Is it correct to obtain the primary grip after drawing the weapon while aiming at the target?

• A. True
• B. Sometimes
• C. False
• D. Not sure

Answer: (C)

False. You should establish a solid firing grip during the draw, before you bring the sights to bear on the target. By obtaining the primary grip as you present the weapon, you gain immediate control, reduce muzzle wobble, and improve trigger control once you have sight alignment. If you wait to form the grip while aiming, sight picture can be disrupted, presentation becomes slower, and handling becomes less stable, increasing risk during the transition and potential unsafe directions of the muzzle.
