The Thumb Over Thumb Grip.

The Thumb Over Thumb Grip

The first grip we will examine is the simplest one to learn and use. It is called the Thumb Over Thumb Grip and is considered the basic entry-level grip that I recommend for new students and beginners to pistol shooting. It affords comfort and will allow the student to achieve respectable accuracy and speed. It is a typical two-handed Weaver style grip with fingers on fingers and thumbs on thumbs, wrapped around the grip frame. The firing-side thumb rests along the left side of the weapon and the support-side thumb laps up next to it and lies somewhat over the firing side thumb. Both curl slightly forward toward the muzzle end of the weapon. The firing-side hand exerts forward pressure against the backstrap of the weapon and the support-side hand pulls back on the front strap to complete the isometric pressure feature of the grip. This pressure locks the weapon in the hands of the shooter and assists with recoil management when the weapon is being fired.
