I shoot my 1858 onehanded. I was wondering, what grip style do you prefer for precision when shooting onehanded? I've experimented and experiment with various grip styles for one handed shooting but I'd love to hear thoughts from more experienced single action handgunners.
The "normal" SA grip with fingers on the bottom part of the handle feels the most instinctive and "right" in my hand and the gun rolls up nicely under recoil. Downside is that it's harder to get it consistent every time, and it does tend to land shots a bit higher then the other grip styles.
The "as high as I can manage" grip makes my finger sit at an awkward angle on the trigger, although it's easier to get consistent hits vertically (throws them a bit more to the left side though). It feels a bit awkward, but if I'm careful pulling the trigger it will hit where it's supposed to.
The "pinky under the handle" grip places my trigger finger just nicely and is easier to get consistent and provides more stability, but it also feels a bit strange to my hand and I find cocking the hammer with the shooting hand is just uncomfortable with this grip. If I had a bit larger hands it would be perhaps the best, but that's not something I can change.
What are everyone's thoughts?
