The weapon will recoil backwards and to the weak side of the grip. This sideways motion can move the weapon off the target. It is helpful to tilt the weapon to the weak side from 45 to 90 degrees (it will vary with the shooter). The recoil-induced motion will then more nearly stay within the target outline.

Anyone have a scan of the original training manual, or any other manual to verify this?

Uhm…no? Maybe 30-45. But it WILL help them go undercover! :lol:
hahaha yea. The gangsters will never suspect.
Actually it is a legit technique to have a slight cant in the pistol when shooting one-handed. But this should be slight, maybe 1 o’clock (left-hand hold) or 11 o’clock (right-hand hold). But going “full-homey” or even “half-homey”? No….
And why ninjas? Why not pirates, matey?
LOL “full-homey” and “half-homey” ill have to remember that one.
I thought of pirates when I was doing the photoshop, but I always considered them more of a sea based entity. Whereas ninjas, as far as I know are strictly land based. :D
Hey! That looks like my gun!
Do you shoot it sideways too? :P
Heh, no. I couldn’t find a set of Gangsta Sites that matched the finish.

hehe those birdman sights are classic!
I was at a shooting class taught by Matt Burkett (www.mattburkett.com) a couple months ago and went to a course at Mid-South (www.weaponstraining.com) and both times that technique was taught for weak hand shooting. I don’t consider myself an expert but it did seem more effective at a 45 degree tilt. Apologies for commenting on a old post.
Interesting… I’ll have to give it a serious try sometime. I’ve shot at 90degrees a couple of times as a joke, and that was highly inaccurate for me even at a slow rate of fire.
