Gripping the Pistol

Your grips must provide you with firm purchase on (and good control of) the gun, and must be comfortable. Many grips are adjustable so you can customize the fit to your hand. This is very important, since you will be shooting with only one hand, and must be able to hold the gun steady.

Your grip must also be consistent, because the slightest variation in the strength of your grip may cause substantial loss of accuracy.
