All Thumbs

I watch a lot of shooting on YouTube.

It appears that shooting with your thumbs pointed downrange has become de rigueur.

I am sure it's taught in every gun-school there is.

Gun-schools I don't have time to go to, let alone pay tuition, travel, lodging and ammo.

Because I have a little 'flick' to the right just as the sear breaks on some guns, I've been dry firing trying to kill it off.

The grip I've been using for years and years doesn't have this 'flick' with 1911's or High-Powers.

It's the plastic and striker guns which frustrate me.

Just for shits and giggles, I tried several variations of the thumbs forward grip, including changing stance just a little bit...

I think I figured it out!

I tried all the problem guns and with my right thumb lower than I thought it should be from watching vids, the 'flick' has disappeared!

Next I need to expend some ammo to confirm.

Ugh.
