Better Way to parent things to hands?

Serene Night

Is there a better way to parent things like weapons to hands? I find if I have an older weapon model with no autofit for gen 3, that I have to position it manually. If I do that before I parent, then when I parent it to the hand the weapon gets wildly out of position. IS there a way to fix that? Or am I just doing it the wrong way? Is there a way to parent it as it is, without it leaping to an entirely different locale?

Make sure that Parent in Place is set, in the change parent dialogue if you are using that or in the Scene pane option menu if you are using drag-and-drop.

Sometimes just setting the items origin back to 0,0,0 after parenting works, but not always.
