Recently I listened to a podcast with Hwansik Kim, and watched a video on a neutral way to grip the pistol, that meshed with some things I have been doing lately.
The cliff notes version of the podcast is as follows. A natural grip angle allows you to apply the most grip strength without injuring yourself and optimally indexes the dot or sights. Even with pistols that don’t have a natural grip angle, like a Glock, you can grip the pistol in such a way, using a natural grip angle, so that the sights index, and you can apply maximum strength without hurting yourself. If your grip causes you to cam your wrists in an unnatural way, the belief is you can more easily injure yourself.
It turns out that I had already adopted such a grip without realizing why, and it allows me to easily go from 2011 to Glock, and have the pistol point correctly for me. I haven’t had shooting pain forever.
For people shooting 2011 and similar grip angle pistols, there may not be anything to learn. However, if you shoot a Glock grip angle and either have pain or feel like you need to cam forward to make the pistol index properly, it might be worth checking this out.
