Default J-Frame two hand shooting grip

Saw some recent threads on here regarding how people grip their J-Frames when shooting for best results. I know it's somewhat an individual preference due to hand size and various frame grips available, but this popped up today and I thought it was a very good demonstration for a basic starting point.

Just some suggestions after shooting a few of these guns over several years...

As for grips, the only ones I've found that show any improvement over the ones that come on these guns are much too large and negate a primary purpose of small-frame revolvers: concealment.

The small grips are usually condemned by those who haven't taken the time to get used to them. Our hand sizes are different, granted, but a fair assessment of factory grips doesn't require that much work. They're better than many think.

Regardless of the grips, inconsistent holds won't work with J-frame snubnose guns. A firmer-than-normal hold is required for best results or your shots will be all over the place.

Practice a lot. If dry firing works for you, dry fire. I never had much luck with it.
