Which grip?

[Carbon_15]

Which grip do you prefer and why? I personaly prefer Grip A with the thumbs locked together. I find my shot-to-shot times are faster and recoil control is much improved. When I use grip B, I sometimes interfere with the controles while firing and I'm not as accurate.

Any other grip variations?

 

[Carbon_15]

please excuse the fact that my hands resembles a cross between the Borg and uncooked chicken skin..I have been very ill for the past 2 days.

 

[10-Ring]

I prefer "high thumbs" which is closer to "B"

 

[cratz2]

Something inbetween A and B Strong (right) thumb high with my weak (left) thumb higher still.

Let me try to take a picture.

 

[cratz2]

Something like this. I tend to put the weak index finger forward of the triggerguard but the Taurus/Beretta is just a bit too big for me to comfortably do that. Strong thumb is completely on the grip (not the slide or safety) and weak thumb is pushing slightly on strong thumb.

 

[firestar]

really close to "B"

 

[sanchezero]

B, both thumbs are off the gun and gently extending toward the target.

Helps me stay relaxed and isolate my trigger finger more easily.

 

[boing]

Strong hand like "a", weak hand like "b", but sticky-outy like "c"(ratz2).

Complete, solid grip on the gun with the shooting hand, and support hand thumb doesn't interfere with my trigger finger on smaller guns, cover my thumb on guns with a manual safety, or get cramped during extended shooting sessions.

Took awhile to get used to, but now it's only thing that feels natural.

"B" THERE

"B", so I maintain control of the safety lever ('high thumb').

"A", IME, can cause dropped magazines.

And IMNSHO&E, grip, while 'nice', is NOT the same as sight alignment and trigger control; at times you may have to proceed with the grip you've (barely) managed to acquire.
Bloody / sweaty / wet / bad draw etc...


Your results may vary.

My grip is very close to the A grip.

 

[tlhelmer]

Grip B!

 

[DonGlock26]

A grip for semi-autos. B grip for DA revolvers.

 

[MitchSchaft]

B, it's more comfortable for me.

 

[hansolo]

Like DonGlock said, A (Thumbs forward) on semiautos, and B on revolvers(strong-and thumb locks over weak thumb). I tried A on wheelguns; it just doesn't work for me!

 

[Neal Bloom]

Gotta agree with DonGlock and Hansolo.

 

[Edward429451]

Grip B used to give me slide locked back in the middle of a string with my Glock, so I' modified it to a variant of A and do well with it.

 

[762x51]

I much prefer the A style.

 

[Fair 'n Square]

I use the B style, strong hand thumb slightly angled up, but almost parallel to the frame. Weak hand thumb below it just touching the slide stop, forefinger in front of the trigger guard. Strong hand in tight grip, pushing forward, weak hand fingers pulling back.

 

[Shmackey]

One from column A, one from column B.

Strong thumb rides the safety, weak thumb rides the strong thumb. I could never get comfortable with my weak thumb pointing forward.

 

[WESHOOT2]

Anyone ever study the grip of Barnhart, Jarrett, Avery, Koenig, or Leatham?

 

[MoNsTeR]

I use a grip like B if possible, on some guns you can't really stick your thumb that high so I put it down like in A. The big difference in my grip is that I wrap my support hand further around, so the trigger guard touches between the 2nd and 3rd knuckle of my left index finger. With my hand there, I can usually rest my left thumb alongside the frame or at the top of the front of trigger guard.

 

[BerettaNut92]

I use a high thumbs grip but cock my right thumb down so it doesn't interfere with the slide stop.

 

[wanderinwalker]

My grip mostly resembles A when shooting a Glock or other non-manual safety pistol. Strong hand wraps completely around grip, with the thumb riding in the cutout on the 3rd Gen. Glock frame. I find this gives me the best control with this pistol. When I use a 1911 and ride the safety, I feel as though my recoil control and grip strength are reduced slightly.
