To this point, for much of my pistol shooting, I adopted a Bob Vogel-style deathgrip; where my elbows would flare out and I would almost visualize trying to press the ridges of my hands inwards.
Lately, I've been experimenting more with the late Ron Avery's "sticky grip"; I'm now trying to press the heels of my palms towards the fingers, if that makes sense.
I'm also knocking the rust off, from 5 years of not having adequate access to a pistol range and incorporating 25 yard pistol shots on a regular basis. Archery has seemingly gone by the wayside, lol.
So I've adopted the grip by a guy named Tony Cowden. Honestly I love a lot of what he preaches. It's no nonsense to the point effectiveness.
Basically you are trying to make a vice at the top of your grip. So imagine grabbing a horseshoe and trying bend it back to straight. Basically pushing the top of your hands together and pulling the bottom apart. Some pressure forward with your strong, pressure back with your support but mostly focused on the vice.
