Frequently Asked Questions

What is the correct way to hold a Glock pistol for beginners?

For a proper 'master grip', place your dominant hand high on the backstrap, close to the beaver tail. Wrap your non-dominant hand firmly around the dominant one, ensuring both thumbs are parallel to the slide. Keep your trigger finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.

Common mistakes include holding the pistol too low on the backstrap, resulting in a loose grip, and keeping the trigger finger on or inside the trigger guard when not actively aiming. Both issues compromise control and safety.
