Grip technique summarized

Basics of grip placement, pressure, and the goal of training your grip on a pistol

[@moalal95]

I love these types of videos. 5-10 minute videos briefly explaining techniques and principles on shooting. Would love to see more content like this! Keep it up!

[@JustinV911]

I think of all of the grip videos I’ve seen on the internet, this is straight forward and covers all the key points, and some valuable points not mentioned elsewhere. Thanks for this !

[@Pj-vw5vg]

Finally, someone help me figure it out. After all the videos I’ve watched. Thank you would love to see more videos.

[@douggr1000]

I have noticed in your videos that it looked like your support hand was lower than what I've seen from others. Makes total sense though! I'll play around with that technique and see how it works out.

[@shookme6727]

Interesting, I don't think I've heard it demonstrated like that with a little lower support hand placement but it makes sense. I'll have to try it out, thank you!

[@Glonk_Respecter]

Pure gold. Appreciate it Mason!

[@jdouguspsa]

we need the podcast bro!

[@tonyvillena1293]

Thanks for sharing this. Going to give it a go and see what happens

[@eddiepereira9628]

Thx you for these videos.

THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION I WILL TRY IT OUT MY NEXT TIME AT THE RANGE

[@uncleB1972]

Thanks Mason. Hope all is well.

Sick

[@IterativeOptimization]

Appreciate the thorough explanation. Does that mean during the draw cycle, you're contacting the support hand palm first and wrapping the fingers around rather than contacting your index finger under the trigger guard first and then completing the grip?

[@masonlane2030]

In terms of the order of operations, no probably not literally. But my attention is on getting the palm position correct above all else. If that happens the rest will fall into place

[@IterativeOptimization]

@@masonlane2030Awesome, appreciate the tip!

[@JustinV911]

@@IterativeOptimizationthanks for asking the question, I had the same thought !

Mason this is great but where podcast?? (On spotify please)

[@masonlane2030]

Dude I suck

Pressure on the back of a grip with support hand is something that Ron Avery/TPC called a quarter panel technique. I wonder if it is necessarily mutually exclusive to do that and keep support hand high on the gun.

[@masonlane2030]

Probably not, I just don’t think high support hand provides any benefit for its own sake

[@cct125us2]

Funny who you find on the internet.

[@YVK_]

Shooting world is not too big. Even smaller is the world of instructors who are worth listening to. Mason is one of the few.

[@markcromeyer1652]

Love your nonsense videos

[@byronh77]

See I’m a high grip guy…… I can appreciate your logic and explanation of why you prefer the low grip. Ultimately it’s a personal choice for your hand size that will often dictate which route you go, and the instruction that you receive from an instructor. I personally cringe whenever lm at the range and see people practicing with the low thumb grip, because l look at the targets from some shooters who use that type of grip, and often they look like Swiss cheese. No tight groups. Because to me it looks like their grip is breaking down after each shot. Because their support hand is too low. Or if people, run that double thumb Israeli grip. Same thing……the support thumb is crushing the other thumb. Which seems pointless to me. But l guess to each their own, for me personally l can’t hold on to the gun well enough to manage recoil, with thumbs forward lower on the frame as opposed to high on the slide. I get the meat of my support hand as high as l can on the slide, with both thumbs forward as you did at the end of the video. but your can instructor and l am not……so l respect the knowledge and guidance that you provided in this video.

Have you tried Grauffel’s method for gripping the gun? If so what are your thoughts and why did you use this technique instead? My grip is very similar to yours.

[@masonlane2030]

I’ve heard a lot of interpretations of what he does. The part of his technique I’m definitely borrowing is keeping the support hand wrist angle neutral as possible, I’m just not doing it with a finger in front of the trigger guard (because the TG is too long for me to reach on the p320)

[@the.albertan]

@@masonlane2030 mostly what I’m referring to is his idea on where pressure should be. In our calls and in his pay walled videos he prefers a push/pull method where the grip pressure is almost entirely on the front and back straps with very little coming from lateral grip, ie grip panels. Was very surprised when I learned that as it went against everything I’ve ever heard.I’m played around with it but not enough to compare against what I’m currently doing.

Rapid fire?😤😉
