The neat thing, is with a timer and a few target arrays it is quite easy to sort out whether any particular tweak is or is not working for you.

We started shooting about 25 yrs ago. Web hadn't started much then so all I had was magazines to read. We happened to go from a Ruger full size something to Beretta 92. That squared trigger guard w/ checkering was there so I used it. Seemed pretty obvious to me that it helped control muzzle rise. I don't remember when but pretty much everything I came across regarding grip said front of the guard wasn't a good technique so I quit using it. I don't know though. There are a he11 of a lot of pistols made w/ a square guard. I believe Glock is probably the most popular pistol being made now and they all have a square guard. So there must be something to it. GJM, I really look forward to your testing.
Back in the late nineties or early oughts, I had my first experience with a full auto G17 (modified back plate) in South America. Index finger on the trigger guard made the gun mostly controllable.

If you have the fingers and grip for it I can see it as an asset in recoil management. Me I cannot. A 6’4 friend with catcher mitt for hands who has a problem just getting meat away from the slide on an auto. Will only shoot square trigger guard’s For his own reasons.
I think I recently saw something by @Mas about this grip on a G26. I’ll admit I haven't shot this way in decades.

I think @Glock26 the guy who made GM with a Glock 26 shot that way with that gun.Originally Posted by HeavyDuty
I used to shoot that way, too, way back when, but quit after some pundit said it was bad. Probably about the time I started with the center axis relock...
I wonder if the RDS might not give center axis relock a new life.I used to shoot that way, too, way back when, but quit after some pundit said it was bad. Probably about the time I started with the center axis relock...

I watched Lena Miculek's video, where she describes wrapping two fingers around the trigger guard. The benefit she describes is better recoil control. Here is her video:
I tried to find something from Eric Grauffel describing his method, but haven't so far.
I hit the range today and was very curious what I would learn. Was it trick if the day or something else. What I saw was faster splitting but especially fast and precise transitions. It seems like the high finger position with my support hand index finger gives me more leverage and better transition control/speed with the pistol. I am going to keep messing with it for a while.
