As a matter of habit, I grasp every handgun that I fire in the same way—as high as possible to get my hand as close to the axis of the bore I’m able. This high grip lessens the gun’s leverage on my hand at the instant it fires; therefore, felt recoil is reduced. In a semi-automatic pistol, your ability to do this is invariably limited by the tang at the top rear of the grip. Nevertheless, shooter’s should get as high as possible on the grip. Revolvers are a little different. The rounded handles of most single-action revolvers is such that you can get a very high grip. This is good for recoil control, but make sure the hammer can still be easily cocked. Where double-action revolvers are concerned, a high grip is beneficial in that it provides better leverage to stroke that long trigger pull. Regardless of the type or style of handgun, a high grip is beneficial for shooting. Try it and see what you think.
