I've struck a deal on a nice, vintage CO2 revolver and would like some tips on the proper stance and grip to practice. I see in the US Army Pistol Manual, they are shooting with one hand only and of course the target shooters in the Olympics use one hand. However, everyone I see shooting pistol in real life uses a two handed grip. Where do I start?
Proper grip and stance for shooting C02 revolver?

Are you kidding me. They have this wonderful thing which you seem to already be aware of called the internet. And there is this site you go to called google. Try it out. This question is beyond newb. HINT - Search bullseye competition.
Kdx - here is your thread from this board.
I find that to be a stupid question but I don't answer threads unless I have some thing helpful to add. The fact is that there are a variety of stances and grips for holding a handgun. I asked same question at CAF and got tons of helpful info. So thanks for nothing KDX.
So, if there are any board members with experience shooting hanguns (not just airguns) and have some advice to get me started, it would be much appreciated. I want to start plinking in my basement and then work on my rpal after hunting season. My heart is set on a Ruger single six and i want to ingrain good habits from the start.

Alright well I apologize, I am just annoyed by questions that are answered by a simple google search. But you joined this forum for a reason. Here is your answer. There are different styles of shooting for different competitions. The one handed method is called bullseye shooting where you use one hand and shoot 3 different targets with three different time limits to get the shots off. This is not practical, defensive shooting like you would see in IPSC, IDPA, or TDSA. The 2 handed shooting is more practical, but there is other competitions like PPC where you shoot every possible way using good hand and bad hand so it is useful to practice. Really you should figure out what kind of shooting you wanna do, and practise that style. Just watch some videos of IPSC, and Bullseye shooting to see what I mean. Good Luck.
Apology accepted, when I ask a question here it’s because I trust the experts on CGN to give me a proper response. I’ve learned lots abut guns and shooting here. I don’t trust Google and it usually isn’t the first place I look when I want quality information. Google is great for #### and finding the cheapest price on something. CGN in best when you want opinions and the sharing of collective knowledge of the 50 thousand members here. I did search the board before posting but couldn’t isolate any similar threads.
Thanks for the help.
