10 Tips For Improving Your Handgun Grip 

The Firearms Trainer

Top 10 Handgun Grip Tips to increase Accuracy 

1. Ensure a firm grip on the gun with both hands, using your dominant hand to hold the gun and your non-dominant hand to support it.

2. Position your dominant hand high on the backstrap of the gun, keeping your grip as high as possible to reduce recoil.

3. Keep your fingers off the trigger until you're ready to shoot, and always maintain trigger discipline.
 4. Apply equal pressure with both hands to prevent the gun from shifting during shooting.
  5. Make sure your thumbs are pointed forward and not crossed over each other to avoid interference with the slide.
 6. Maintain a consistent grip pressure throughout your shooting session to improve accuracy.
  7. Practice dry firing to perfect your grip without live ammunition, focusing on proper hand placement and pressure.
 8. Experiment with different grip styles and stances to find what works best for you and your shooting technique. 
9. Seek professional training to receive personalized feedback and guidance on improving your handgun grip.
 10. Remember to always prioritize safety first and continuously practice and refine your handgun grip technique. Thanks for watching! Don't forget to subscribe to our channel for more tips and tricks on mastering the basics of shooting.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
