What grip is used in the Harries flashlight technique?

The Harries flashlight technique utilizes the ice pick grip, which involves holding the flashlight in a way that resembles the grip used for an ice pick. This grip allows for excellent control and maneuverability of the flashlight while also providing a stable platform for the shooter’s handgun.

By using this grip, the operator can effectively illuminate a target while keeping their firearm aligned and ready to engage, making it a practical choice for law enforcement and tactical applications. The hand holding the flashlight typically rests high on the weapon's frame, which enhances both visibility and accuracy during low-light conditions.

The ice pick grip is particularly beneficial as it allows for a natural wrist position and helps to reduce fatigue during prolonged use, maintaining a strong and secure hold on the flashlight.
