If your grip is causing you intermittent malfunctions, your grip is either inconsistent, or the problem intermittently. Are there any other explanations?
I bought a Mantis X and analyzing my trigger presses learned my grip and press wasn't as consistent as I thought it was. I have long used the wedge grip, along with the DB Glock grip. My first FTU LT had the mantra "don't let your equipment defeat you". A more reasoned way of putting it over two decades later is "know your equipment well enough it won't have a role in your defeat".
I remember Todd G teaching a sorta reverse horseshoe grip in AFHF a little over a decade ago. Todd was fast, and accurate. It didn't work for me. At all.
I have big hands, and if I didn't pay attention and internalize my grip my duty Sig would not lock open, and my current G17.4 would either lock open early or not at all.

Clusterfrack, among others, is someone I have a lot of time to listen to.
In firearms training there have been revolutionary changes and evolutionary changes. There is a lot of Not-Invented-Here syndrome, and, based on observations, a
WHOLE LOT of sacred cows that need to be slaughtered.
The Modern Technique was modern 30-50 years ago. We owe the Good Colonel a debt for advancing things. And based on his personality he may not have been able to do the update without a lot of work.
A lot of shooters here are putting in the work today. With today's realities, to drive this craft forward.
I am up past my bedtime. See you later.
