In the book "The Pistol Shooter's Treasury" (hard to find now), the recommendation was that a full box of hardball would cure any flinch. I tried it, and it worked (Les Baer 1911), but towards the end of the box I was getting bored - so I took five magazines and loaded a different number of rounds in each. I tried deliberately to not pay attention to when the magazine was out, so I would attempt to fire when the gun couldn't shoot. By the time I went home, the flinch was gone, and my hands were tired.

With the 52, I had two reloads that didn't fire - at least not until the second attempt. The gun went [click] instead of [bang], and I was pleased to notice the gun didn't move at all.


"Cal-Grip" ?? I need to look that up.
