Getting the proper grip on your semi-automatic pistol is critical, not just for accuracy, but for your safety as well. A bad grip on your handgun can result in injury to the shooter. The good news is that getting a good grip is a simple manner of learning how to do it correctly, and then building that into your muscle memory. In fact, you don't necessarily even need words to demonstrate the best way to hold your handgun, as Shooting Illustrated's Kevin Creighton and his expressions prove. This super-short video tells you everything you need to know to get a solid, safe grip.
