Grip Establishment From Various Gun Locations
One way to have the strong hand high on the pistol is to grab the pistol with thumbs over the sights. This works particularly well when the pistol is tight to your body such as a concealed holster.
[op_liveeditor_element data-style=””][text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left”]Your method of establishing your grip must be robust so you consistently establish the exact same grip when you draw from concealment, draw from an open holster, withdraw the pistol out of a gun safe, or simply grab the pistol off of a table on the range.
Generally speaking, our techniques must be robust. All of our techniques cannot be “finicky”, meaning, only working in a very sterile and prescribed set of circumstances. In the bigger picture, we always have to think about how our techniques can be employed in different, and diverse circumstances. Always challenge your techniques in different, uncomfortable and probable environment to unearth any issues.[/text_block][/op_liveeditor_element]

Next Up: Validate Your Grip with Live Fire
- All guns are always loaded. Treat the SIRT like a live fire gun.
- Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
- Be sure of your target and what is beyond it. Have a good ballistic backstop when training. So just in case some how a live fire gun got in your training space, a bullet will be caught where you are training.
