As far as grips, I find that I am more consistent with a tight grip, than a relaxed grip. However for bullseye type shooting, a tight grip can get very tiring. Fatigue doesn't help the scores either.

While crushing that poor defenceless, unarmed ball, you should be shouting out

You guys with the soft hand grip must be revolver shooters...... 
You do that with a 1911 or most autos you will have problems with FTF, FTE, etc..
(just had to throw that in for grins and giggles)..........

I have a video of Jeff Cooper shooting a 1911 with 2 fingers. It never really worked well for me, though it did work and proved his point about being "high" on the pistol.
