Junkman's How to Shoot a Handgun for Novices
Part I
This is the first video of a 3-part series where I cover the fine skill of firing a handgun and actually hitting what you are shooting at. However, there are a ton of things that you should consider BEFORE thinking about owning and walking around with a handgun. I am going to cover the bulk of some of those things in this entire series but this video addresses some of the most important things to consider. Part II In part two of this series, I cover a few more critical things but most importantly, I cover the exact technique used to aim your weapon and hit the target. This technique on how to aim is a sure fire way to guarantee that you will hit the target every time. If you take the time to master this technique, you can then branch off into other techniques of shooting that are geared toward other styles of shooting. Before you can learn those other styles, you must first get your rounds on the paper. This technique will definitely get you on the paper. It's funny... I am so use to teaching Marines on how to shoot the M16A2 rifle that I often throughout this video call the front sight, "the front sight post." It just comes out without me realizing it because I have taught it for so long. Just realize, when I say "front sight post", I actually meant to say "front sight." Part II-A In this video, I cover exactly how I hold my weapon. I show my hand positions and go over my technique in detail. I also cover IMPORTANT range information from how to conduct yourself to what to wear and safety equipment. Part III In this video, we take all that we have learned and put it to the application of firing your weapon. For those who jumped straight to this video, you will quickly realize that you are not learning anything because the lessons are in the first TWO videos. I did it that way on purpose so if you didn't watch the first two videos, any questions that you may ask are going to get the same answer: "Go back and watch the first two videos." I can tell by the questions posted, who has watched the previous two videos just as I do in my detailing videos. In this video, I say that I am shooting at the 10-yard line but it looks more like I am shooting at the 15-yard line. That's 45-feet. My eyes aren't what they use to be! Either way, I'm a little bit rusty coming off this COVID19 break so I have some catching up to do. Again, as a novice, you will not be shooting at those distances, 5-yards should be your working distance. I need more of a challenge as I can hit something at 5-yards in my sleep.

Same here. I've had my CCL for over 15 years... I should probably watch all 3. LOL!! BTW, are you still planning on doing an engine bay cleaning video? How's that Porsche treating you? Last edited by Zingston; 08-27-2021 at 07:47 AM. |

I've had my first repair completed. I blew an air strut, which is basically a shock that can be pumped up with air. The strut was $1350.00. I called 5-mechanics and four of them wouldn't touch it. It's not that the job is hard to do, it's the special tools you need to do the job. Yea, this is going to be a love/hate relationship!

I've had my CCP for 44 yrs. Had training when I was with the DoD back in the 70's. Always up for refreshers. Might learn something new and fix a bad habit that forms over time.

Yep, I'm always open to learning new stuff. I gave up my knowing-it-all certification at about age 19. |

Like me, you've probably owned a .357 Magnum with an 8" barrel at one time?

Have 3 of them right now. A 4", 6", and the 8". The 4" was my duty gun on the armor car. Plainclothes security, I carried a Colt 45 ACP.

Best sign ever that I saw on a armored truck:
"Robbers, have your I.D. ready. We notify next of kin."

Loved doing the Fed bank runs. 3 of us on the truck. 2 in front and one in the back. Nothing like taking a nap on $30 million dollars on the way back from Cleveland to Pittsburgh.
