Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most important factor for shooting fast and accurately?

According to Lenny Magill, the way you hold the gun, or your grip, is the foundation and consistently affects sight picture, trigger pull, and overall accuracy more than almost any other factor.

How should the primary hand be positioned on a Glock for optimal control?

Place the meaty part of your palm on the spine of the Glock. This utilizes skeletal support rather than just muscle, providing better control and stability for accurate shooting.

What is the recommended grip pressure for the primary hand?

Avoid a 'death grip' with your primary hand. Maintain a pressure of about 60% to ensure trigger finger dexterity and allow for faster, more precise trigger pulls.

How does the support hand contribute to a stable firearm grip?

The support hand should apply the high-pressure 'death grip,' filling any gaps on the firearm's frame and wrapping firmly around the primary hand to maximize stability and control.
