Shooting a Glock 47. Is there anything I should be doing differently when doing rapid shooting drills vs slow precision shooting?

Besides just going slower of course. I'm wondering more If I should be doing something differently when it comes to things like trigger manipulation or grip pressure?

Solid grip and good posture will go a long way. Left hand should be high and keeping gun from rotating out of your grip. Trigger control is important as well, which is a bit hard on glocks, since their triggers are kinda crappy. It's all what you train with and get used to though

I don't know if it's just the shape of my hands or what, but I've tried doing the high support hand grip, just like what's described here MASTERING PISTOL GRIP - PATREON SHORT - YouTube
But I felt like in doing that I created a gap between my hands on the grip portion of the pistol and it just put me in a worse off position as far as trigger control. I do have pretty skinny hands, so not sure if that would make a difference?

Skip the Goobers on how to shoot, look up Ben Stoeger and Joel Park.

Haven't watched much of Joel Park. Have seen some Ben Stoeger videos and much of what he preaches against is stuff that actually helps me when I shoot personally. Such as prepping or riding the trigger wall and leaning forward when shooting. All of that stuff gets me shooting on target much better but Ben is against all of that. I might just not be advanced enough for Ben's teachings

Just pull the trigger, don’t be dumb about it. It’s not that your not advanced, it’s that you’re autistically overthinking it all

he's going high and sliding forward, indexing on his middle finger on the bottom of the trigger guard. You can do the similar, but with your pointer finger and just get the hand as high as you can that way, without sliding forward on the trigger guard. I can't do it exactly how he does either, depending on the trigger guard. Some I could wrap a finger around the front if I wanted, but usually only do that on smaller carry sized stuff
