I say this because the original topic was why gangsta-style shooting is silly.  So I realize that worrying about how people shoot Bullseye at 50 yards with a pistol might be a bit extreme and considering the tall target test for long range rifle even more so!

So lets look at the gangsta grip with fresh eyes.  First, can the shooter aim with it?  My answer is yes, given that it is used at close range in defensive (or more likely offensive) handgun situations.  The sideways recoil might even be a benefit in spraying down multiple targets as in a drive-by (which I'm not recommending - just saying! ).  Of course, I doubt that anyone using this grip is much of a shooter anyway; the purpose is to intimidate and establish control rather than to actually defend oneself.

So, while we have established, I think, that it is inferior to more conventional grips, preferred two-handed or even canted one-handed, for accuracy and recoil control, it might be reasonable for a shooter with limited trigger time who wants to inflict mayhem on or intimidate multiple opponents.

Does that make any sense?
