I watched this and then one Jerry Miculek. Pretty different in their philosophy on their arm and shoulder positions.

You will see virtually all of the top USPSA & ISPA shooters using an isosceles stance. (Disclaimer: I'm not one of those guys, but I have shot with a few of them).

And Jerry has been at the top of those rankings (especially among the revolver shooters) for a long time. (IIRC Jerry's record with an 8-shot double action revolver is 8 shots in 1.00 seconds on a "tombstone" target at 5 yards.)

But I wouldn't be too quick to copy every little aspect of Jerry's shooting style. His grip strength is phenomenal - his forearms are bigger than a lot of people's biceps. And his hands, arms and shoulders are massive. So he can control a handgun using arm positions that might not work for other USPSA/IDPA shooters.

I spent two days with Jerry a few years ago for a one-on-one lesson. He didn't try to have me use the exact same arm/shoulder position that he uses.

However, the Sgt.'s tips on improving one's grip strength and dry firing should be of value for anyone.

For self defense, I wouldn't think squaring up to an armed target with the isosceles stance would be best.

That is one thing that I noticed was his strength. When he shoots there is virtually no muzzle jump. It's truly amazing.
