Hold the gun in the hand (or hands if you prefer) and rest the wrist(s) on the sandbag.

Great tip and I thank you !! ....
This is the way I do it, and it works the same in the field when you use a tree, log, sticks or any other improvised rest. The rest (sandbags) supports ME, not the gun, I hold the gun.

I will caution you, however, when firing a hard kicking pistol, ensure the bags are a little ways up your forearms, NOT directly under your wrists! I got a very painful minor injury when the factory grip of a S&W M629 pinched my hand between its bottom corner and the bag. My fault entirely, for not respecting the big cartridge in a gun with cheesegrater grips!
