Re: Control of Recoil
Putting your index finger on the front of the guard can work good for you and Jerry Miculek advises it for the lightweight guns but the problem is when you add a light to the gun that option is no longer available so you have to train differently with the light attached. Keeping your thumbs out of the way is probably one of the harder things to master and every time I read about someone's Sig not locking on the last round I pretty much assume that they need to work on their grip.
Watch the whole video, it's a good one that I downloaded years ago but Jerry demonstrates finger on trigger guard at 11:30 in the video.

Re: Control of Recoil
I think most people aren’t taking advantage of their support hand grip by placing more of the support hand palm against the grip so both hands are squeezing like you have pliers in each hand. This lets both hands do equal squeezing on the gun and better manages recoil. Also most seem to not be squeezing with both hands enough in general.

Re: Control of Recoil
Thanks guys for your opinion. After many years of hardcore workouts caused wrist, hands, injured shoulders, discs, legs etc. My doc doesn't know how I can still
move and do Burpees and lots of plyo workouts. Here is the last workout that nailed me:
AGE 80. There are Vertical strength, like in a gym, I am Horizontal Power with rapid and speed and movements. I use the speed ladder for rapid foot movements. My grandson in 100 meters in school. I said I will lay down on my back facing him at 5 yards ahead and see who can be first to 25 yards. When he starts I'll twist over and beat him. I used plyo hands doing the speed ladder. Then I decided doing it using fists that did me in. I sprained and strained the forearms, biceps, shoulders, neck, lats etc. The doc said when you made a fist, you all ready tightened the ligaments and muscles teared them. I used to do 25 pullups, now I can do only 3.
Holding a pistol tight is painful.

Re: Control of Recoil
I'm also 80 with small hands and bad eyes and have a variety of semi automatics ranging in size from a PPSM2 to a 1911. I personally think the handgun I shoot most accurately is a Gen 4 Glock 22. It has a large grip but it helps me get a big part of my left palm on it and keep it stable through trigger pull. I have a Lone Wolf 9mm conversion barrel for it and it shoots them fine with Glock 17 mags.
