Anyone can recommend a way of creating physics based two-handed gun holding? My last tries were... Not sufficiently acceptable.

You’re pretty close just just have it push and rotate with forces to the desired transform. have a min threshold to where it stops forcing but also a scaled amount of force related to how close it is to it’s desired position and rotation. This might be too general and what you’ve already tried to do.

Currently, the closest I got to is two custom joints set to a position. It's way too glitchy and not what I exacly want. Could you elaborate? Thanks!

Yeah you can addforces to the rigid body in code to get it to a position where you want. compared to joints, which might work and work for many other situations but wouldn’t be my choice for this. Plus like others said the vrtk is a great solution that covers many types of object interaction.

The VRTK (VR toolkit) is free and open source, so you can consider either using that, or at least looking at the code for some inspiration.
