I have seen some people tense up their fist and hold it to their chest. Why I have no idea.
Ayoob's book Stressfire explains the reason for this technique. The people you've seen doing it are either LFI grads or have been trained by LFI grads or have read the book.

Dude, I'd say you are one fine shot!

Wheels,

That's pretty good shooting!  8)

We've had a lot of handicapped people (even some in wheel chairs) come through the Academy and shoot quite well with the "Guard" both one and two handed.

Cheers,

D.R.

The "Ayoob" wedge is a favorite of mine because my hands are small for the G-22 ,for my 1911 regular overlap 2 hand grip and point shoot with thumbs, if necessary.

What works for me is strong left hand when shooting 2 hand with a relaxed grip on my strong hand, with a double stack I use the " Ayoob wedge" To control muzzel flip. I like to shoot the "zipper" and let the recoil ride the rounds up when off hand.

Now i am going to start off by stating that i have yet to buy D.R.'s FF system, but i tried the simple technique that he stated to wit the off elbow and shoulder is higher than the strongside. Well let me tell yall the worst place to try new techniques is in competition. Well today at a local bowling-pin comp. I tried it and low and behold.....wait for it.....yup i broke my personal best. Not only that, my peers were asking what my special secret was. Needless to say I led them on a little bit. Ammo change, gun lube change, new vitamins, a whole bunch of B.S.!!!!! Let me say it out louD.R.'s system R O C K S!!!! What a perfect tip man. I have almost gaurenteed the repeat championship for '07 with todays performance. Thanks MB & Marshal for the site and a BIGthanks to D.R.! Serious no joke.
