We don&#8217;t have pictures and videos of its use in the wild. But we can&#8217;t delay the publication of this article any longer, because it has become a roadblock for the publication of related grips on which we have amassed materials and done studies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are making an exception for the first time, by publishing &#8220;artist&#8217;s conceptions&#8221; of how this grip ought to work in the wild. These conceptual pictures and videos will be replaced by real materials when we discover and document its actual use in the wild. These conception illustrations enable us to discuss three variants of Finger Pistol in this article: the Shadow Rabbit, Flexed Middled and Toggle Switch. They also allow us to continue on, and publish articles on related Cross Pistol and <a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/the-turncoat-grip\/\">Turncoat Grip<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As said, we can&#8217;t find real-world users to document this grip. Nevertheless, there seems to be a limitless supply of actors demonstrating the Finger Pistol grip in shows and on ads (below). We have to wonder if any of them actually eats anything with this grip&#8230; because this grip is among one of the weakest alternative grips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Marcosticks-Finger-Pistol-Grip-Advertisement-Poster-on-LIRR-IMG_8280-chopsticks-scaled-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Marcosticks-Finger-Pistol-Grip-Advertisement-Poster-on-LIRR-IMG_8280-chopsticks-scaled-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Marcosticks - Finger Pistol Grip - Advertisement Poster on LIRR - IMG_8280-chopsticks\" class=\"wp-image-2719\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Marcosticks-Finger-Pistol-Grip-Advertisement-Poster-on-LIRR-IMG_8280-chopsticks-scaled-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Marcosticks-Finger-Pistol-Grip-Advertisement-Poster-on-LIRR-IMG_8280-chopsticks-scaled-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Marcosticks-Finger-Pistol-Grip-Advertisement-Poster-on-LIRR-IMG_8280-chopsticks-scaled-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Marcosticks-Finger-Pistol-Grip-Advertisement-Poster-on-LIRR-IMG_8280-chopsticks-scaled-1.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Ad showcasing Finger Pistol grip<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Etimology\"><\/span>Etimology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many <a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/family-tree-of-alternative-grips\/\">alternative grips<\/a> can be said to resemble this grip&#8217;s namesake.

This changes the <a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/learn-to-twirl-marcosticks\/\">1-on-2-support<\/a> structure of the bottom stick. One result of this is that rear ends of chopsticks tend to stick together, instead of being spread apart.

The ingenious way it operates the top chopstick led us to honor this variant with the title <strong>Toggle Switch<\/strong>. This variant operates with a <a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/under-swing-n-crossedness\/\">Classic Swing<\/a>, employing a strictly upright motion for the top chopstick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/User23-Finger-Pistol-Toggle-Switch-Lefthanded-mirrored-with-straws-snapping-air-IMG_6806-640x225-15fps.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/User23-Finger-Pistol-Toggle-Switch-Lefthanded-mirrored-with-straws-snapping-air-IMG_6806-640x225-15fps.gif\" alt=\"User23 - Finger Pistol Toggle Switch variant - Lefthanded mirrored - with straws - snapping air - slowmo - IMG_6806 640x225 15fps\" class=\"wp-image-2788\" width=\"480\" height=\"169\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Toggle Switch variant of Finger Pistol grip &#8211; alternating motion<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Chopsticks were unavailable at the time of the above filming.

The Toggle Switch (left) can almost be named &#8220;Flexed Index&#8221;, after Flexed Middle (right). Whereas Flexed Middle is a variant of Finger Pistol with a bent middle finger, Toggle Switch features a bent index finger. But we believe the title &#8220;Toggle Switch&#8221; is more appropriate, given how this alternative grip operates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Marcosticks-User23-Finger-Pistol-variant-3-Toggle-Switch-Compared-to-Flexed-Middle-seq2-03-IMG_6806-seq8a-IMG_3502-chopsticks-scaled-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"314\" src=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Marcosticks-User23-Finger-Pistol-variant-3-Toggle-Switch-Compared-to-Flexed-Middle-seq2-03-IMG_6806-seq8a-IMG_3502-chopsticks-scaled-1-1024x314.jpg\" alt=\"Marcosticks - User23 - Finger Pistol variant 3 Toggle Switch - Compared to Flexed Middle variant - seq2-03-IMG_6806 - seq8a-IMG_3502 - chopsticks\" class=\"wp-image-2790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Marcosticks-User23-Finger-Pistol-variant-3-Toggle-Switch-Compared-to-Flexed-Middle-seq2-03-IMG_6806-seq8a-IMG_3502-chopsticks-scaled-1-1024x314.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Marcosticks-User23-Finger-Pistol-variant-3-Toggle-Switch-Compared-to-Flexed-Middle-seq2-03-IMG_6806-seq8a-IMG_3502-chopsticks-scaled-1-300x92.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Marcosticks-User23-Finger-Pistol-variant-3-Toggle-Switch-Compared-to-Flexed-Middle-seq2-03-IMG_6806-seq8a-IMG_3502-chopsticks-scaled-1-768x236.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Marcosticks-User23-Finger-Pistol-variant-3-Toggle-Switch-Compared-to-Flexed-Middle-seq2-03-IMG_6806-seq8a-IMG_3502-chopsticks-scaled-1-1536x471.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Marcosticks-User23-Finger-Pistol-variant-3-Toggle-Switch-Compared-to-Flexed-Middle-seq2-03-IMG_6806-seq8a-IMG_3502-chopsticks-scaled-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Toggle Switch variant (left) vs. Flexed Middle variant (right)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Following pictures compare Toggle Switch (left) to <a href=\"https:\/\/marcosticks.org\/the-standard-grip\/\">Standard Grip<\/a> (right).
