- Gripping or holding the pistol is one of the more important fundamentals of shooing especially if you have multiple targets. With having a good grip on the firearm you want to hold it tight enough like holding a good firm handshake with someone. You do not want to hold it like your trying to squeeze blood out of a rock. Holding it this tight will fatigue your hand faster and make you have a slight shake. When holding the gun properly with a firm grip it will help you manage the recoil better and also get the gun back on target for follow on shots if necessaryfaster.
In the video I talk about holding the gun up as high as possible, this is because the closer you have the bore line of the barrel with your wrist and into your arm will help you absorb the recoil as the energy of the gun will flow in direct line from the barrel to your wrist and then in to your arms and shoulders.

I was just thinking the same thing...

He’s never let us down
I had the honor and opportunity as a civilian of training and getting some advice from a graduated sniper from the army. This is exactly how he told me to hold my pistol today. Thank you for reaffirming that I need to change my current grip.
I'm very proud of ya.....

Thank you for getting to the point and not wasting anyone's time. Your left hand advice makes good sense.
Glad it was helpful!
I like how you explained where to have your hands, so you don't get injured by the slide. No one else talks about that in all of the other videos I watched.
Clear, concise, and to the point! This one of my favorite channels!
I agree! This video is awesome.
Great demonstration. As someone who hasn't handled a weapon in a REALLY long time, this has really helped me with accuracy at the range!
What type do you have
I don't own a gun, but i'm just here to learn some stuff for later if i get drafted for the army..
Get a gun to protect yourself and others, don't be an idiot with it.
The last draft was 48 years ago.
@@mikemalone4729 maybe but you never know when your might receive a letter or phone call saying your going to war and with the recent news with China I would be ready at any moment
@@HeatherJWilburn thats a huge stretch of the imagination. Plus this is a pistol video.
@@mikemalone4729 right it is a pistol video but stretch’s of imagination can quickly become a terrifying reality think of the veterans of Vietnam one day they were complaining of traffic or bills and the next day their knee deep in a swamp life can change in a instant whether your ready or not
Being a not so great pistol shot by nature, with no ace teacher available, previous, I have made every attempt to emulate the hand stuff I have seen on the vids. Turns out I didn't see what I saw. I searched for proper hand placement and wound up here. I'm eager to put your method into practice. It does feel odd. Can hardly wait to have a go at it.
Super thanks Mr. Rifleman. To you this vid is 3 years old. To me it is as new as 5 minutes ago! Neat!
@nigel thornberry Hiya NH. A frequent question of mine also. It's been awhile. I modified once more after using a practice laser cartridge. Either way, I still need practice. And that's hard to come by these days with the ammo situation. Every little bit of info helps.
Oh my friggin' lord, I did what he said step by step and it immediately felt better from my normal grip. I can't wait to try it at the range. Thank you sir!!!
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching, TR
As a brand new shooter myself I will be practicing my grip (after I ensure my pistol is empty, of course) and return to the range next weekend. Had it at the range today for a short bit and it kept jamming. I knew it was in my grip. After watching this, I’m convinced it was my grip.
Thank you so much for posting this straight to the point, no fluff or filler instructional video!
Best video I've seen on proper handgun grip.
This is the first grip tutorial I've seen that mentions the thumb resting on the slide stop. For a while, I thought my brand new M&P was defective because the slide wouldn't stop back. My instructor even blamed the gun. I finally figured out it was my grip. I'll be trying a new instructor soon. Great stuff!
it's literally an instructors job to make you "not incompetent" wtf dude
Yeah, for sure it's the gun, might aswell buy another one. The instructor knows a good place, low prices!
Another great lesson, I truly appreciate all the knowledge you gents are willing to pass on to us. Thank You
This is an excellent step-by-step presentation. Thank you and everyone behind this channel. This information is helpful to anyone desiring to reduce recoil and increase ability to get shots on the target. Of course, knowing how to sight align goes with this. This channel provides that instruction as well.
Excellent block of instruction. Improved my handgun accuracy 10-fold. This man knows what he is talking about, he's lived it.
This is amazing! I can feel my grip and control of the pistol changed dramatically! Thanks for the quick and clear instructions.
I’ve watched quite a few videos now and this is the one I found to be the best. I just purchased my first pistol and wanted to learn everything I could about how to use it before I even fire it. I wanna start off with the idea on how to do it the right way. This video was short, to the point, and very well detailed, thank you!
