Very interesting way of holding a pistol and cigar.

Yep, but I bet a twitch of the finger would put a whole in front of what/whoever is in front of him!

Edit - a “whole” hole even!

Hi,

Let's not take our pistol instruction from Kojak.

We all know the cigar is held in the weak hand.

Thank you for your indulgence,

This was actually taught as a point shooting style until not very long ago (and still might be).

You basically use your index finger to point along the frame; idea was you aim by just pointing your finger. I know some troops that deployed from a local NG unit that were taught it in the mid 2000’s.

It’s also the shooting style Jack Ruby used to assassinate Oswald.

Its thinking about him putting the cigar to and from his mouth that really got me lol.

I actually had to shoot like that on several occasions with stitches over the knuckle of my index finger 5 years apart.

It's also taught for shotgun wing shooting to point your support hand index finger towards the target.

Hard to do on a break action. Which is the only legitimate wing shooting shotgun.

Jack Ruby's trigger finger was bitten so badly in a fight that doctors amputated it. So he adopted an odd grip on the revolver.

Maybe try closing the action...
