The way the shoulder is constructed it is more natural and stronger to cant slightly, it's what your shoulder 'wants to do'. I allow the cant at close range but have the gun vertical for longer ranger or more precise shots.

Basically so it recoils into your COM instead of potentially up and away. Makes sense and I do shoot it better that way on the clock |

Many have used the cant technique, which I use to use. A while back someone showed me a different technique that involves rotating the elbow down, with the inside of the bend in your arm facing straight up. It controls the recoil better, and I've never consider switching back. It takes a little practice, and may not feel right at first, but it works very well.

SHO: No cant.
WHO: Some cant since it feels more natural. Saul Kirsch recommends no cant. I tried it but it just feels fucked up. Plus my shoulders are trashed.  Saul Kirsch on Strong and Weak Hand |

Canted seems to aid in recoil control for me. YMMV.

Shooting weak hand canted can help in several ways:
#1 Prevents limp wristing. Better grip helps those with less strength. Especially with girls. #2 Canting the pistol sights towards your dominant eye is helpful for getting a good sight picture. #3 Recoil control. |

Canting keeps the wrist in a position that keeps it straight and keeps the recoil from pushing the gun straight up.
Try your wrist straight and move it up down like the recoil would do..feel how easy it easy for your wrist to move up and down. repeat with the wrist canted... wrist is much stronger and more difficult for the recoil to flip the muzzle up. |

For closer shots it doesnt really matter; for distance it is better to keep the gun vertical since it gives you more available target area and its how most peoples are used to aiming the gun for precision hits.

Spend some time in the knuckle pushup position- see which one causes less tension in your shoulder. Less tension = better movement.
Close to the body- right out of the holster the cant may be a lot less or even visible, as you extend you should see it more. Work slow and watch for tension, then find ways to reduce it. |

My experience being a long time competitive shooter, who had the good fortune to train with world class shooters from all walks of life. |
