The key to surviving a gun fight is to lean into it and move.
A lot of people tend to lean back when shooting a handgun. Don’t.
Leaning forward gives you better control over the gun when it’s fired and the recoil is pushing it back at you, with that whole muzzle flip going on.

Try to remember to “lean forward and move”.

By all means, practice shooting off-balance.
But make leaning forwards your default stance.
