AT THE MOVIES - BOSCH

About this video

McPhee critiques a shooting instruction scene from the TV show Harry Bosch, identifying multiple technical errors in how the character teaches his daughter to shoot. McPhee addresses grip technique, trigger control, eye dominance, and stance issues, arguing that the instruction reflects outdated revolver-era methods unsuitable for modern semi-automatic pistols.

Key takeaways

• McPhee argues that crossed-thumb grip and low hand placement on the gun reduce control and cause accuracy problems, especially for shooters with small hands
• McPhee teaches that trigger control requires deliberate press-and-release cycles rather than holding the trigger to the rear, which he says costs 0.4 to 1+ seconds per shot
• McPhee emphasizes that eye dominance must be identified and addressed first; he identifies the student in the scene as eye-neutral, which he argues prevents accurate shooting regardless of other technique
• McPhee contends that the instruction shown reflects outdated revolver techniques that don’t apply effectively to semi-automatic firearms
