I almost hold of that way but instead of two fingers on the trigger guard I got one because I have a Taurus G3 C and getting all my fingers underneath the trigger guard feels like they are slipping off tge other fingers and I cannot get my palms up against the gun as good . And my 2 fingers don’t fit underneath it so well but one finger used as a hook on the trigger guard does great for me its very comfortable to squeeze in with my palms when that combined with the isometric pull I can control the recoil more accurately with that one finger up higher to my bottom three fingers on my left dominant left hand can really squeeze in on my other fingers and squeeze palms together well while that one finger helps keep gun from rising up on recoil . Traditional grip works good but I found this great works better for me. However with a larger gun traditional grip works better but with this smaller compact The index finger works better for me for some reason.

When Lena was a child Eric Grauffel and others have been shredding with this grip. It's not unique to Lena, but if anything, it's a testament to her skill and experience, that she came to the same conclusion on her own that other great shooters were already doing.

Thanks! A few decades ago we were calling your new grip "the normal grip." We did it with success for the reasons you list. What you call "traditional" is a relatively new idea that someone dreamed up and convinced a lot of people that it was the right way. People at matches like to poke fun at my grip which is the same as yours. They don't point it out so much when I eat their lunch, which is regularly. Thanks for allowing new shooters to try the "normal grip."

That cringe worthy thumbs forward grip like you are smashing a pancake with both hands and rolling your wrists down is worthless and incorrect. The engineers designed the pistols to use the "wedge hold" or one like she is using here. Massad Ayoob still uses it as well. It's checkered and notched for a reason. Trying to circumvent engineering design is idiotic because "it's my way or the highway". Your thumbs aren't supposed to be flush up against the slide slowing the cycle speed down or interfering with it's movement. You aren't supposed to be accidentally hitting the magazine release, slide stop, safety, decocker or any of that. Still...MOST of these people insist we are doing it all wrong. I've been doing this for 41 years. I never saw anybody shoot with the modern thumbs forward grip until around circa 2004/05. It's spread like wildfire since then and is akin to the second coming of Christ now. It's not comfortable at all and most your pinpoint accuracy is now gone. These days you have all these tools shooting fast at large steel plates at very close range with 9mms and barely nicking the far leading edges. Then you see Bullseye Comp guys shoot 1911 .45s ONE HANDED and put all their shots into dead center in a hole no bigger than a quarter. This "modern" technique is incorrect and WRONG. I will argue against it and despise it until the day I die. If you can't shoot a larger caliber effectively or need to "get rid of a gun" because of your technique well then the technique is WRONG! If you really want to knock the wind out of these people hand them a revolver and tell them to pull that crap with that like you do a modern semi-auto striker fired polymer 9mm. If it's a .357 Magnum or .44 Magnum you will surely DROP that revolver upon recoil or you won't be able to hit a darn thing with it effectively. Their argument is always "equipment and techniques change and advance". That is code word talk for (I am a nOoB amateur and I want to be a expert before I deserve to be one).

@@Tinker.Studio it actually has a lot to do with accuracy. If your trigger press is anything but perfect you'll inevitably move the muzzle a bit while pressing the trigger which will results in poor accuracy of your shots, especially if you have a bad grip which doesn't limit the movement created by the trigger press. With a great grip (control) small imperfections in trigger press will not result in big deviations at the muzzle thus improving accuracy of your shots. Think of it like this - put a bench with a vice and your pistol in it on a shooting range and squeeze the trigger anyway you want - the gun will not move and the shots will go exactly where your aiming.

I greatly appreciate your open-mindedness and courage to explore different, if not novel applications beyond what is traditionally accepted. The bottom-line with shooting well is that the shooter has to establish and sustain the weapon system's muzzle-breech alignment, on target, in whatever operational context (competition, combat, target practice) the shooter finally breaks her or his shot. It really doesn't matter how, only that the shooter achieves that goal. You do that perfectly with your "Sloth Grip." Great job, Kiddo!

