This is exactly how I shoot and when drawing it is the grip that I automatically end up with. Several people have tried to get me to stop doing it and all have failed. It just feels natural to me, but is not right becasue the one problem I have with this grip is that my left hand is gripping my right hand so far up that my left middle finger interferes with my right trigger finger moving from out of the trigger guard to the trigger when I am pointing the weapon. That is a problem in stress situations when you might need to go from out of the trigger guard to the trigger as quickly as possible. I am trying to change my grip...it's hard to break such an ingrained habit.
