A successful defensive handgun shooting stance can be achieved by following these four steps:

Power Stance (1): The power stance provides proper balance, ease of movement, and stability.

High Hold (2): Place the web of the thumb and shooting finger high on the backstrap of the pistol.

Solid Grip (3): Obtain the same firm grip every time your hands come in contact with a handgun frame.

Front Sight (4): Your HIVIZ front sight should be “razor sharp” in your vision, centered in the valley of the rear sight, and placed on the spot you wish to place your shot before you put your finger on the trigger.
