Here are some steps to hold a gun:
1. Place the gun securely into your dominant hand. Spread apart your thumb and index finger.
2. Wrap your middle, ring, and pinky fingers around the grip of the pistol. Your middle finger should rest just below the trigger guard.
3. For the time being, rest your index finger along the opposite side of the gun frame.
4. Wrap your thumb around the grip.
5. Keep your fingers away from the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
6. Keep your wrist straight and firm.
7. Point the gun at your target.
