my reasoning behind not doing the locked elbows, is would you jump off a small flight of stairs and lock your knees? your trying to absorb recoil gently as opposed to with alot of force...
and the reason i dont cup and saucer it is the more grip surface you cover the more control of you have over the firearm.. not to mention if you have your elbow bent and aimed up it gives the gun a pivot point...
if you push your elbows out horizontally and then extend to almost full extension but not lock your elbows you will find alot better recoil managment!
I completely agree. That pretty much sums up the book "Surgical Speed Shooting" by Andy Stanford (which is another good resource for improving your handgun shooting ability).
