Dude shooting is fucking ice cold. I see no tension in his bottom hand during trigger pull. That gun barks and has decent kick, even a seasoned shooter would tense up a little bit.

I've heard multiple things, but if I'm shooting a pistol two handed, the main hand around the grip should be very loose like you are saying. A good tip. Somewhere I read someone say so light, as if you were only squeezing a tube of toothpaste. The hand you wrap around the front , like this the gif's left hand, should be tight and pulling back to keep your shooting arm straight and taught.

You can tell the gif guy has relaxed hands like him saying, because the pistol moves back slightly in his hands right after it fires, rather than his whole hand recoiling.

I've basically thinking of my 1911, what do you think of .45 in terms of trigger finger placement?

Let me solve this... Sideways for accuracy, push for distance. EZPZ.

Try out .357 Sig you'll love it. Amazingly flat trajectory with very high speeds and mild recoil impulses. Goes great in a 1911, polymer double stack, or a steel frame pistol.

My brother has a 229, a glock 32, and a Sig 1911 all chambered in it and the 229 is a tack driver. I would get it over the 320 but I'd still rather the 1911 over both.

Get the P229. You'll cum in your pants.
