The officer shoots to the left (right handed) due to the shooting grip she was trained for.

I was taught to grip with the third & fourth finger only. Your thumb is a constant.

The fifth finger (pinkie) will cause the pistol or revolver to shoot opposite or your hand when one squeezes the grip.

Right handed, left.

Left handed,right.

Try it.

I shoot my Redhawk & 1911 with two fingers only on the grip.

Interesting. Most people don’t think of such things, but they should.

I’m wondering if those weren’t scare’em shots. She was hoping not to have to actually shoot him? She did a whole lot of shooting without any hitting. The guy was operating on full stupid and wasn’t going to be deterred.

Might be a product of the current political climate.

Good instructor! By no coincidence at all, this is also the training for kali, western fencing, and kobudo. Probably more, but these are ones I can recite with confidence. Biomechanics doesn’t change with technology:)
