Handgun grip 101

I was working on a photo blog showing the proper way to grip a handgun, but while I was doing research for it, I saw Handguns magazine already had a page on this topic on their site.

Take a look at http://www.handgunsmag.com/tactics_training/grip_0925/
You can see on that page how to properly hold and fire a revolver and automatic firearm. Its clear, concise and has enough photos to make their points very clearly.

You might wonder "what difference does it make how I hold a handgun?' The truth is it makes a massive difference. Holding a handgun correctly will not only make firing the weapon much more comfortable, but will also improve your accuracy and make follow-up shots much more accurate as well.

Try one of the grips listed on the article above the next time you are practicing at the range. Then try your "regular" grip. A good, proper grip makes all the difference on whether you will hit your target or miss it completely.
