Forget all about that holding your pistol upside down or sideways - this is what you need to do...
THE MOZAMBIQUE TWO-STEP
Believed to have been originated by Jim Sorrentino, et. al.
at Gunsite.
Sung to the tune of "Dominique"
CHORUS:
Mozambique him, Mozambique him,
If he fails to hit the ground
After two well-placed rounds!
Shoot between the eyes and lips,
No, NOT between the hips,
That should put the goblin down!
VERSE:
With your sights on center chest
Twice you your trigger you have pressed.
If two don't stop the fight,
A head-shot should set it right!
CHORUS
VERSE:
It is best to use a slug
Big enough to stop a thug.
Calibers that start with four
Will better drop them to the floor!
CHORUS
VERSE:
Stop this talk of "failure drills",
For it denigrates our skills.
Failure is a word so bleak,
But I rejoice at "MOZAMBIQUE"!
CHORUS
ADDITIONAL VERSE
In full evening dress you stroll
when accosted by a troll
who seizes your maiden fair.
Three quick shots to save the day,
reload, press-check, you're on your way,
and you've scarcely mussed a hair.
ADDITIONAL VERSE
Mozambique the bloody creep!
For he's been breathing far too long
and you must shut him down.
There's only one way to construe
the way he points that gun at you.
The time to act is now.
or maybe, for the second part of the above
'Tis unmitigated act
that you need now and that's a fact.
Thank Heaven you know how!

gangstas are idiots....case closed.
The Capt.
Please excuse my vulgarity, but that's f'n-assed stupid. Since I pay less than zero attention to rap and so-called black street "music" of any kind, I thought the sideways gun grip was a fan Hollywood invented. Shows me Hollywood types are even more stupid than I thought, since they copied an idiotic fad from people who are essentially street thugs. And these people want us to pay attention to their political views?!!!
Well, there's "instinctive" and then there's "gangsta"...
Canting my pistol about 30 degrees inward while not fully locking the elbow has worked very well for me in both speed and accuracy. It helps soak up recoil as well as providing a steady platform.
My thoughts as well............
Guess I should have tagged this as satire.....
It would be my luck to run up against some modern day Ed McGivern.
Are you cross-dominant eye vs. hand?
For those who don't know, everyone has a strong eye as well as a strong hand. Usually but not always the two are on the same side of the body; both right, or both left. One aims instinctively and under stress better with the dominant eye, just as one's dexterity is greater with the dominant hand.
Nope, I'm right handed and right eyed.
This technique was taught to me by an NRA certified instructor with whom I also shoot IDPA. My problem prior to trying this was that my sight picture was jumping all over the place when I held the pistol one handed, at full extension, perpendicular to the ground, and with my feet square to target. Combine that with a longish DA trigger pull and I had problems.
This canted hold, unlocked elbow, right foot forward stance felt odd at first, but (for me) it really helped.
I am also an NRA certified instructor (Basic Pistol, Personal Protection, Home Firearm Safety) and I've taught that canting technique to persons who are cross-dominant.
I'm right handed and left eyed. When I shot Indoor Pistol they taught me to shoot left handed, which I didn't like. I eventually just figured I could do as well right handed, and just look right a little. My scores were a little better right handed.
While I consider myself ambidextrous, the right is my strong hand..
However, I am blind in my right eye...
For most general purposes, I carry right-handed, shoot right-handed..
When I have the time to do so, I will transfer the weapon to the left hand to get a left-left configuration/stance.
NO 90 degree or 180 degree for me..
If I have to use a gun, it's killing time..
The less shots it takes the better..
