I've been practicing drawing my M&P Shield from a conceal carry holster and noticed that my fingers sit a little differently in comparison to what I consider to be my 'ideal' grip. Just a little farther up towards the tips. I figure this is the result of the gun lying flat against my torso, which impedes my fingers from wrapping around it the same way.
It's still a firm grip that seems to work about as well for 'oh ****' point-shooting within defensive range, and I can aim with it just fine, If fact, it feels as though my grip would be perfect if I had a double stack filling up the empty space. But I'm wondering if this is a common experience or if I'm doing something wrong.
Are the pros able to adjust their grip mid-draw? If so, is it okay if you just don't care to train yourself up to that level? Will the boogie man get me?