Please do not use that weapon untill you know NSPs and have a Weapons handling test.
@@ryangray_youtube8664dude .. please don't comment anywhere on TH-cam until your nuts have completely removed themselves from your stomach & you don't sound like such a little bitch lol
Straight forward and to the point. Well done.
Artist here- this is super helpful, drawing people holding guns is ~rough~ so i have to make my own references sometimes. It was great to NOT have to sit through 10 minutes just to get back to drawing
I actually linked this video to someone when it dropped because he wanted me to take him to the range for his first time shooting, so thank you for this.
I do like how you expressly talk about how it isn't natural. When people are in an actual high stress scenario they tend to shoot one handed because it feels natural to them. The entire purpose of training is so you do it properly without thinking. Doesn't matter who you are, shooting is a diminishable skill. A lot of people have an emotional attachment to their gun (ex: I carry a 1911 because it's a 1911! .45 is bigger, too, so it has to have more stopping power!). They really need to be building fundamental skills, their capacity to stop a threat shouldn't be "because I have a gun".
Short sweet and to the point. Thanks. I'm usually pretty comfortable with my grip, but learned something on the 2nd/off hand.
I had problems holding Glocks, so I personally did a double undercut on the trigger guard, and the gun fits like a glove. I wouldn't recommend doing it or a grip reduction yourself without prior knowledge or someone with knowledge helping you, if not, just pay the pretty penny to have a professional do it and a stippling job.
Let me edit my comment from a simple thank you. I appreciate the video. Being a 53 year old noob to handguns and having spent most of my life with long guns I have a lot to learn. The grip you demonstrate actually feels fairly natural to me. I stayed up late watching videos and handling and dry firing the thing to break it in as it rained all day yesterday lol. Going to give 'er a go today, thanks.
Best explanation on the web. Simple, short, and effective. Thanks.
Excellent demonstration! Quick and to the point. THANK YOU! You just earned another Subscriber!
Thanks for watching, TR
Awesome! Straight to the point, no 5 minutes of bullcrap.
I used your video to teach a facebook community how to proper hold a pistol since there is a discussion about a Danish police officer who held a gun 1 handed and aimed at civilians.
I know how to hold a gun because im a military/weapons enthusiast as i would say, my interest in both is sky high.
I thank you for the quick video and the thumbnail so i can/could show the community how to hold a pistol the right way.
Thank for the clear Demonstration, as a person who never handled pistols before this is a great lesson to learn!
Glad to help
This guy is just shooting while casually wearing a Pepsi Rolex. Absolutely love that😂
Great advice on maintaining the correct grip while firing your gun. Also thanks for your service to this country coming from a family where several served in the military.
Thanks for the support. TR
Game changer. I was taking a more comfortable grip approach, with dominate hand fingers wrapping more of the grip, leaving little room on the left for my support hand. I noticed the immediate change that I’m no longer pointing with my index finger, but rather my thumbs. Can’t wait to try it at the range!!!
Totally cool the way you explained and showed the way should be holding the pistol wrapping your other hand around ..you done an excellent job on this..Thank you so much
back to the basics i see!! Important to send this to all your new shooter friends
This is the best video I’ve ever seen on gripping a pistol. Thank you so much!
I've been shooting revolvers a lot recently and neglecting my semi-autos. Everything is good in terms of accuracy and my recoil control is even better. But my hand placement was poor and I kept getting slide bite. This was the refresher I needed.
Thanks man. Definitely not an intuitive grip, but also definitely feels more secure when I do it.
Perfectly demonstrated!! Great video, Great channel!
Excellent step-by-step presentation. Thank you and everyone behind this channel. This information is helpful to anyone desiring to reduce recoil and increase ability to get shots on the target. Of course, knowing how to sight align goes this. This channel provides that instruction as well.
Thanks for the advice. I've being doing it wrong. This feels better and more secure. Can't wait to get to the range to try it out.
this brings me flashback to my French Dad. He would hold my hands exactly in these positions when I was 7 years old.
My hellcat osp wasn't locking back and this helped me clear up what was happening with my hold
Was looking at the rolex for 3 minutes. Thanks for the video
this was hugely helpful as i prepare to play a cop in a teleseries! thank you for the precision of each detail. i used my children's watergun as a prop. i feel very well prepared. very ready. thank you!
Go get em' barney fife!
I love that he didn’t start like every damn gun tutorial video (the gun is clear and safe)
