Does Clint hold gun right?

Took advice above on how to show picture.

FIFY
I swear, this is the most misquoted phrase of all time!

My vote would go to Bogies, "Play it again Sam". Just because it is 30 yrs older.

The first rule about Hollywood is that you can assume everything about guns you see in movies is wrong. The second rule is that Clint gets a pass on the first rule. Always.

Mr Eastwood gets a pass on all things real and unreal...

Clint is always the man !

I've received a sore thumb of my overhand, a time or two , from gas expelling from the cylinder gap.

Thumb straight under the barrel is, IMO, a better grip for semi auto pistols. The thumb curls downward on a revolver will prevent your thumb from getting jammed again the protrusion behind the cylinder.

The thumb thing - I have no idea but I'm sure it was the fashion at the time and is a reasonable way to shoot a revolver.

Actually, you have to keep EVERY finger away from the cylinder gap or it can blow off your finger (with larger calibers.)

Thumbs-forwards is a big no-no on revolvers and especially on specialty revolvers such as Rhino which shoots off of 6 o'clock chamber where you have to be extra careful about how you hold it. Generally, the thumb goes down on the grip and the support hand goes on top of it with its thumb *also* down. You *could* get away with keeping the strong thumb loose and up in the air, but you wouldn't have the benefit of the weak thumb forward the way you would on a semi-auto.

Miculek explains various grips quite well in his videos. He also talks about an interesting way to hold J-frames which would seriously damage your support hand if you tried it on a semi-auto. You can also see why he bobs his hammers.

The only person allowed to criticize Clint Eastwood is Chuck Norris.

The only person allowed to try to criticize Clint Eastwood is that pansy Chuck Norris.

Hit the Target

Back in the day, shooting instructions taught the correct hold was one handed, arm extended, focus on front sight. Then the Weaver stance became popular. From there we are here today with full Magpul tactical stance.

Funny, there is no right or wrong way, as long as you hit the target.

That's my two cents.

Can anyone comment how he holds his gun?

Haven't taken my formal training yet till I can budget for a class. However, after watching over past month a few dozen expert videos on Ytube I find none agrees with this posture. Specifically, looks to me like his finger joint on the trigger - and not using (as videos say) the middle of the finger tip. And his thumb curled down - not (as videos say) straight under barrel.

If you all find Clint just right, then maybe I should stop watching those videos.

Way works for me - you are talking Clint!!!! I am not going to argue
