Why Does The Sig Sauer P320 XFIVE Legion Recoil So Much?
About this video
Colion explains his grip technique when shooting for precision versus speed. He demonstrates why his handgun appeared to have more recoil in a previous video, attributing it to his intentionally loosened grip for accuracy at distance. Colion teaches that when prioritizing precision over speed, he relaxes his shooting hand while maintaining firm support-hand pressure to avoid disturbing sight picture and trigger control.
Key takeaways
- Colion teaches that when shooting for precision at distance, a relaxed shooting-hand grip (while maintaining firm support-hand grip) helps prevent disturbing sight picture and reduces anticipation
- According to Colion, tight gripping with both hands at distance can cause the shooter to dip shots and exacerbate recoil anticipation problems
- Colion explains that for speed shooting at closer range, he uses a different grip ratio—approximately 70% pressure from support hand and 30% from shooting hand
