My father taught me early on to give a firm hand shake, but not to crush the other guy. I'm from the pacific northwest, Oregon. Maybe it's a regional thing.
I used to work in parole and probation. When meeting other officers, attorneys, judges- whoever, it was always a firm hand shake but not a "hey, I'm in control of you" thing. However often when I'd meet a new "client" they'd try this "I'm going to crush you" BS. That's why I started placing my index finger in the middle if the other guys wrist. They can squeeze as hard as they want, it's not going to hurt you and you can still give a firm hand shake.
