Handgun Safety Course

We all love a good two-handed grip on our gun. We use that two-handed grip to maximize control, accuracy, and recoil management. It’s optimistic to assume that a two-handed grip will always be available and we aren’t in the business of optimism. We are in the business of preparedness, and in that realm, we must consider situations where you only have one hand available. Sharpening skills with one hand, both dominant and support hand, will make you a much better-prepared shooter.
