There's no "be nice" when it comes to firearms safety, son. That said, yes please let's suggest gently, yet assertively, that OP get some training.

[-]

KittehKittehKat@reddit

Nah he’s dangerous and needs some training this is baaaaad.

[-]

Alexius_Psellos@reddit

Very cool gun, and don’t let everyone else get you down about grip and accuracy. If you are having fun and being safe that’s all that matters.

[-]

Muckmenofficial@reddit

Na man you can’t support that, lack of control over a pistol like that is genuinely scary, you can tell he’s scared to shoot it at all.

[-]

lethalmuffin877@reddit

It probably asked him for his papers right before the recording

[-]

ChiefFox24@reddit

You are yanking that trigger like crazy. You are hitting several feet low left of where you are aiming

[-]

austinsutt@reddit

And raise non dominant arm up and to the side for balance.

[-]

GlitteringActivity85@reddit

Unironically how I shoot period era pistols.

For a Tokarev I raise my pistol up like the old propaganda picture before I shoot it lmao

[-]

wtfredditacct@reddit

Jerkin that thang like it like it owes him money.

[-]

Jdp1902@reddit (OP)

Not use to the manly and heavy trigger of the browning 🫩

[-]

It doesn't matter if the pistol has a 12 lb trigger pull or a 2 1/2 lb trigger pull. It is the direction of movement on the finger. You are pulling the gun to the left as you squeeze instead of squeezing straight back on the trigger. That will come with practice but you probably need to get some training! Also the way you grab the slide puts you in danger of getting bit by the slide at the ejection port. Grab the frame just behind the port.

VladStark@reddit

Yeah, this looks like, "So anyway, I started blasting!"

[-]

Fredlyinthwe@reddit

Disable the mag safety, it helps

Matuco9004@reddit

1911/2011 spoils us 😁

[-]

Whosyahudi@reddit

Nice gun. Painful to watch. Was he holding his breath why is there a gasp at the end??

[-]

Jdp1902@reddit (OP)

I cut the vid short but my buddy and I were laughing abt how I couldn’t hit anything lol

[-]

Whosyahudi@reddit

lol makes sense. Awesome gun though!!!

[-]

Jdp1902@reddit (OP)

Happy birthday btw

[-]

Navysoonerchannel@reddit

Holding that thing like you’ve never shot a gun before

[-]

danieladickey@reddit

Tea cupping the grip ☕

[-]

MapleSurpy@reddit

Have you....ever fired a gun before?

The way you rode that slide forward made me loudly say "oh ew" at work, and when you started shooting I had to pause the video and collect my thoughts.

[-]

map2photo@reddit

I’m laugh crying in my basement office at “oh ew.” 🤣

[-]

Bromontana710@reddit

Looks like it almost jumps right out of your hand with each shot.

[-]

Siegelski@reddit

That's because it does. His grip is dog shit.

[-]

CapableSecretary8478@reddit

That’s disrespectful to dog shit

[-]

ThePretzul@reddit

My dogs really do have shits firmer than that grip there

[-]

TheCarm@reddit

bro are you having withdrawals? May my future surgeon never have these hands

[-]

ye3tr@reddit

Bruh i can shoot a rifle one handed without shouldering better

[-]

KittehKittehKat@reddit

Bro almost dropped it first shot…

[-]

Jdp1902@reddit (OP)

Unfortunately the tarkov skills didn’t translate here haha

[-]

lethalmuffin877@reddit

Do you mostly shoot revolvers? That teacup grip is a bad time for semi autos my dude. Gotta get the monkey grip and support clamp on then rotate the elbows up, lock in, and make a triangle to cut back on that flip

[-]

MisanthropicNun@reddit

Need to learn how to shoot

[-]

RockSteady65@reddit

💀

[-]

MAXXTRAX77@reddit

That gun deserves better.

[-]

RedditardedOne@reddit

I'm just here for the grip talk

[-]

gwhh@reddit

The German made 400,000 of those after they took over the FN works in 1940.

[-]

robertbreadford@reddit

Bros grip 🤦‍♂️

[-]

Dr_ChungusAmungus@reddit

This grip is called a “cup and saucer” grip, it is pretty old school.

[-]

Slugnutty2@reddit

The Queen demands when her ladies shot using the tea cup grip that the damsels extend the pinkie finger of the support hand like all good subjects.

[-]

rockit_jocky@reddit

I would have been more impressed with some decent pictures vs your shooting. Sorry.

[-]

ragandy89@reddit

Bro is in England with that grip.

[-]

GamesFranco2819@reddit

Why are you riding the slide home like that? Just let it go man.

[-]

tripinjackal@reddit

Of all the issues here, for some reason this is what irked me the most.

[-]

GamesFranco2819@reddit

I think it's because you can see/hear the slide hang up.

