Thanks Red
You're not the only one that doesn't want to blow $300.00 just to be able to hang on to the gun, but I'll do it if I have to.
Like I said, I've been shooting 1911s quite a while, and I think I've worked out a grip that helps me shoot pretty well. With that grip, I'm able to hold on to the gun through recoil and come back on target without changing my position, including my grip at all. What helped was John Zurek having me put my knuckles in a row at the front of the 1911 grip, and standing at 90 degrees to the target instead of 30-60 degrees to the target.
I've been shooting primarily with one hand, generally with the same stance as I do in Bullseye. I'll try two handed and see if that helps, but I have doubts that it will. Shooting two handed helps steady the gun while aiming, and while cocking the single action, but doesn't seem to do much to aid in recoil reduction (in my limited experience). I haven't actually DROPPED the SAA yet, but it feels loose, and I'm gripping pretty tightly.
Could you please post a few pictures of your grip for me?
Thanks
Mike
