Proper grip for shooting an auto?

I'd never recommend a thumbs forward for revolver..
recognizing this is a worst case scenario...

Dragline,

Pretty good picture of your grip. That is also how I grip the gun. An LEO friend of mine who shoots a lot taught that grip to me. It does work well for me and the picture you posted is just about the best visual aid I have seen on the subject.

Thanks for posting.
 
perazzi, good thing the guy still has a hand. (Bogus picture)!!! But I guess someone may believe its true. haha:D

Not actually me in the photo but I agree it is a good visual reference on a proper thumbs forward grip. I teach this grip to everyone I take shooting, they are amazed at how much it helps with their shooting overall. It not only helps the gun naturally point but is great for recoil control.

Not a bogus picture. Here is another case of where it happened with a 500 magnum. If you really want to see another thumb torn to bits then click away. The gasses that escape from the cylinder gap on large magnum revolvers is enough to cause this damage. I have done this once with a .357 and it burnt my thumb and embedded powder residue under the skin.

well then its not a pic of a shooter who had his thumb behind the slide then from a gun (auto) that not fit his hand. A 500 is a revolver! whole different story!
