As the construction and methods improve, the ergonomics also improve. So while the technology of firearms has advanced, from that old crossbow, to match lock, wheel lock, and flint lock firing mechanisms, to cased ammo, hammers, and now striker fired weapons, the technology to support it has evolved also, from a basic stick, to metal, to fiberglass and plastic, and eventually to the modern high strength polymer construction used today. Once upon a time, even pistols didn’t have pistol grips. As construction methods and materials, and the weapons themselves improved, so did the grip portion of rifle and pistol stocks. Using a pistol grip stock made out of just wood, would probably be very fragile. Some of that is due to the construction materials that were available at the time. It was a long, slow evolution from what you see pictured above to the modern pistol grip you see today. In order to apply enough force to release the trigger, you needed leverage. Some of the very first trigger operated weapons were ancient crossbows, and the trigger mechanism was a large awkward lever. So why aren’t all rifles and pistols like that? Basically, they evolved, and are still evolving. You will notice that is is not as natural, as your wrist is not as comfortable this way.įor rifles with a pistol grip, it is easier to pull the stock into your shoulder, and get a good snug consistent cheek to stock fit. Rifles without a pistol grip tend to be held like this. Notice that the pipe is up and down, perpendicular to the ground, not parallel to it. How are you holding the pipe? Chances are you are holding it similar to this. Hold it in the way that is most comfortable to you. Get a short stick, or piece of pipe, and with one hand, hold it out in front of you with your arm fully extended. So why do I prefer a pistol grip? Here is an exercise I want you to try. If you prefer standard rifle stocks, stay with that. I am not trying to convince anyone to change from what they are comfortable with. Some gun enthusiast purists may disagree, and prefer a rifle without a pistol grip. Chances are that a pistol grip is more comfortable for you as a shooter also.

A pistol grip is much more comfortable and natural for me. It is a great rifle, and the first deer that I ever harvested as a hunter was with that rifle, but it is not the one I prefer. I used to use a borrowed Winchester Model 88 like the one pictured below. This was not the only rifle I have used for hunting, but is by far my favorite. In any case, I am most comfortable with rifles with a pistol grip, as you can tell by what I use as a hunting rifle.

It also had a select fire switch that stated “Safe – Semi – Full.” I fired it when it was on the Full Auto setting only once, during training. (I don’t remember the other drill sergeants that were also there, but there were more.) Naturally the rifle I was trained with had a pistol grip. Drill Sergeant Van Wagner, Drill Sergeant Ruff, Drill Sergeant Albee, Sergeant Maynard, and Drill Sergeant Gear. This is the first rifle I learned to fire, from some of the finest Basic Rifle Marksmanship instructors I have ever had. The first rifle I ever fired was an M-16A1 when I was in basic training in the U.S. It really comes down to a personal preference. I have fired rifles both with and without pistol grips. There seems to be some controversy over the usefulness of a pistol grip on a rifle.
