I don't believe there is a "Proper" grip for firearms.

There are various grips that have been shown to be effective at controlling recoil better for some, and not for others. I've seen people use flagged thumbs who shot better than locked down thumbs and others who shot better with locked down thumbs than flagged thumbs in classes when they tried one from the other.

What's better for you should be the question? Body mechanics, injuries and other physical conditions play a role in resolving what grip is proper for that student.

The fastest revo shooter ever recorded used a locked down thumb one handed [ .40 seconds for 6 shots into a playing card ]. Even Miculek has officially tried to break his record and not succeeded several times.

Must be some serious trigger control going on there to do that with a locked down thumb on a stock DA Smith revo
