Proper grip and positive shooting platform
A proper grip is one of the parts of creating a positive shooting platform (the other is stance). Proper grip and stance help to control firearm recoil and improve accuracy and follow-through. As it pertains to handguns, you begin your grip with you dominant hand. You should grip the handgun with the firmness of a strong handshake. The web of your dominant hand should be as high up on the back-strap of the handgun as possible. Your middle, ring, and pinkie fingers will wrap around the grip, with your thumb and index finger riding high on the frame, just below the slide. Your support hand will come into the grip laying on top of your dominant hand, with your index finger just below the trigger guard. The thumb of your support hand will come in just below the thumb of your dominant hand. This creates as much positive contact with the firearm as possible
