Grip Adjustments/ Recommendations? (Staccato 2011)

[daylan1924]

I feel as if I have a substantial firing hand grip as far as height to bore, being seated in the webbing of my hand, etc. I just feel that I'm very critical of myself regarding support hand. I have not recorded myself shooting which might be the best medicine, BUT, I'm looking for tips or recommendations on how I know if I'd be on the right track regarding support-hand grip.

 

Mostly, my concern is that my support hand is allowing too much muzzle flip and that I may not be utilizing all the parts of the gun or frame to mitigate recoil. Right now I have a thumbs forward approach. Driving my thumb down into the safety does not feel right (but maybe I should just deal with it).

 

Any broad wisdom to offer me?

Broadly, from the wrists back is where flip is controlled as long as the gun isn't sliding around in your hands when you fire (try some Pro Grip or grip tape if so)

 

Even Broader wisdom: grip more weak hand, grip less strong hand.

basically you cannot control recoil . you can limit the range of motion of the gun during recoil thus allowing faster follow up shots.

 

these 2 videos explain the basics  well;
