pistol grip

Gun-shaped handle

A pistol grip is a handle shaped like that of a handgun, allowing the hand to grip at an angle rather than in line with the object.

Found on power tools, cameras, rifles, and other equipment where a firm, controlled grip improves handling: a shotgun with a pistol grip, the pistol grip on the circular saw.
