- 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!
Clear, concise, and to the point! This one of my favorite channels!
I agree! This video is awesome.
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
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!!!
Excellent block of instruction. Improved my handgun accuracy 10-fold. This man knows what he is talking about, he's lived it.
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!
Best video I've seen on proper handgun grip.
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.
@@MikeM4729 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.
@@MikeM4729 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
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!
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 UA-cam until your nuts have completely removed themselves from your stomach & you don't sound like such a little bitch lol
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".
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
Another great lesson, I truly appreciate all the knowledge you gents are willing to pass on to us. Thank You
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.
Straight forward and to the point. Well done.
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.
Awesome! Straight to the point, no 5 minutes of bullcrap.
Best explanation on the web. Simple, short, and effective. Thanks.
I love that he didn’t start like every damn gun tutorial video (the gun is clear and safe)
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!
Short sweet and to the point. Thanks. I'm usually pretty comfortable with my grip, but learned something on the 2nd/off hand.
Thank you !! As a newbie to guns your solution solved my bad grip !
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.
This is amazing! I can feel my grip and control of the pistol changed dramatically! Thanks for the quick and clear instructions.
Excellent demonstration! Quick and to the point. THANK YOU! You just earned another Subscriber!
Thanks for watching, TR
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.
Excellent video. Fundamentals are always important.
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.
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
My hellcat osp wasn't locking back and this helped me clear up what was happening with my hold
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
Was looking at the rolex for 3 minutes. Thanks for the video
From someone who just went to the range today, I can’t wait to go ba😢and try this grip!
All I saw was a Rolex GMT in this 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
back to the basics i see!! Important to send this to all your new shooter friends
Covered how to grip a semiautomatic excellently,now you should do a video of how to grip a revolver.
I was taught to shoot in the late 80's in Europe. First I was taught to get good results with my right hand. Later I was taught to get the same results with my left hand. I was never allowed to use my other hand for support. My instructors told me that 9mm caliber did not really require a two hand grip. Besides holding a gun with both hands in a critical situation is like being handcuffed.
Hmm. Interesting.
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
Thanks man. Definitely not an intuitive grip, but also definitely feels more secure when I do it.
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
Thanks. Ive just bought an airpistol and I guess this instructional will help me even though the gun isnt as powerful
Can I ask what you bought?
@@silvereagle90000 yes its the crosman vigilante .177/bb 10 shot revolver. Great gun
@@sj460162 I have the predecessor to that. CR357. I put a red dot on mine. I could hit sparrows at 20 yards.
@@silvereagle90000 I really like that gun....i saw the old reviews on it and perfer the look of the gun youve got to be honest but sadly you cant get them now. I do find the first 30 shots odd are the most powerful though!
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.
Nice tutorial and did anybody else notice the pair of sunglasses on the pilings during the beginning of the instruction?
If you are extending the fingers of your non-firing hand they should form a 45 degree angle when fully presented. This is a good way for a coach to see if a shooter has the proper grip.
Thank you for the great tip I recently got cut with the slide pretty bad . Never realized how important hand placement is
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
I tried this method and honestly it will be the only way I hold a pistol because of the groupings and accuracy.
Great video. Helpful even for women interested in guns. It was nice watching it.
Thanks for watching, TR
Good stuff. Right on point with no yadda-yadda. Thanks coach.
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!
I didn't know Nicholas Cage new about guns, btw, great video with clear info, thanks.
Nice GMT
Nice coke.
Thank you for this video, it was very helpful as a beginner!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Perfectly demonstrated!! Great video, Great channel!
Beautiful watch, love me some GMT master II
Holding the gat sideways is more effective as it gives you a clearer field of view and prevents the ejected casings from landing in your car.
Thanks for the tip, we'll add to all our training programs. Thanks for watching, TR
Joey J you forgot about moving the gat back and forth while pulling the trigger helping the bullets exit the gat!
He doe look like Nicholas Cage lol 😂
I like the watch your are wearing! Waiting list every where.
Pete always rocks a Rolex.
Nice watch buddy
I can’t hit the broad side of a barn from inside holding a pistol like that. I have to use what is referred to as “thumbs down” and sometimes outshoot my instructors.
Same here...thumbs down
..always one of best shooters.
.military and police
This guys knickname better be “go ahead” ha. Thanks for the videos
Thats a beautiful Rolex Gmt Master Coke
Excellent video for a beginner like myself! Thank you, sir.
Thanks for watching, TR
Love that watch!
Best firearm safety ever 1:53
lol
Great demo and explanation, I’m going to practice that grip and use it the next trip to the range.
Glad it was helpful!
very useful simple and straight forward.
Watched this for airsoft...
Won the match...
Thanks :D
Simple instructions and thorough,
Honestly clicked for the Rolex and gun combo
Very useful,
Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial appreciate it great job
Straight to the point. Thanx
Thanks for watching, TR
Is it just me or does this guy have some absolutely massive hands
Best video I've seen on this topic.
Thanks for watching, TR
That feeling you get when you got to subscribe... And already subscribed. 😎
Thanks for Posting this ...
nice submariner. good size for you.
I don't agree with this style of holding a pistol to be honest. If you just use your left hand to cup the bottom of your right hand you have a stable platform, recoil control, and you don't have to bend your wrist at an unnatural angle. That also frees your right thumb to not be so close to the slide. But do grab it as high as you can, I agree with that part.
I'm not wanting to argue or contradict, just curious. Have you tried the method in this video yet? If so we're grouping results better or worse? Was the handgun easier or harder to hold? I haven't had a chance to experiment myself.
@@elg1400 People are perfectly welcome to disagree and hold their pistol exactly however they want to, but I never use this grip because I also handle revolvers and this is not compatible with revolvers at all. If you did this holding a magnum you'd blow your thumb off because of the gas released from the side of the chamber when you fire it. So if you want to use this grip for pistols that's totally cool but you will have to learn and practice both grips if you want to work with revolvers too.
@@SeymourKilmore Thanks. That makes sense. I've only shot revolvers a limited number of times and held them the way you described. I also used the same grip for pistols because that's the way I was taught. I was never shown any other way to hold a handgun.
@@elg1400 even soldiers and cops can't agree on exactly how to hold a gun so I'm reluctant to act like there's a perfect "right way" to do it. I've had so many vets tell me "this is the right way to do it", and then show me very different ways to do it lol. My advice, do whatever gets your bullets in your targets consistently.
I’m here bc I have a similar scrape on my thumb the same as his in the thumb nail from shooting my .45 at the range earlier lol
If drawing hands is difficult... It will be more once trying to draw somebody properly shooting
I’m a civilian, but have fired a firearm, obviously, and especially a pistol. I grip it, almost the same way, except my non-shooting hand I hold it almost like I’m holding an apple and clench my fist and I can fire and hit my target with no injury to my hand, andhave mobility when I aim down the sites. But I hold my shooting hand, the exact same way. This guy does it correctly, but I don’t know I’ve seen everybody use a firearm differently, and the only right way, is ways to do it safely. In my opinion. The only way wrong is to accidentally kill somebody that doesn’t need to be killed. That’s just my opinion though on gun safety.
Also, another way the thumbs forward way they say is the worst way. I don’t know who teaches that, but hold your left palm out like you’re going to put a big grapefruit into it then pound it with your other (right) fist. Clenched fist now put into the equation of gripping a pistol placing your right finger on the trigger and aiming down the sides of the barrel. That gives you way more stability than the way this guy does it.
Great basics, which are absolutely essential. Thanks for the video!
thanks, now I can properly use my homemade cardboard pistol that I made when I was like 10
well said, to the point. also train train train, then it will become natural
Amen
Simply: excellent presentation. Thanks!
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
Quick and easy tips and nice watch. thanks
She gets very close but in the video I noticed that her right hand thumb was slightly under her left rear thumb portion of her hand when you want it more of your right thumb over the rear section of your left thumb like more two dogs screwing
Hands are huge. Made the Glock look like a ruger lcp 😂
Nice explained
Nice, very simple and clear
Interesting opening and exit.
Using this to understand how to use my airsoft pistol correctly and fire
Great video strait to the point no BS keep it up👍👍💪💪
