PISTOL MARKSMANSHIPPISTOL MARKSMANSHIP
• Proper Grip
• Aiming
• Breath control
• Trigger squeeze
• Target engagement
• Shooting Positions
GRIPGRIP
Your Pistol should be thought of as an extension of your
hand and arm. Using your finger to point at an object
is a good analogy.
ONE-HAND GRIPONE-HAND GRIP
Hold the pistol in the non-firing hand and with the
firing hand form a V with the thumb and forefinger.
Place the pistol in the V and wrap the firing hand
around the pistol. Grip the pistol tightly until you begin
to tremble; relax until the trembling has stopped. At
this point, the necessary pressure for a proper grip is
being applied.
FIST GRIPFIST GRIP
Grip the pistol with the one-hand grip; close the
fingers of the non-firing hand over the fingers of
the firing hand. You should make sure that the
index finger of the non-firing hand is between
the middle finger of the firing hand and the
trigger guard. Place the thumb of the non-firing
hand alongside the thumb of the firing hand.
PALM-SUPPORTEDPALM-SUPPORTED
GRIPGRIP
Grip the pistol with the one-hand grip. Place the non-
firing hand under the firing hand, wrapping the non-firing
hand around the firing hand.
WEAVER GRIPWEAVER GRIP
Apply this grip the same way as the Fist Grip but have
the non-firing thumb wrap over the firing thumb.
AIMINGAIMING
1. Grip the gun properly and at arms length.
2. The front sight post needs to be visually aligned with the rear sight post. The top of the two
site posts need to be on the same level.
3. The gap of light between the sides of the front sight and inside vertical edge of the rear
notch should be equal.
4. After the sites are aligned, you then aim where you want to shoot and fire away!
