This guide details Scott Jedlinski's 'Wave Concept' for building a consistent and reliable handgun grip. It emphasizes using tactile reference points, specifically the middle finger, to ensure proper support hand placement. The technique focuses on creating torque through a specific hand motion for optimal recoil control, rather than overtightening the grip.

Quick Summary

Master a reliable handgun grip with Scott Jedlinski's 'Wave Concept.' This technique uses tactile indexing, specifically the middle finger, to ensure consistent support hand placement. By driving the support hand up and through the firing hand, torque is generated for optimal recoil control, avoiding overtightening and promoting joint flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Wave Concept' for handgun grips?

The 'Wave Concept' is a grip technique where you drive your support hand up and through your firing hand, creating torque to lock the gun in place. It emphasizes using the middle finger as a tactile reference for consistent support hand placement.

Why is using the trigger guard a bad reference for grip?

The trigger guard is not a reliable tactile reference point because you cannot consistently feel its exact position. This often leads to a poor grip with inconsistent contact, hindering proper control and recoil management.

How does the 'Wave Concept' help with recoil management?

By creating torque and locking the gun firmly into the hands, the 'Wave Concept' allows for better recoil absorption. Gripping 'up' rather than 'out' also maintains joint flexibility, further aiding in managing muzzle rise.

What is the recommended tactile reference for the support hand?

The recommended tactile reference is to use the index finger of your support hand to find the middle finger of your firing hand. This ensures your support hand is consistently placed high and tight against the pistol's frame.