Excellent video. Fundamentals are always important.
A very good tutorial, that left hand advice is great. Thank you for explaining how not to get hurt by the slide.
Glad it was helpful!
From someone who just went to the range today, I can’t wait to go ba😢and try this grip!
Thank you for the great tip I recently got cut with the slide pretty bad . Never realized how important hand placement is
Great basics, which are absolutely essential. Thanks for the video!
This is the best explanation I have seen.I understood it immediately.Other videos on this aren't as good
Thanks for watching, TR
I do this exact method and knowing I’m doing it right made my day! Thank You Sir!🙌
You're very welcome!
great viideo, just started shooting, thankful for every advice, although I have a private instructor, I really love your videos, learned much
Good stuff. Right on point with no yadda-yadda. Thanks coach.
All I saw was a Rolex GMT in this video.
Thanks for the video and straight to the point information. Some day it will come in handy
Just received my first firearm today and already learned the proper grip!!
I appreciate the tips Ranger Cage
Beautiful watch, love me some GMT master II
This is how we got taught in the cpl class I took. It does feel weird at first.. My grouping was the best its ever been.
Excellent. Thank you for these videos.
bob vogel has a great video on grip that helped me alot. It's exactly everything this video said But goes into more detail
Bob Vogel is good people. Thanks for sharing. TR
I am very excited about getting my new pistol.
It's so nice learning from someone who also shots right handed
Simply: excellent presentation. Thanks!
Thank you for this video, it was very helpful as a beginner!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Well done with the instruction. Thank you.
I'm going to try canting the support hand down. Never really did that but it makes sense. Good video
Thanks for Posting this ...
You did exactly what I wanted to see. Great instruction. Thanks
Thanks for watching, TR
Quick and to the point...awesome
With Great Grip comes Great Recoil Management.... I really like how he starts off with not everyone holds the pistol the same and you can make adjustments. Master the fundamentals.
Excelent video as always!
Excellent video for a beginner like myself! Thank you, sir.
Thanks for watching, TR
Phew. I'm going shooting for my second time today, my first having been in conjunction with the initial lesson. I surprised myself then that I was more accurate than I assumed I'd be, but, in nine days I have lost all confidence that I will even be able to hold the gun correctly - and I was right. Thanks for this simple helpful video. Now I remember.
Glad it helped
Quick and easy tips and nice watch. thanks
Great video strait to the point no BS keep it up👍👍💪💪
very useful simple and straight forward.
Best video I've seen on this topic.
Thanks for watching, TR
Simple instructions and thorough,
Thank you so much for this video...additional knowledge and very informative...I love your niche and content I will follow your channel from now on...xoxo
You are so welcome!
This video hits the spot.
Thanks. Been shooting like this for the past two years because of this video. Came back to say thanks. ✌🏾
Thanks for sharing, TR
Nice, very simple and clear
Great video, very unnatural - thank you for not down playing that! 1st attempt, extremely odd - 5th attempt, perfection. I don't even remember how I was holding it prior, this feels outstanding!
Great job!
Haha. You answered my question in your video description. Shows I should RTFM first. Thanks.
And a follow up comment. My SAI back in the 80's was with the 10th SFG. He always believed that one of the most important roles of SFGs was as teachers/instructors. Nice to see you gents maintaining that tradition. Thanks.
Great demo and explanation, I’m going to practice that grip and use it the next trip to the range.
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial appreciate it great job
Thanks for the tips and thank you for your service!
You bet!
great job Alan!
Great video. Helpful even for women interested in guns. It was nice watching it.

Good Video, like the showing thumb off to the side. Thought I was doing it wrong but was comfortable and quick that way for me, thanks for clarifying for me, that it is OK.
Thanks for watching, TR
Being a bit older I had to work at unlearning shooting techniques that we were taught years ago- weaver specifically - to become more comfortable and efficient at this Isosceles techq. Squaring up to the target as opposed to blading your body changes everything
I’d humbly add one little tip that helped me - We would grip the pistol so the barrel would follow the axis created by connecting the points: shoulder, elbow, wrist, target.
Shooting isosceles with the old hand position I would always end up hitting left and low of the target.
Now I cant my grip so the barrel is a few degrees to the right (as a right handed shooter) to align with the new axis: sternum, hands target. It was a very small adjustment it made a big improvement. Thanks
Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching. TR
Very useful,
Thank you

I like the watch your are wearing! Waiting list every where.
Pete always rocks a Rolex.
