The article "Lost Secret of Pistol Shooting: The Crush Grip" by Massad Ayoob, published on The Armory Life, delves into the technique of how firmly one should grip a handgun. Historically, an approach known as the "60/40" rule was favored, where some shooters used 60% support hand force and 40% firing hand force, with variations in interpretation. Ayoob revisits the technique known as the "crush grip"—a hard grip recommended by esteemed shooters like Rob Leatham, Brian Enos, and veterans such as Charles Askins Jr. and Bill Jordan, who notably used a grip that could "crush granite" and advocated holding the handgun as "hard as you can." Ayoob emphasizes that a hard grip eliminates the common shooting error of "milking," where unintended finger movements cause inaccurate shots. The crush grip is described as particularly beneficial for defensive scenarios, enhancing recoil control and gun retention. Ayoob suggests that despite the hand potentially trembling due to adrenaline, with practice, the hard grip becomes second nature, offering greater stability and accuracy during shooting.