[-]

young_steezy@reddit

Yes, thing needs some lube

[-]

Sad-Wave-4579@reddit

You really need to work on your marksmanship. All sorts of people and sources to help on google/yt

[-]

Chrisscott25@reddit

On the plus side he don’t have to change targets very often… or at all

[-]

[-]

LetsGatitOn@reddit

Ill never understand the folks that buy guns but have little to no training. OP, its a cool gun..though I'm not into any nazi shit. But if your gonna shoot it, learn some basic technique

[-]

yeehawpard@reddit

Fastest and most accurate milsurp collector

[-]

901_vols@reddit

Guys cut him some slack. Some of us are here for secondary reasons. We aren't firearms people first. I'm sure he was into this gun for....some other reason

[-]

irierider@reddit

Now I want Tea

[-]

mufflumpkins@reddit

I'm not an expert but it looks like you're pulling the trigger too hard/fast and your grip is wrong

[-]

Tha_Maestro@reddit

Looks like you’re anticipating the recoil.

[-]

Harmsfather@reddit

Shooter confidence is imperative in handgun accuracy

[-]

Muckmenofficial@reddit

Yikes. You need to take a handgun course or something man. Really bad grip, trigger pull and general lack of control. I can tell just by this short clip that you are scared of it.

[-]

SendMeUrCones@reddit

Some days, I feel like I’m bad a shooting pistols, especially seeing posts on this sub of people going crazy nailing steel.

Thanks OP, for making me feel good about myself.

[-]

zkydash8@reddit

Pierce Brosnan should not be a role model for proper grip.

[-]

FadedIntegra@reddit

Making 9mm look like 10mm.

[-]

dnaleromj@reddit

You don’t need to fondle that thing like it’s got balls.

[-]

Dr_Juice_@reddit

Bro’s on the A-Team. Lots fired and nothing hit.

[-]

fred_ditto@reddit

Jesus Christ, there's so much nope going on here. And people like this wonder why they struggle to hit a target... it's not rocket science. But also not taking anything away from seeing videos of people shooting and holding a handgun properly says a lot about OP's, and a lot of people's, lack of self-awareness.

[-]

jaded4b@reddit

Reminds me of my fiancé's grip and shooting form. I tell her how to fix it and she just defaults to this idk lol

[-]

OneEyeWillyWonka@reddit

Cause they're always showing this piss poor grip on TV probably. Honestly with the impact that media has on the firearm owning community, it should be illegal to have a firearm in a movie or show that's being handled by an untrained professional. As a normie, you gotta get a license to carry and have to go thru all these classes and shit but if you're an actor that has an impact on the spongey minds of the general population, you can just terribly handle a firearm on camera and that's cool?

[-]

ElCochiLoco903@reddit

based?

[-]

YeNah3@reddit

thought stormtroopers only aimed like this in starwars

[-]

SwanMuch5160@reddit

My god, what’s going on with that recoil? I have a 1958 T marked, a 1987 Browning and an mid 2000’s FB Herstal and non of them have that much recoil with stock springs.

[-]

LupercalTypeIII@reddit

my guy got the shakes, did the browning come with "panzer choco"

[-]

MrBogardus@reddit

Odd grip bossman

[-]

Geronimo5316@reddit

Unless you’re British, there’s no reason to teacup your pistol, lol.

[-]

GaGuRoShoMo@reddit

Get a .44 Magnum. I just want to see what happens.

[-]

CollateralLlama@reddit

Ride the slide, teacup like a victorian lady, and shake like a leaf on the wind.

I'm confused by the cut of your jib.

[-]

lilcoold12345@reddit

Is this bait? If not seriously work on getting the fundamentals down brother.

[-]

NthngToSeeHere@reddit

Wow, so wrong.

The High Power was designed for/by FN. John Browning was only involved in the initial stages before he died. Browning designed more for FN than US companies at the end of his life. Of those designs for US companies, FN usually bought the rights to produce and dustribute worldwide.
the High Power was never produced in the US. All Browning branded pistols were FN made until the Buckmark .22 built in Morgan, UT, as a matter of fact the Buckmark was the first Browning branded firearm ever built in the US. The rest were built in Belgium or Japan.

-FN was producing the pistols for military contracts around the world when Germany invaded and diverted production to themselves, just like Radom Vis 35 and Konsberg 1914 (licensed 1911 copy) among others.

[-]

Jdp1902@reddit (OP)

Only thing I can confirm about this particular firearm is it was produced by the Nazis - so yeah

[-]

NthngToSeeHere@reddit

It wasn't produced BY the Nazis, it was produced FOR the Nazis.

Fun fact: the foreman over heat treating was later revealed to be a Belgian Resistance member and he supposedly tampered with the furnace guages to read lower than actual. So, they were treated too hot. I've never heard about any failures due to bad heat treat but that's the story.

[-]

Jdp1901@reddit

Nazi germany did invade liege, belgium and subsequently took over this factory. FN the owners of this factory were then forced to make the weapons for the nazis yes, but i think its a little too much of a gotcha for you to correct the story.

[-]

NthngToSeeHere@reddit

Which parts? The incorrect parts or the wrong parts?

[-]

Jdp1902@reddit (OP)

Oops yeah I guess Nazi occupied production lol. History isn’t my best suite but I love when a firearm has history behind it
