PISTOL GRIP

Improve your shooting experience with the perfect pistol grip.

A firm and comfortable grip is essential for any shooter, whether you’re an experienced or just starting out. The right pistol grip not only improves accuracy and recoil control, but also improves the overall shooting experience. Choosing the right gloves for shooting is crucial to making the grip even better without compromising sensitivity. In this blog post, we’ll look at the importance of a good pistol grip and how the Masters of Gloves Target Series can complement it.

The importance of a good pistol grip

The pistol grip serves as the interface between the shooter and the firearm, influencing primarily recoil management, but also accuracy. A good grip helps the shooter to shoot faster, more accurately and more consistently. In addition, the shape and texture of the grip can have a significant impact on the shooter’s comfort and confidence during prolonged shooting sessions.

Hand placement

Accurate and consistent shooting starts with gripping the gun correctly. Your hands should be positioned as high on the pistol as possible to allow better control of recoil and muzzle rise. Think of the pistol as an extension of your arm – it should line up naturally, straight from your wrist to the barrel.

Your support hand plays a crucial role in this setup. Wrap its fingers around the front of your main hand, with all four fingers overlapping the lower three fingers of your main hand. This not only improves control, but also ensures that your grip remains stable under recoil.

Pro tip: Never put your thumbs behind the slide! The rapid movement of the slide during firing can cause serious injury. To avoid permanent damage, keep your thumbs safely aligned.

Grip pressure

The secret to consistent shot placement is balanced grip pressure. Your strong hand applies pressure from front to back, while your supporting hand squeezes from the sides. Together, this creates 360-degree stability, keeping the pistol balanced and centred. Uneven pressure – or worse, a weak grip – can push the gun off target, making accurate shooting difficult.
