The pistol grip (otherwise known as the anatomical or orthopedic grip), originally developed for a nineteenth-century Belgian master who had lost fingers in a tram accident, contours entirely to one's hand and is held much like a pistol, hence the name.

American grip - American grip is a technique used to hold drum sticks and mallets to play percussion instruments. This form of matched grip is a hybrid of the French grip and German grip.
