A novel adjustable hand grip device for use with a three dimensional coordinate measurement system provides an ergnomically formed pistol grip rotatably positioned on a manually manipulated multijointed measuring arm allowing a plurality of angular positions convenient to an operator. The adjustable hand grip includes a clamp for releasably securing the device n a preselected position. An embodiment of the present invention includes a ball and detent device for releasably positioning the hand grip in a plurality of preselected positions. In yet another embodiment the hand grip device includes a swivel joint allowing rotation of the pistol grip relative to the clamp.
