[QUOTE="doctorjj, post: 2765923, member: 7292"] Seeklander didn't explicitly talk about it in the video below, but he did mention that you want leverage behind the gun with both hands and not friction against the grip panels. If you let the weak hand get to far forward, then it is only pressing against the side panel. What Mike didn't explain in this video, but goes to great lengths to explain in his class, is more about the leverage of the weak hand. He shows you how to effectively and consistently get that proper grip. It starts with the driving the strong hand up the grip to get high under the beaver tail, then as you draw you actually flag the strong hand thumb high, this exposes the back edge of the grip for the weak hand to get behind the gun as well, and not just on the side of the grip panel. You index this by the pressure point on your weak hand index finger where it touches the bottom of the trigger guard. This allows you to consistently get that hand where you want it. You "judy chop" from under the gun with the weak hand, feeling for that index point on the index finger. This drives the gun up to your target, as well as let's you build the grip properly without being too far forward (or back) with the weak hand. You need some of the meat of your palm against the back of the grip to get leverage. It's called your thenar eminence. Mike demonstrates this in class very well including shooting the gun with the weak hand only in both positions. With a part of the thenar eminence slightly behind the grip and then again with it too far forward to where it's relying on friction only. The difference in control is dramatic. I can't say for sure he teaches it different than Marshall, but a lot of the pictures and videos I've seen have the weak hand too far forward compared to what Mike teaches. [/QUOTE]
