You mean he should be holding it on the barrel?

Sorry I couldn't resist

It’s just a high hold favored by competition shooters. It allows for less muzzle flip and faster follow-on shots. Most regular shooters, myself included, use a more traditional hold.

You do what works for you. No points for style.

The guy in the pic seems to be holding that gun correctly.

Looks like a good grip to me.

Care to enlighten us how that is a poor grip?

The guy holding the gun is doing it right but that fashion faux pas standing next to him deserves to be called out for the socks with sandals violation and escorted from the range...LOL!!!

Now you done done it!

That just another newer stance being used in recent years. The parallel stance is now kaput. The Weaver stance was outlawed ten or fifteen years ago. Whatever you learned back in the military will no longer work; your targets just absolutely will not fall down.

Unfortunately, these competition shooters aren't aware that the newest, kewlest shooting stance is the "Obama" style -- one limp wrist, and one knee pointed inward, while saying "eeeewwwww".

I’m kinda wondering about the spent casings that will fly into the guy standing next to him...

They have the potential to cause an exciting reaction called the “Ohhh, I got a hot casing down muh shirt and its burning muh nipples” dance...

;-)
