Which description matches holding a handgun with two hands to the officer's back or the back of the head?

Two-handed handgun control pressed into the officer’s back or the back of the head describes a close-quarters threat where both hands stabilize and drive the weapon against the officer’s body. This two-handed grip conveys maximum stability and force, making it the description that matches the scenario. A one-handed grip would indicate a different control dynamic and level of stability. The terms about retention on a long gun refer to rifles, not this handgun situation, so they don’t describe the scenario.
