Another thing is, when holding the pistol in your "shooting" hand, make sure that the barrel is in alignment with the bones in your forearm. This puts the back strap of the grip firmly into the heel of your hand, and helps with a more secure grip and in managing recoil.

What you DON'T want is to have the backstrap of the grip against the ball of your thumb.

However doing this can be a problem depending on what sort of pistol you are shooting and if you have small hands. If this is the case, I don't know what to advise.

Last week I was shooting with an old friend who happens to have small hands. He could not get his hand around the grips of his Colt Mustang Pocklite, and so the pistol was not supported properly by the bones of his arm. He couldn't hit squat with the pistol. Using the same pistol, which I had never shot before, I could keep a tin can in constant motion at about 25 feet.
