Video: Tips on Weak Hand Shooting with Doug Koenig

In another of the training segments produced by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, Doug Koenig discusses how to properly shoot with your weak–or non-dominant–hand. He shows how to properly transition the pistol from the holster to your weak hand. If you are shooting a 1911, he says it should have an ambidextrous safety so that the pistol is on safe as you make the transition. Doug makes the point that you should practice this at home by doing dry fire practice before you do it with live ammo at the range. He notes that after a few transition cycles you will start to get comfortable with it.

I am a working financial planner with a profound interest in guns, gun rights, and politics. The last part comes from a period of my life when I thought I wanted to be a political science professor and was in a doctoral program in PoliSci at UNC-Chapel Hill. I blog almost daily on gun rights, legal issues related to firearms, and stuff that just strikes my fancy.
