Can't find a posting on grip of handgun
Someone posted on when the group is off dead center how to change your improper grip. Tried the "find option" but couldn't come u with it. Can anyone help me locate that posting?

That chart was originally designed for one-handed, slow fire bullseye shooters.
Honestly, it’s worthless as a diagnostic tool outside it’s original, sole-purpose intent.

Not sure what you shoot, but here’s Jones’ thoughts on grip pressure as it relates to a Glock.

Yep.

And for the visual types... Do you shoot your handguns like in this photo? If so, that oft-reposted chart has some merit. Otherwise, not so much.

They are common crutches used by folks looking for a hardware solution to a software issue. It isn't about seeing a result and applying a solution, it is about understanding the solution and how to correctly apply it

both grip and where you place your finger on the trigger are vital.... I think that chart is correct to a degree but because their are numerous variable with shooting a pistol it's hard to narrow it down to just one thing causing the problem.

As a side note, one of the items that helped me see how grip and finger placement effects your aim is a red dot not he pistol.... you can actually see the point of impact move as you squeeze the trigger.