Another great example of doing "what works for you". I can not shoot fast with the usual shooting stance taught where you have both arms locked out. I can shoot accurate but not fast, whereas with the weaver stance I shoot fast and accurate. For me that opposing "push-pull" pressure applied with the weaver grip/stance provides a more stable platform, keeping my pistols on target for faster follow up shots.

In wrestling (also BJJ), there's the Gable Grip (developed by the legendary American Gold Medalist Dan Gable). In the Gable Grip, you keep the thumbs forward -- you don't lock them over the the fingers like many traditional grips. This allows -- or rather -- requires you to use more of the shoulder and back muscles and rely less on wrist and forearm strength. The "Lena Grip" shares some similarities with the Gable Grip. Doing that is going to transfer the some of the load from your wrists and forearms and to your shoulders, back, and structure. Pretty cool! I think you've hit upon something mechanically very sound.

I use that grip with my .45's especially the Glock 30 which isn't much larger than the little Glock 26 . I always enjoy your programs .

I didn't start shooting regular 90s until I learned NOT to GRIP the pistol. Just to slot it into a soft, squishy, sticky pocket made by my hands. As soon as I start tightening a grip I start healing or anticipating and the numbers go down. I did try your two finger grip and may go back to it. Especially with your demo here. It is the pushing to get the palms to squish.

Great videos as always. I always wondered why trigger guards were squared and serrated. Standing on the shoulders of giants...

I noticed your dad places one finger on the trigger guard when he shots semi-autos, but has all his fingers beneath the trigger guard on the revolvers. This is interesting. I'll try this to see how it works for me, then may incorporate this into my training. Thx, young lady. We should be never too old to learn new things.

This is very similar to how I grip because I have poor grip strength due to a connective tissue disorder. So I got creative. Very cool!

If it works for you then go with it. If I've learned anything in life it's what works for most isn't what works for all. Actually had a heated discussion with a trainer that said I was holding my pistol wrong till he saw my groups.

Simply brilliant! Thank you Lena! I work with some female shooters and this makes sooo much sense and has really helped not only them but I'm a pretty stocky guy and I love using it with my X5. When done right - it just adds to my control. Again, thank you - it's amazing how something so simple can make all the difference. Also , can you get any frkn cuter! Bringing a whole new level to the term dead sexy! Take care.✌

John Lovell of Warrior Poet talked about a similar principle of using the index finger of the supporting hand as a hook to be able to pull the trigger guard and pivot the rest of the hand into the side of the gun.

Trying new things is good advise. Everyone is a little different and with Sig's high bore axis this could help a lot of other shooters that may have overlooked Sig for this reason.

This looks like a hybrid of what Mas Ayoob refers to as the wedge hold or wedge grip, and the older style of grip for guns with shorter trigger guards, where the index finger of the support hand wraps around the front of the trigger guard. I think I'll experiment with this grip when I go to the range later today.

I cannot wait to try this. I’d love to see someone design some sort of low profile “gas pedal” of sorts to complement this grip. Maybe even just something to bump your hand out from the slide an 1/8” or 1/4”. Thanks for the wisdom Lena

Next time at the range I will see if that works for my groups. As I have gotten older I have noticed my upper body strength isn't what it used to be. Thanks for the tip.

Your dad must be very proud of you. He is very entertaining to watch he seems like an amazing guy and I hope he doesn't get mad at me for paying you this compliment. You are a very nice looking woman with great talent. Do you ever shoot competition with your dad. ?? Stay safe and stay strong.

Thanks for sharing! As an older shooter, I too do not have the upper body strength that I use to. My grip is the conventional thumb forward on the support hand which puts it right on top to the take down lever. After a few hundred rounds this would really wear out my thumb and it was very uncomfortable. Regrettable so much so that I sold my P320 XCarry. Gee, I wish I had seen this sooner.
