In this lesson instructor Cazz Castañeda discusses the recommended two handed “Thumbs Down” grip preferred by military and law enforcement trainers. Topics include

Web-of-the-hand, Managing Recoil, Pressure, Alignment, Trigger Finger, Support Hand, Natural Aiming Area.

With this first fundamental, consistency is the key. By striving to maintain the same attention to each action, muscle memory and accuracy will improve. In other words practice, practice, practice until it is 2nd nature. That is the Mindset we are looking for.
