Using a wrist brace?

For the OP, check out this very interesting post, and the rest of the good thread, at the Enos forum: http://forums.brianenos.com/index.p...et-to-recoil-control/&page=11#comment-2527133

Everyone here telling the guy to dryfire but not necessarily telling him what that even means. A lot of beginning shooters think it only means to put a penny on the front sight and pull the trigger slowly. You can do everything in dry fire that you can do at the range except practice recoil control. You can still work on your grip. As a new shooter, if you're doing it right, your hands will be sore after 15 or so minutes of dry fire, because you should be squeezing the gun so hard with your weak hand.

do think different things work for different people, but if you look at the guys who can shoot the gun really fast, they generally do manage to keep it pretty flat. And that means not letting it bounce around.

You can also tune a gun to shoot pretty flat. Matching your PF and Springs, adding weight, etc.

Well, you can tune it to shoot pretty flat if you have good recoil control. If you can't grip the gun relatively firmly, only a comp or ports or the like will keep the gun anything like flat.

I had to leave for a while. Very interesting reading the posts and links, thanks everyone. I have never measured grip strength, I never really thought about there being a way to do that. But I have small wrists and I don't believe I have a lot of strength in my hands or wrists. I am 6'5" but have always been tall and skinny, at least til the last few years when my gut got big.
I recently bought a set of those springy grip exercisers, but I haven't used them as much as I had planned. I'll get back on that. This has been a god thread; made me think a lot about grip. I really need to work more on my strength along with everything else. Practice, practice, practice.
