I think you just "dated" yourself. I haven't heard of anyone teaching that method in twenty years.
I can thank MCRD for that. Hell, I even still lace my boots left over right.
I never did understand the utility of the 'gangsta' style hold. Is there something to it that you could enlighten me on? I have noticed that tactical styles now seem to favor holding the weapon in close to the shooter's chest, but they still seem to use the 'dated' grip style.
