Many years ago when I first started shooting Glocks, I used to grip my G19 with my left thumb pointed down the slide and towards the target while placing my index finger lightly on the front of the trigger guard. The was very comfortable for me.
After some time, some friends and relatives of mine who had some formal training go me out of "the habit". I haven't used that grip in years.
So my questions are these;
1) Why is this grip technique considered poor by some?
2) If it isn't taught normally, or is considered poor, why do some manufacturers (Glock, Sig, S&W, and others) build trigger guards that provide a spot just for that, and why do some custom 1911's square and checker the guard?
Just one of those questions I suppose...
