Holding the thumb up (just far enough away to not obscure the sights) is better when you're running fast at short range. The position pictured above would be better for finer work.
Thats exactly how I do it.
I pull my thumbs down farther than you in your pictures, but otherwise similar basic concepts.
Can you elaborate on that a little bit?
I am not sure I understand the difference.
Thanks!
Not Craig,...but
If taking more time, I pull the left hand thumb farther down onto the firing hand thumb. If shooting faster and a bit less deliberate, just leaving it sort of hanging out standing up ready to cock the next round involves less movement. I think my brain just does it as a matter of expediency when shooting faster.
