This ain't the first time I bought stuff from Aliexpress I know almost everything is a fake and I only paid like £3 for him but still is a bummer. Can anyone recommend any tactics to make his hands a bit tighter?

Try dipping them in water that slightly cooled off from boiling point for 5 seconds. That will soften the plastic making it pliable. Immediately after either 'squeeze' the hand to desired position and hold for a few seconds (but not too long, a bit less than it was in the hot water) and plunge straight into cold or even ice water to 'freeze' your new position.

Alternatively, instead of the squeeze and freeze, you could dip it in even cooler HOT water (boiled then wait 45 seconds) place his pistol in the hand you just made pliable and wrap a small rubber band (like a loom band or small hair band-smaller is better) until he is holding it like you prefer. Just let him chill for 24 hours before removing band.
