Thank God, another let handed shooter!!! I thought I was the only one!! That's the grip I use exactly. I have a 1911 .45 by RIA and I ws thinking about some Crimson Trace Laser Grips. well, they don't make them with the laser on the right side of the gun so I wrote them an email and asked that question, someone named Heather said if you don't have a high thumb grip the Crimson trace works just as good for left handed shooters. I just don't see that happening, My thumbs would block the laser.

@confront5 I have had 3 laser grips and it's never a problem in fact it works better because when your finger is off the trigger and on the gun frame it does not block the laser like a right handed shooter does....

[thepostman1]

What do you do if you have really big hands, so that your fingers wrap almost right around the grip with your strong hand, and to get your palm from the other hand down onto the grip, it forces the strong hand off of a firm contact in the web and thus loosens the grip? Do you just place your weak-palm over top of your fingers? Really need help here...hope you can suggest something. Thanks.

@thepostman1 Just wrap your non shooting hand around the other hand

left handed shooters are a dying breed. I'am a left handedshooter and i notice a lack of left handed holsters. Whats up with that. not everyone is right handed. thanks for the vids. btw like your hk vids. p.s. the new hk45 looks badass.

@mannycools Thanks man

@702CitizenArmory Well I carry with the gun decocked and one in the chamber, so it's no big deal to me.

I shoot right handed. I always find that the safety/decock lever on the usp gets in the way of proper thumb placement when it's off safety. When the lever is in the up position (safe) it's not a problem, but you can't fire a gun with safety on lol. Anybody else have this problem?

[furtherfiction]

I agree with that 2 thumbs forward being the best way to shot, the only probably with HK's is if you grip it right handed you have the safety digging into your thumb and your thumb ridding on top of the long ass slide release HK uses which can prevent the release from actually locking back the slide on last round if your thumbs are longer. Makes it very annoying to shot once you start notice it.

I just got some Chip McCormick Comp grips, very slinder, I have small hands and two "bent Pinkey fingers", was born that way. makes it harder to type, and other things, but the thinner grips I got and the grip I learned hear, I haven't been to the range but, so far it feels and looks great. I was thinking about the Lazer Lyte? laser they have for the recoil spring "tube" at the front of the gun, just under the bushing and barrel. they go for close to 400.00 though so, I wont do it very soon.

@confront5 im left handed also, great video

[confront5]

I really appreciate you getting back to me. I was JUST practicing holding my 1911 again, and could kinda see that the thumb on my left (strong) hand could come up a little and it could be worked around. Thank you very much. There is another question they ask how far apart are the grip screws, of course I can measure this but I thought there would be a standard. Richard in Seattle

My husband took me to the fireing range and did really well for a first timer. (i stood in the middle) But this video really helps bc i would lose my grip on the gun a few times. Thanks ;)
