Gripping The Handgun & Maintaining Control During Firing

I am not a shooting instructor of handguns, but I've have found out which works best for myself.

One the most important things for me is a a low bore axis, which equates in the middle of the bore placed above the firing hand as you maintained your grip.This also places the bore in close proximately and alignment with your shooing arm, which greatly reduces recoil, muzzle flip, helps improves accuracy and the control of the weapon, from one shot to the next.

The Axis Of The Bore

Next, I'll will talking about Grips, Pistols, and Revolvers.

Because most Revolvers have a High Bore Axis, This is very important to place your shooting hand as close to the middle of The Bore Axis as possible. This is accomplished by using the Opened Strap Grips, where Frame's Back Strap is exposed.

This S&W 640 Centennial is a good example of a Revolver that does not have a exposed hammer, which allows the shooter to have a much higher grip.

Perhaps the most ergonomically designed pistol in The History of This Nation, is the 1911, which gives reasoning and logic why so many manufacturers relies on it's popularity among shooters and enthusiasts . Because of it's Low Bore Axis, the 1911 pistol is my choice as the yard stick to which all others are measured by. The up swept beaver tail safety also adds to the pistol's ergonomically design.

That hammerless looks like it would sit very low in the hand as well.

MLB; The reason that I chose to use this revolver, is the fact it don't have hammer, which allows for a much higher grip. With the fully exposed back strap and the lack of the hammer, this revolver allows for the grip to be closer to the bore.

Remember this; Using a High Grip equates to bringing the Shooting Hand Closer with The Axis of The Bore. If it is done right, it will be like pointing your index finger on the target.

Many of us might already know this, but for others, I thought this bit of information might be helpful.
