5. Proper grip
Provides the shoulder with maximum control of the
weapon. The most important feature of the grip is
uniformity. To maintain a natural sight alignment ,
the shooter must hold the weapon firmly. He must be
able to apply positive straight to the rear pressure on
the trigger that will not disturb the sight alignment
when the hammer falls.

Methods of proper grip for handguns/rifles
a. Pick up the pistol/ revolver with the non- shooting arm
by the barrel end of the slide and keep muscle down.
Rifle should be picked up through the handle by the
non-shooting arm.
b. Spread the index finger and the thumb of the shooting
hand apart to form a V with the thumb held slightly
lower than the index finger. Push the web or V of the
shooting directly under the grip safety. Do not roll
them.
PRINCIPLES OF MARKSMANSHIP
Methods of proper grip for handguns/rifles
c. Wrap the 3 lower fingers around the gun and should exert equal
pressure, straight to the bottom of the V. The heel of the
shooting arm should be well up on the main spring housing.
d. The thumb should exert very little pressure to tighten the
muscles. Controlling the thumb will cause some tightening of
the muscles.
e. Placement of the trigger finger should be where it falls naturally
on the trigger. This is usually at the tip and first joint of the
trigger finger. Regardless of hand size and finger length, the
shooter should always apply pressure straight to the rear.
