I just honestly haven't shot my wheelguns a lot. I'm a 1911 guy mostly myself. But I do so love my Colt Dick Special and my '68 Colt Official Police. Oh yeah, love my dad's '66 Python!
But anyway, I use a standard both thumbs forward not too high grip on my autoloaders. I use virtually the same grip on my Glock too so to keep them similar I don't ride the thumb saftey on my 1911's. I taught myself to shoot using just internet study and copies of the Army Marksmanship guide and Marine M9 manual that mostly has the same stuff in it. I'm pretty decent with my autoloaders after 5 years of practice and I want to get into some competition so I can really get better.
When it comes to revolvers though, I'm not sure how to grip them. If I use the same kind of grip it just feels awkward because of the obvious grip differences between "plow" style revolvers and autoloaders. I guess maybe it is my off-hand that feels awkward? I don't know...maybe I just need to pull the Official Police out of the safe more than once in a blue moon and get some real trigger time behind it? What do you guys suggest?
