I see what you mean. This is a common problem with a pistol type drill
handle. The way to get round this, if you are right handed. (If you are
left handed, just change hands and follow this with your left hand doing
the pushing.)...

I hardly ever use HSS drills in a hand drill - I have a drill press which
would be used for steel, etc.
Wouldn't that be difficult to use to drill horizontally through wood? :-)
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Sorry
