Go easy on me...this is only my second post
It would be interesting to hear some opinions on this topic. Perhaps there is only one right answer…
I was listening to a firearms podcast today and one of the questions that were sent in to the host was. “What size Backstrap should you use on your handgun”?
Well most people might shot out….”the one that feels the best” but is that true?
Option 1: Should you use the smallest one that allows your strong hand to fully wrap around the grip and gives you a great feel and grasp, but leaves no room for your support hand to take up on the other side of the grip panel and leaving only the ability to wrap your support hand fingers around your own strong hand.
Option 2: A larger Backstrap that doesn’t offer you a full grip, but leaves the necessary gap on the other side of the grip panel to place the palm of your support and allows you to apply an equal hand crush grip with both of your palms.
I would think Option 2 makes the most sense and the one I prefer to use.
BUT I’m also thinking if I could only use one hand in a self-defense situation. Maybe the support hand was holding onto a child or I sustained an injury … maybe the full wrap around grip would be a great option and best for dealing with one hand shooting and recoil with multiple shots…
Any Thoughts…
