How do you hold non-trigger-handle-shaped airbrushes?

Yeah, so I have the Badger 150, bottom feed. The instructions don't tell me how to hold on to it securely...I would like some help in figuring out where to put my fingers without knocking off the tenously jacked-in paint cup.

I am right-handed. I hold it against the palm of my hand with my middle finger under the barrel just forrard of the air feed with the cup pointing to the left. If you use a cup rather than a jar and angle the cup away from your fingers you will find it easier.

Cheers,

Rob

Check out Hyperscale. Brett Greene does a painting demonstration where he holds his brush (to me) in an unconventional way. He operates the trigger with his thumb.
