It is often portrayed in the media that members of US gangs (e.g. the Crips and Bloods) typically hold their guns sideways.

Here is a stock photo illustrating how they are portrayed in the media.

Is this typical?

    I cannot write this as an answer because I lack proper sources, but is anything, it appears that [in this case](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_grip), media such as rap videos and movies affect real life just as much... so that the portrayal **makes** criminals use that gun stance to appear cool. There are a few links from the Wikipedia article, I suggest reading them. –  Dec 29 '18 at 11:15
