How do you hold the Elite Limited?

[BT Sniper]

I have a 40 S&W EAA Elite limited with all the tricks on it short of a scope and want to learn to shoot it well and possibly compete. I haven't shot it yeat, I have enjoyed severial hundred rounds threw my small frame Witness.

Maybe a silly question but I want to learn to hold it correctly the first time, so how exactly do you hold your EAA Elite Limited regarding your off/weak hand index finger and strong hand thumb?

Do you extend your weak hand index finger straight and grip it around the frount of the square trigger guard or do you wrap it aound your grip?

Second question, where do you place your strong hand thumb position in regard to the oversized safty lever? Do you place it on top of, or below the safty lever while shooting?

Is any one way supposed to be better then the other or is it all personal prefrence? What do the experts say?

Last question, is there any shooting to be had in NW Oregon area?

Thanks

Thumb on top of safety.

There are only a few shooters who use the finger on the trigger guard grip (admitedly one is the best in the world)

In NW Oregon there are several clubs that run regular matches you can find dates, location and details at.

I run strong hand thumb on safety, weak hand thumb on frame. I keep my weak hand index finger below the trigger guard, or else it touches my trigger finger and that bothers me.

I'm with Nealio. My Strong thumb is on top of the safety. Eric G rides his weak index finger on the trigger guard, I run mine below the trigger guard. (He wins more than I do)

I run the stock grips, my medium size hands like them.

Thanks Guys. I initiatlly searched google for some pics unsuccesfully, then found some good videos on the subject on you tube. I'll give it some practice and see how things turn out.
