Rob Leatham and Rob Pincus talk about getting a 1911 grip,
The guys offer up a rundown on operating a 1911 – in this case, the EMP® 4″ 9mm pistol. The key is the draw and subsequent grip, which Rob L. walks through with Rob P. on the range. So what makes the EMP® great for personal defense, anyway?
It’s the reduced circumference of the grip. The EMP is small, thin and flat! This makes it easier to grip for many hands while maintaining that good old 1911 feel and familiarity.
When it comes to learning how to best handle a 1911, Leatham breaks it down to two paramount factors:
- Come down on the gun to depress the grip (avoid the scoop draw)
- Keep the thumb safety on until the support hand is secure
The trick to getting a great grip is consistency in how you first contact the gun…and, its importance cannot be overstressed. After all, a proper grip enhances speed, accuracy and pretty much everything else about your shooting.
If you want a 1911 style pistol for personal defense, you can’t go wrong with an Enhanced Micro Pistol® (EMP®) – and if you learn how to get a proper grip, you can come away from the holster ready to fire accurately and quickly.
