Good read, thanks for that. I think I will print that out for my wife to go over - it explains things much better than I could about the surprise break.

Great article Ed, and I agree with almost all of it......that being said, I teach firearms to the new Officers in my Dept. and I would have the place the "Grip" as being one of the four most important fundamentals. It doesn't matter how good your trigger control, sight picture, or sight alignment is if you have a crappy & weak grip on the gun. One shot with a bad grip is about the only shot you'll get off.

The Grip is the the first thing that has to happen before you can fire the gun accurately, so I tend to place it pretty high on fundamental list. Enough nitpicking.........great article!!

That's what I like about this forum, there' always someone to bring in professional information that I'm either needing or want to pass on to someone else.
