PaladinTowerTactics on Nostr: Applying proper grip to a pistol will exponentially improve your ability as a shooter ...

Applying proper grip to a pistol will exponentially improve your ability as a shooter in a fight.

If trigger press is “king” in fundamentals, grip is most certainly “queen.” I see the most issues with grip when students train with me.

In this video the student does not provide a high enough purchase on the back strap. The result is an unnecessarily violent recoil impulse that will prevent her from seeing the sight sooner in a predictable motion. After she was corrected on proper hand placement it helped, but didn’t cure it completely. The one thing she continued to miss, even after this correction, is the proper application of leverage on the pistol. Proper hand placement is half the equation, leverage is the rest of it.

Although grip is not needed for accuracy (that’s all sight picture and trigger press), it is necessary to be repeatedly accurate, which translates directly to fighting with a gun.
