Handguns were originally designed to be fired one handed. As long as it's safe, do whatever is comfortable.

Did you try magdumping with the teacup grip? It's not the biggest sin a shooter could commit, it's just a pretty terrible grip for maintaining control during rapid fire.

As for chicken winging it's a matter of presenting a somewhat larger target and, again, about providing a higher level of control over your weapon.

Both methods were taught to police and military, but as time went on people discovered flaws/more comfortable ways to hold it. If it works for you do it, fuck people, if you dont have a reason for telling me not to do something then you can fuck off mom.

Chicken winging is fine for 99% of people, only autistic coach commandos care about it. Literally you are sacrificing a better shooting position for the sake of placing your plate (if you're wearing one) front on to the target, making yourself stick out slightly less, and not bang your elbow on doors.

Are you a high-speed low drag Turbo fag? No? Then chicken wing to your heart's content.

i always use my left hand index finger to grip the front of the trigger guard, allows for minute adjustments to aim.

>t. someone who shoots better than most of you faggots

Teacupping doesn't really have any advantages. It doesn't give you as much control, and doesn't make the gun easier to lift than just rolling your support hand forward. No, it's not the worst thing, but I don't see why someone would be insistent on using it.

Chicken-winging doesn't matter much for most people, but tea-cupping means sacrificing massive amounts of recoil control and may lead to poor feeding in recoil-locked guns.

My grandfather taught me that teacup was fine for revolvers but not semi-autos.

As for chicken-wing, what does it really do?
How could an outward hold of your elbow be a better stance than having it close to your body and a tighter body support system than chicken-winging?

It looks stupid and feels less secure/tight.

I don't understand what argument could be made for chicken-winging

Chicken wing is more accurate. Look at olympic, and target shooters.
If someone's shooting back you are a bigger target though. And if you get hit, it's more likely to be in side, or in a way armour won't protect as well.
Different stances for different shooting applications. Like the CAR shooting method. I believe it's like martial arts, and learning about different styles, and when to use them can only help.

Tea cupping reduces your ability to control recoil. It won't affect your groupings if you're firing slowly but you'll find that you're much less accurate when firing rapidly than if you were using Weaver or Isosceles

>If someone's shooting back you are a bigger target though.
you are actually a smaller target or people were until everyone got fat. less likely to get shot in the torso more likely to get hit in the arm

> And if you get hit, it's more likely to be in side, or in a way armor won't protect as well.
the widespread use of body armor is what killed chickenwinging. you want the plate to get hit sqare on rather than get shot though the side or armpit with no plate coverage.

Tea cupping a revolver is okay...dosen't help you with recoil at all, but just like how you never see grunts doing thumb over bore because shit gets heavy when holding a rifle all day and they grab the magwell instead, it just help support the weight of the weapon because our monkey arms were not meant to be out streched for long periods of time, there's a reason why holding your rifle out streched is a punishment in the military.
