TacCon 2026 AAR: Fix Your Grip, Fix Your Shooting
While stance is important in shooting a pistol, I believe the grip is really the foundation that we shoot from. Stance can certainly aid in aiming and mitigating recoil, but you don’t hold the gun with your feet. In my experience, a poor grip leads to more issues with shooting a pistol than anything else, including aiming and trigger control.
Initial Thoughts On 2026 TacCon
The Tactical Conference is a great opportunity to get some training in a staggering number of self-defense topics. It’s also a great reminder that self-defense is for everyone.
Small Guns Suck, Right?
Context is key with pretty much everything. With concealed carry, there’s way more to consider than just “how well does it shoot?” There’s a reason it’s called CONCEALED carry, not SHOOTABLE carry.
Not Your Ordinary Conference
TacCon is the premier training event for everyone interested in personal defense. Founded by Tom Givens over two decades ago, TacCon brings renowned trainers from across the country together in one place for one weekend.
Shooting vs Training
It’s very easy to shoot a couple hundred rounds and leave satisfied that we’ve done some good training. But did you really train, or did you just shoot?
Why We Train
There are numerous reasons we might seek to develop our shooting and martial skills, and personal protection is a common one.
