Definitely not up todays standards of safety.. As a pistol instructor So many things wrong that their teaching.

cool video!

OMG!! Yeah. lets clear the pistol while facing our instructor! what a hoot! Thank goodness we have so much better training available!

that was fun to watch

Made me nervous just watching how many times that instructor had been pointed at . :eek:

I am now adopting the palm grip as my go to pistol grip!

Seen this vid a bunch of times. The training in thge vid was in an era when men were men and sheep lived in fear, unlike todays PC world. ;)

5 minute mark, the two hand hold shown is the classic cup and saucer, a no no today

14:40, apparently they believed standing unsupported was "point firing", interesting terminology used IMO

I learned to shoot that way . That was the way to do it . Well not aiming at you guild though .:eek:

I was pretty good but then I had the eyes for it then too . 10 years old , Ahh the good ol' days . :confused:
