How to Hold a Pistol | Special Forces Instruction
Quoed hereunder:
Hi my name is Pete with Alan's Arsenal and i'm here today to talk to you about one of the more important fundamentals of pistol shooting we're going to go ahead and cover grip with grip myself being a right-handed shooter and I understand with everything I'm about ready to say that everybody is physically the same so with what I am about ready to show you I understand not everybody can physically hold the pistol exactly the same you can make adjustments to it and you'll understand more what I'm talking about as I go along so when you go to hold a pistol what you would want to do is hold it as high as you possibly can if you can truly get behind the barrel that would be the best but what would happen is the slide would come back and injure yourself so we're trying to get as high as possible take your hand go ahead and Shove it up as high as you possibly can behind the back strap of the firearm okay and take your three lower fingers come around to the bottom just like that and you notice how much I'm taking up the grip with my right hand this of course being a Glock 19 bring your three lower fingers around the bottom take your non-firing your hand taking it and rotating it to where your lower part of your knuckle to your wrist is parallel with the slide and come along bring your thumb put it along somewhere on the frame not too where it's going to get injured by this slide as it moves take your other lower fingers and bring them around you take your thumb and either set it off on the top of your firing hand or bring it around to the outside you don't want your thumb up top laying next to the slide to where it might get injured by the slide as it moves also you don't want it resting on
The slide lock so that way when you come to the empty magazine this slide will actually lock back to the rear notice right now how much of the grip that I am holding of the pistol it is totally encompassed as much as possible there's no spot for gaps or anything like that in this area and you'll notice even when after I set the firearm down how my hands are shaped I understand that this is not a natural position as when we all grew up playing cops and robbers things like that we all ran around doing exactly this right here when I'm actually showing you is to take that that non-firing hand put it on an angle it is unnatural but it is going to give you a more stable firing platform while you're gripping the firearm of course while you're gripping the firearm the apply pressure should be from the front of the firearm to the back squeezing it together and then on a sides equal pressure on the sides as Well so that way you're not over pushing forward pushing the gun down pulling back or pushing too little on either side to where the gun might move side to side while pulling back on the trigger
