Actually that is, or was, a real-life "gangbanger" thing that movies and TV picked up on. I'd seen it in a few TV shows (i.e. NEW YORK UNDERCOVER) some time before it was used in PAYBACK.

The last time I went through a refresher course at FLETC, one of the firearms instructors was even recommending it, but I couldn't get comfortable with the sideways grip.
