Milking in Handgun Grips

Posted June 13th, 2009.

Milking is a term frequently used in the area of handgun grips. This term has been taken from the movement of the hand while milking a cattle’s udder. Milking takes place when you try to close your index finger on the trigger to shoot your target and the other fingers spontaneously closes with it. This spontaneous closing of the other fingers causes the grasp to change and it ultimately change the sight from the target. Most of the time, this milking cause the shot to go a little low and to the sideways of the target and in this way reduces the efficiency of your handgun grips.
