo è il mio primo fucile di grosso calibro. volevo chiedere ai più esperti se intanto posso usare il fucile in questa configurazione; attacco geissele replica (50€) e in ottica vector sentinel che usavo sulla mia 22lr. secondo voi, a 50/100m avrò problemi con la taratura dato che l’ottica non è regolabile? mi date qualche consiglio su come migliorare la piattaforma e ampliare le mie conoscenze. grazie mille.

gioco a softair e ho voluto postare la foto con una parte del mio equipaggiamento🥰

Range Trip

Shot about 500-600 rounds with 115 grain. Pretty reliable so far. Sorry I don’t have meta glasses.
